Milano’s Luxe Luggage
With a history spanning over seven
decades and a proud reputation

contemporary Italian 昀氀air.

sturdy trunks and a range of special editions

a Pilates station, or even a sophisticated
travel accessory for your four-legged friend.

and a 昀氀awless combination of practicality and
elegance, this standout Italian brand has an
ever-growing legion of fans, and it’s not hard
to see why.

Travel companions
to last a lifetime.
From kennels to
cocktails: exploring
FPM’s special editions
The range of special edition trunks,
all designed and assembled
to FPM’s famously exacting
standards, are intriguing, surprising,
and certainly make a statement.
At Air Partner, we are passionate about pets
and love that many customers are increasingly
choosing to 昀氀y privately with theirs. Not only
does it allow them to ensure the utmost comfort
and safety of their whole family – and not just the
human kind – but the reduced stress your pet
experiences and the peace of mind that comes
from having them by your side is invaluable. So,
it’s no surprise that our favourite special edition
is the FPM Pet Station, which was recently
launched at Milan Design Week. This entirely
bespoke trunk conveniently and stylishly houses
a fold-away kennel, providing the perfect place
for your pet to relax during holidays or whilst
soaring the skies, as well as a luxury collar,
matching lead, bowls, and all the grooming
accessories they could possibly need.
Where vintage style
meets modern travel.

of luxury, from fashion
to supercars.
Well beyond the realms of standard luggage,
FPM’s design prowess is also evident in the rest
of the Special Editions range. You’ll 昀椀nd the likes
of a Mixology Station, which is literally a high-end
bar in a trunk, and an ingenious Cookstation
that incorporates a fridge, cooktop, and storage
drawers, making it perfect for an impromptu al
fresco experience.
The BANK collection: iconic design,
contemporary craftsmanship
The primary FPM collection is the iconic BANK
series, created in conjunction with renowned
designer, Marc Sadler. The classic trunk design,
which takes in昀氀uence from vintage portable
trunks from the nineteenth and twentieth
centuries, has been given the ultimate modern
makeover. Exclusively made in Italy, all models
are constructed from strong yet surprisingly
light corrugated aluminium, are as secure as they
are stylish, and feature tactile 昀椀ne Italian leather
handles and compartment dividers.
In keeping with the brand’s reputation for
excellence, FPM trunks and Special Editions are
built by artisans, predominantly by hand. These
tough-as-nails travel companions will last you a
lifetime, so it’s handy that they come in a range of
colours and sizes to ful昀椀l all your travel needs.
If one thing is clear from FPM’s
exquisite range, it’s the brand’s ability
to evolve to the needs of the modern
luxury traveller. And, whether you
are a nomadic explorer, business jet
setter or leisure vacationer, there is
something to suit everyone in this
sophisticated range.
