The idea of ​​Tucano stems from an analogy that Franco Luini, owner of the brand, wanted to make or rather transfer to his products, starting from the colors of the toucans present in Brazil.

The peculiarity of this Italian brand lies in the great attention to detail, not only aesthetic but also functional. Tucano trolleys are ergonomic, comfortable, easy to carry, and open.

Alviero Martini

Alviero Martini is an Italian stylist struggling with the work of costume designer, window dresser and then actor. During his work in Rome, in 1987 he had the idea of ​​creating his own line of bags and travel accessories with a geographical map theme. The idea came precisely from a suitcase because the designer was exactly handling a trolley and by chance, by placing a map on the suitcase, he had a flash of genius.

The Alviero Martini trolleys are elegant and refined, perfect for any type of travel because in addition to being aesthetically pleasing to the eye and to the touch, they are also extremely functional and respectful of the most particular needs of the traveler.

The material with which these suitcases are made is a very delicate cotton with the geographical map printed on it. In fact, Alviero Martini is very famous first of all for the material and printing with which he has endowed his products. The material called “Geo” is soft and delicate. A PVC film follows the cotton for protection purposes. Although it may seem paradoxical, this type of embossed fabric is waterproof and tear resistant. The shades are applied by hand and the details are embellished and protected with a vegetable treatment that improves the resistance of the leather that covers bags and trolleys, protecting these same parts from water and wear.

Piquadro

Piquadro is one of the most original Italian brands ever. Piquadro’s creations combine style and functionality. Resistant, beautiful, refined suitcases can be transported with manageability and ease, always offering a refined design.

All suitcases have a space capable of perfectly meeting the most common requests and needs. In fact, the external parts of the trolleys are equipped with pockets for storing the most varied travel items.

The Piquadro brand then presents some completely unique and special innovations: these are technological innovations that make Piquadro suitcases capable of communicating via App with the suitcase owner and alerting if the suitcase has moved too far, if the mobile phone battery is low, providing, therefore, the possibility of reloading the same through simple contact, to specify the weight of the suitcase once the internal organization has been completed, to activate the closure and deactivate it at the appropriate time. All this is possible thanks to the App available for iOS and Android called Connequ.

The materials used range from the most commonly selected and quality leather to contemporary technological fabrics to not lose the taste of modernity. After careful selection and processing, Piquadro subjects its products to strict tests.

The refined and specific style makes all trolleys and travel bags tools capable of evoking romantic and dreamy feelings, mixed with a completely personalized elegance. Hence, the slogan of the founder of the Paoli brand and director of the brand, Alessio: “When luxury meets timeless elegance”.
