Antler, the 110-Year-Old Luggage Maker, Has a New Summer Line Built for Frequent Fliers

WWDWednesday, May 27, 2026

The British luggage brand Antler has been around since 1914, but it’s not resting on its heritage. Known for affordable luxury—most suitcases stay under $400—the label is now making a serious push to win over American travelers. Its latest summer capsule is designed to make packing and moving through airports feel a little less chaotic.

The collection includes everything from crescent-shaped crossbody bags and soft sunglasses cases to weekender bags and packing cubes. The standout piece, however, is the Raffia Tote, a handwoven bag that’s currently available for pre-order until June 17. It’s lined with full-grain leather, has an adjustable strap, and even includes a pass-through sleeve for sliding over a suitcase handle. It’s the kind of bag that looks just as right at a seaside café as it does in a boarding line.

Antler’s design team leaned into texture and warmth for this drop, moving away from the sterile, hard-shell look that dominates airport carousels. The color palette draws from British landscapes: sand, buckthorn red, forest green, and a coral that nods to the Yorkshire Moors. Stripes evoke cabanas and beach umbrellas. There’s also a wipe-clean Poolside Pouch for keeping your phone dry by the water.

The brand’s signature stag’s head logo still appears, but the real throughline is quality at a fair price. Toiletry bags start under $40, and the overall vibe is aspirational without being out of reach. Whether you’re hopping between cities or lounging by a pool, Antler’s new lineup makes it easier to travel light—and look good doing it.
