Suitpack – Business attire on the move
In spite of rising fuel costs, congestion and time associated with the average drive to work, CDP found that carrying business attire in a compact, crease free manner is among the greatest perceived barriers to adopting more sustainable forms of commuter transport.
The design process was challenged by the apparently conflicting needs of garment protection, and minimized weight and size.
Starting with core user needs and insights, then research and testing, CDP worked through a iterative prototype path to develop an elegant, lightweight luggage solution which protects and supports expensive office clothing.
A novel configuration of soft compartments and bolsters, dimensionally optimised and integrated into a lightweight compact shell structure enabling protected transportation of everything required for the office day.
Suitpack transforms into a convenient changing station so you can quickly and easily exchange commuting gear for work wear in the shower room.
And it’s not just cyclists who will benefit from Suitpack. Budget flights and the Eurostar means that much of Europe is now close enough for short trips, and frequent meetings abroad. The Suitpack is within hand luggage dimensions as so can avoid baggage check in and is therefore ideal for short business trips.
