Luxury Leather Cabin Bags & Hand Luggage for Gents
Discover the best leather cabin bags and hand luggage for discerning travellers. Each piece in our Maxwell Scott collection is handcrafted in Italy from genuine full grain cowhide leather, the highest quality cut available. Designed for male professionals and gents who value refined simplicity, this designer cabin luggage balances style, function and longevity.
Every handmade Italian leather cabin bag is built using traditional craft techniques in Tuscany, where generations of artisans work with natural full grain leather. The result is durable, high quality hand luggage that looks expensive, feels considered, and matures beautifully over time.
Add a personal touch with embossed initials for a bespoke finish. With strong structure, minimalist design and a timeless profile, this is fine Italian cabin luggage made to last.
Cabin Ready: Travel Without Compromise
Your cabin bag should do more than pass a size check. A high quality piece of cabin luggage should combine style, strength and confidence. Every Maxwell Scott cabin bag is handcrafted in Italy from genuine full grain cowhide leather by skilled artisans using traditional Italian craft. The result is durable, long lasting hand luggage with a minimalist and quietly luxurious feel.
Our handmade leather cabin bags are made in Italy from fine vegetable tanned leather. They are designed around UK and EU cabin bag regulations so even a gentleman’s cabin luggage fits smoothly into the overhead rather than being sent to the hold. The Flero range blends Italian leather craft with British practicality. It looks stylish and it works.
Cabin Friendly by Design
- Streamlined silhouette: a structured profile designed to fit within common hand luggage allowances (typically 56 × 45 × 25 cm), including British Airways main cabin bag limits and easyJet large cabin bag upgrades.
- Strong build: full grain Italian leather keeps its shape instead of sagging, which protects clothing, tech and documents better than soft nylon.
- Hand finished: each cabin bag is handmade in Italy by leatherworkers who specialise in traditional cowhide work. This is not mass produced.
- Personal detail: add embossed initials for a discreet mark of ownership, ideal for gifting to a frequent flyer.
With Italian cowhide, strong metal fittings and clean, minimalist lines throughout, this is cabin luggage for gents who appreciate quiet luxury over loud branding.
- Ideal for 1 to 3 nights: the best format for short business trips or last minute weekends away.
- Airport to boardroom: an Italian leather cabin bag that still looks appropriate in a meeting.
- Easy to carry: comfortable leather handles and a detachable shoulder strap so you move quickly and stay hands free.
Choose hand luggage that reflects your taste. Travel with something you are proud to put in the overhead.
What Fits Inside Your Cabin Bag
The best cabin bags for men are not just stylish. They are laid out intelligently. Our Italian leather cabin luggage is both durable and strong, with enough internal structure to keep what you pack in good condition so you step off the plane already presentable.
Below is a realistic two night packing plan for UK business travel or a short European break without checking luggage.
Your 48 to 72 Hour Kit
- Two shirts, folded flat to minimise creasing
- Light blazer or knit for evening or meetings
- One extra pair of trousers or chinos
- Compact footwear such as loafers or drivers
- Wash bag for grooming essentials
- 13 to 14 inch laptop plus charger in a protected sleeve
- Watch roll or an embossed leather valuables case for jewellery and timepieces
- Passport and wallet secured in the internal zip pocket so they are easy to reach in the security tray
Because we use full grain cowhide leather and traditional made in Italy build quality, the cabin bag keeps its shape instead of collapsing like cheaper fabric luggage. Shirts stay wearable. Tech stays safe. You do not have to change in the gents on arrival.
Professional Advantage
- No checked luggage: true hand luggage that avoids bag drop and avoids last minute hold fees at the gate.
- Professional presentation: a designer cabin bag that reads refined, not sporty. Ideal for a male professional who wants to look prepared, not casual.
- Practical luxury: one cabin bag, one hand, and no plastic trolley case to drag up stairs.
The Flero collection is available in black, tan and chestnut brown. Each cabin bag is handcrafted in Italy, can be personalised with your initials embossed, and is built with a long term view of quality.
Cabin Bag Size Guide for Popular UK Airlines
Cabin rules vary by airline and they do change. Use this quick reference when choosing cabin luggage so you know if your Italian leather cabin bag will be accepted as hand luggage rather than checked.
British Airways
- Main cabin bag size: 56 × 45 × 25 cm. This suits most medium and large leather cabin bags.
- Personal item size: 40 × 30 × 15 cm. Works for a slim leather briefcase or laptop bag.
- Weight: British Airways typically allows up to 23 kg combined across your hand luggage and personal item, which is generous for a premium carrier.
- Why it matters: a structured full grain leather cabin bag stays within those dimensions and still looks appropriate in the lounge and in the boardroom.
easyJet
- Standard free hand luggage: one under seat cabin bag up to 45 × 36 × 20 cm that must fit fully under the seat in front.
- Large cabin bag with upgrade: 56 × 45 × 25 cm for the overhead locker. This is ideal for a short work trip or a two night stay.
- Tip: buying the larger cabin bag allowance in advance is often cheaper than being charged at the gate. A structured leather cabin bag that keeps its outline helps avoid last minute fees.
Why Italian Leather Cabin Luggage Is Worth It
- Natural material: full grain leather is a natural cowhide material that develops a fine patina over time. Synthetic polyester and nylon tend to fray, split or look tired.
- Strong structure: high quality leather keeps its shape, which helps stay within published dimensions and protects what is inside.
- Made in Italy: every bag is handcrafted in Italy and hand finished, not mass produced. The build quality feels different in the hand from the first trip.
- Personal identity: have your initials embossed on the leather. It is practical in busy airports and it feels personal in a way no off the shelf cabin bag can match.
Investing in high quality Italian leather hand luggage from Maxwell Scott means choosing long term quality, quiet style and proper craftsmanship every time you fly.
