The Tusting by India Hicks travel bags collection comprises three styles from mini-sized up to extra large with Sail being an oversized carryall, Soleil an everyday tote and Snatch a top handled small bag. The latter is infused with the romance of train or steamer travel. The collection is designed in a way so that each can nest into the next for easy transportation as travelling is back to normal
They come in leather and thick cotton drill with a distinct orange-red liming inspired by a flame tree in full bloom from Hicks’ Bahamian garden. The washable drill comes from Ireland where she used to spend her summers.
The linings are also coated to be water-resistant (so they’re able to deal with almost anything from bunches of flowers to a puppy or a damp towel) and a discreet hand-stitched cross is the mark of the collaboration. It’s the only branding visible from the outside.
Each of the bags is hand-made in the firm’s UK workshop and numbered in Hicks’ handwriting. Personal initials or messages can also be embossed onto the bags.
