Lipault: The french luggage brand reinventing the art of travel

When boldness meets innovation

Born in 2005 in the heart of Paris, Lipault is more than just a luggage brand—it’s a colorful revolution in the world of travel. In just a few years, the brand has established itself as a fresh and modern alternative to traditional luggage. Say goodbye to dull, rigid suitcases and hello to soft, vibrant, and ultra-functional creations designed for a new generation of travelers seeking both style and practicality.

With its minimalist and chic aesthetic, Lipault appeals to an urban and modern clientele passionate about travel and mobility. Its rapid success has led to the opening of several flagship stores, including locations in Paris (Madeleine, Rennes, Mozart) and London’s Covent Garden.

Iconic collections and a lifestyle vision

Lipault doesn’t just reinvent suitcases—it creates an entire universe around travel. Each collection is designed to combine aesthetics, functionality, and innovation.

The brand’s two icons

• Lost in Berlin: Inspired by the vibrant energy of the German capital, this collection features ultra-durable materials like rubberized coated canvas, which is waterproof and scratch-resistant. With a bold, modern design, it’s perfect for urban explorers who refuse to compromise on style or practicality.
• Plume: Lipault’s iconic signature. Made from ultra-lightweight, water-repellent nylon, this collection stands out for its silky touch and glossy finish. Designed for travelers in search of elegance, it promises effortless and lightweight journeys.

But Lipault goes beyond luggage, seamlessly integrating into everyday life with a wide range of practical and stylish accessories:

• Sleek backpacks designed for every journey, featuring smart compartments and ultra-resistant materials.
• Toiletry bags and travel organizers for optimal organization.
• Briefcases and laptop bags for digital nomads, blending style and ergonomics.
• Beach bags and quirky sleep masks, perfect for relaxation moments.

Each accessory is crafted with the same attention to detail and high-quality standards, offering a seamless and stylish travel experience.

Two new releases designed for modern travelers

Lipault continues to push the boundaries of design and functionality with two standout new pieces: the Exile Duffle and the Travel Backpack.

Exile Duffle: A spacious travel bag reinventing the concept of soft luggage. Inspired by the Lost in Berlin collection, it is crafted from rubberized coated canvas—a water-resistant and scratch-proof material, perfect for travelers seeking both durability and elegance. Available in four refined shades—Black, Cement Storm, Sandstone, and Nutsy Nut—this model showcases a minimalist monochrome design with subtle metallic finishes reminiscent of Berlin’s architecture. Equipped with two wheels and multiple smart compartments, including a dedicated shoe section and an internal compression panel, it ensures optimal organization and unparalleled travel comfort.

Travel Backpack: The ideal alternative to a carry-on suitcase. Available in nylon or coated canvas, this ultra-functional backpack is designed to meet the size restrictions of many low-cost airlines, allowing travelers to avoid extra baggage fees. Built for convenience, it features multiple dedicated pockets for easy access to essentials like passports, keys, and water bottles. Its interior is structured like a suitcase, incorporating Lipault’s signature handle and compression system to maximize packing space in a compact format. As a bonus, it includes a travel organizer for even more efficient packing.

With these two new additions, Lipault once again proves its ability to blend innovation, aesthetics, and practicality, catering to the needs of urban travelers and modern globetrotters.

An ambitious international expansion

Lipault continues its global expansion with the upcoming opening of a new boutique in Saint-Germain-des-Prés, right in the heart of Paris. This new store will further establish the brand’s presence in the capital, offering Parisians and visitors a dedicated space to explore its signature collections and latest innovations. In London, the Covent Garden store, which opened in summer 2024, perfectly embodies Lipault’s DNA with its sleek and colorful design, nestled in a vibrant neighborhood known for its luxury boutiques and concept stores. These strategic openings reinforce Lipault’s ambition to become a key reference in chic and functional luggage worldwide.

With more than 500 points of sale worldwide, Lipault is accelerating its international growth. After conquering Europe, the brand is now setting its sights on new markets, with additional store openings planned by 2026.

Lipault, the future of chic and sustainable travel

Lipault is more than just a brand—it’s a way of life. A perfect balance of bold aesthetics, sustainable innovation, and absolute comfort. Luggage becomes a true fashion accessory, designed to elevate every journey.

With its timeless creations, eco-conscious approach, and global ambitions, Lipault is cementing itself as an essential name in the world of travel.
