Plume Collection: Lightness, Flexibility and Colour
The Plume collection is where the Lipault story begins. Crafted from our signature twill nylon with a subtly textured, slightly glossy finish, Plume suitcases have defined what lightweight, colourful luggage looks like for over a decade. They are flexible enough to absorb the bumps and knocks of travel without losing their shape, resilient enough to keep looking great trip after trip, and light enough to make a genuine difference to your airline weight allowance from the very first journey.
Every Journey Covered
- Cabin suitcase (55cm): compact, lightweight and sized to fit the overhead lockers on most airlines, ideal for short trips and carry-on travel.
- Medium trip suitcase (63cm): the versatile middle ground for trips of one to two weeks, generous enough to pack properly without being too large to handle.
- Long trip suitcase (70cm): for extended stays and longer adventures, with plenty of capacity for a full wardrobe and all the essentials.
- Very long trip suitcase (79cm): our most spacious Plume format, for family holidays, extended relocations or anyone who prefers to pack without limits.
Personalisation is available on all sizes, and our suitcase sets let you build a matched collection at a more favourable price.
A Palette That Starts the Journey
Colour is as much a part of Plume as the material itself. Our palette spans enduring Parisian classics alongside fresher seasonal additions, so there is always a shade that feels right for you at the right moment. Every colourway is designed to look just as good arriving at the destination as it did leaving home. For matching toiletry bags in the same Plume aesthetic, explore our Plume Accessories collection. And for bags and backpacks in the same twill nylon spirit, our City Plume collection extends the Plume aesthetic into everyday urban carry.
FAQ
What material is Plume luggage made from?
Plume luggage is crafted from our signature twill nylon, a fabric known for its lightness, flexibility and durability. The twill nylon has a subtly textured, slightly glossy finish that gives Plume suitcases their distinctive look. It is softer and lighter than most competing suitcase fabrics, which is one of the main reasons Plume suitcases consistently rank among the lightest available at their size. The material is also resistant to everyday wear and tear, maintaining its look well through frequent and intensive travel.
Is Plume luggage water-resistant?
Yes. The twill nylon fabric used in Plume luggage is water-resistant, offering good protection from light rain, splashes and the damp conditions that are a normal part of travel. This means your belongings stay protected in typical daily and travel conditions. It is not designed for submersion, but for everyday travel use the water-resistant properties of the twill nylon are reliable and well suited to the demands of frequent travel.
What colours are available in the Plume collection?
The Plume collection is available in a wide palette that spans enduring Parisian classics and fresher seasonal additions. You will find deep, timeless tones that stay in the range year after year, alongside newer shades and limited editions introduced regularly. Not every colour is available across every size, so the full colour selection for each model is shown on the individual product pages. New colourways are added each season, so it is worth checking back if you are looking for something specific.
How do I care for my Plume suitcase?
Plume needs very little to keep looking its best. A damp cloth with mild soap, worked in gentle circles, lifts everyday marks from the twill nylon, and the interior only wants a quick wipe to clear dust or debris after a trip. Leave the case open to air out once you are home. Avoid harsh chemicals, which can damage the fabric over time.
How does the Plume collection differ from Lost In Berlin and City Plume?
Plume is our iconic suitcase collection, focused entirely on lightweight twill nylon luggage with a wide Parisian colour palette. Lost In Berlin is our premium line, using a matte rubber effect material with metal elements for a more urban feel, and it covers a wider range of product categories including bags, backpacks and accessories. City Plume extends the Plume twill nylon aesthetic into bags and backpacks for everyday city use. And our Plume Accessories collection offers toiletry bags designed to match your Plume suitcase perfectly. If lightness and colour are your priorities and you are looking specifically for a suitcase, Plume is the right starting point.
