Designed by Dutchman Henk van de Meene, the HENK suitcase is made up from red Italian burl, black ebony, horse hair, magnesium, aluminum, titanium, carbon fiber, parachute fabric and is dressed in supreme quality leather.

The carbon-fiber exterior is very similar to the cockpit of a Formula 1 racecar. !

The suitcase has been designed in such a manner that when dragged it is practically weightless. Even when it is fully loaded a pressure of just 25 grams is exerted on ones fingers.

It has too many features to be listed here, but they include wheels and storage spaces that appear at the push of a button, a special briefcase compartment, and an anti-theft cable: if you feel like sleeping on the trip but want your Henk not to be stolen by thieves, you can attach yourself to your suitcase with a Liquid Crystal Polymer anti-theft cable.

the special edition Henks has been created exclusively for 20ltd – only five were created. Priced at US $28,000 (18,000 euros)
