Wrinkled suits, flimsy bags, and the struggle to travel light while looking sharp.

A good garment bag solves this.

In our (slightly biased) opinion, the best garment bag for business travel is the "Grand Leather Garment Bag" by Von Baer, and below we'll show you why.

First, some stats and images:

Did you know? Alan Ritchson (yes, "Reacher" himself) loves our Grand bag. See what he said to GQ magazine below:

Still Arriving With Wrinkled Suits? Here's the Real Reason It Keeps Happening

von baer grand high quality large full grain leather garment travel bag for professionals

man holding the grand in black by the top handles and shoulder strap

You’ve tried folding your blazer "just right."

Maybe you've even rolled garments like travel blogs told you. Yet your suit still needs ironing the minute you unzip the bag.

Why?

Because most so-called garment bags compress clothing rather than protect it.

The Grand Leather Garment Bag was engineered with a dedicated zippered garment section, reinforced by a removable hanger and hook.

Unlike loosely-structured alternatives, its structured compartment maintains form and reduces pressure on your tailored items. The interior uses fine Italian cotton canvas-not slippery synthetics that bunch and crease-keeping garments flat, dry, and pristine.

When the hotel iron becomes optional, you know you're carrying the right bag.

If a bag doesn’t eliminate wrinkles, it’s not solving your most fundamental need - next, let’s talk about juggling multiple bags.

Still Carrying Two Bags Just to Look Presentable? It’s Probably Time for a Smarter Layout

It’s frustrating: your weekender can’t hold a suit without folding it three times. Your garment bag can’t hold anything but the suit.

You wind up hauling both-while watching carry-on-only travelers breeze through boarding.

The Grand solves this cleanly. Its 2-in-1 garment + weekender design houses both formalwear and essentials in one organized structure. A spacious central cavity fits shoes, toiletries, and devices, while dedicated pockets keep chargers and accessories neatly divided. The suit carrier is hidden inside the lining, so it doesn't take up space in the main compartment.

Dimensions (55x33x25cm) keep it carry-on compliant, even with a fully loaded suit inside.

You don’t need to choose between smart packing and smart presentation-you need both in one.

When one bag solves the problem of two, you're not just packing better-you're moving smarter. But what about looking the part?

Your Travel Bag Is Talking Before You Do-Is It Saying the Right Thing?

Picture this: you’re stepping into a pitch meeting, and your carry-on is nylon, fraying at the seams, with rattling plastic zippers. It clashes with the suit you paid good money for.

Status isn’t loud. It’s in full-grain vegetable-tanned Italian leather, developed in family-owned Tuscan studios. The Grand’s leather tells a story-thicker than corrected hides, untreated by harsh chemicals, and designed to patina over time, just like quality boots or watches. Paired with solid brass hardware from Lombardy, the overall feel is unmistakably confident.

Three carefully considered shades-Solid Brown, Classic Tan, and Elegant Black-offer quiet authority in any setting, from boardrooms to black cars.

When the quality of your gear matches the quality of your work, every entrance is more intentional.

If you're dressing to impress, your bag needs to do more than follow along-it needs to lead. Now, will it last?

Worn Down After One Business Trip? That’s Not a Luxury Bag

Style matters. But performance keeps you from shopping again next year. Most upscale-looking travel bags wear out fast because they’re made for aesthetics, not endurance.

The Grand doesn’t compromise: handcrafted in Northern Italy, it uses Cuoio Superiore full-grain leather-a premium tier above generic leather blends. Every seam is double-stitched. Every zipper is Italian Texxi® brass, selected for tensile strength. Inside? Natural cotton lining, not plastic-based filler that tears under stress.

It weighs just 2.3 kg (4.6 lbs)-solid but manageable-thanks to the balance of robust hardware and smart design.

When you're traveling hard, the tools you bring should keep pace-not become problems.

A premium bag shouldn’t be gentle-it should handle hard travel without showing it. That brings us to the small but meaningful extras.

Feel Like Your Bag Wasn’t Made for You? Then It Probably Wasn’t

Von Baer Grand Large Full-Grain Leather Garment Travel Bag (Tan, Luxury, Man Carrying, Sunset)

Even beautiful luggage can feel generic. A luxury bag should feel like yours, not like everyone else's at Gate C17.

The Grand offers complimentary blind embossing of initials on a signature luggage tag-a subtle but personal imprint. Orders ship gift-ready, enclosed in handmade cotton dust bags, perfect for storing and aging the leather properly. No discounts, no seasonal promos-because the product isn’t seasonal. It’s never on sale, not because it’s overpriced, but because it’s already exactly what it should be.

Ownership means more when it feels earned, not mass-assigned.

When you're buying once, not often, personalization becomes less about style-and more about belonging.

Summary of What Matters (and What Doesn’t)

Skip the guesswork. This isn’t about the most "feature-packed" bag. It’s about the one that:

  • Prevents wrinkles-with a real garment structure.

  • Consolidates gear-with 2-in-1 design that meets airline size limits.

  • Signals success-with thick Italian full-grain leather and brass.

  • Holds up over time-through craftsmanship, not marketing claims.

  • Feels personal-through details that speak only to you.

When you’re flying for work, status isn’t about being flashy-it’s about not having to explain. The Grand Leather Garment Bag speaks for you.
