The "Extra" in Valextra
The "Extra" in Valextra
A valigia, or suitcase, with something "extra". The two words, put together, make up a new one: Valextra. And the case itself is a fine illustration of the name. Dating from 1954, it's designed for an overnight business trip, catering to this scenario by containing, on one side, a compartment for a change of clothes and, on the other, a detachable briefcase for documents. The neat separation empowers its user to spend less time rummaging and more time getting things done. It's a thoughtful, unexpected and entirely characteristic "extra" that reflects a love for both beauty and utility.
