Bullet-proof luggage which can be used as a ‘defence shield in the event of an assault’ is going on sale exclusively in London, with prices starting from £4,195.


The limited-edition TecknoMonster’s Kasor range is protected by dark grey carbon fibre shells inspired by technology from the aviation and space industries, and is made with ‘dangerous travel’ in mind.


Customised ‘indestructible’ bullet-proof panels can be added to ensure the cases are ‘totally unassailable’.

Inside features hand-stitched safety straps and leather handles on the aluminum rod pull bar and a patented high-sealing rubber to protect the zip.


The range, which will be exclusively available in Harrods in London from April, comprises a set of three, four-wheel trolley cases, with luxury quilted leather interior linings in black and orange, and a cabin case.


Prices for the smallest piece of luggage start at £4,195.


On its website, TechnoMonster, which is based in Italy, says: ‘TKSS means TecknoMonster Security System. It is a system of bullet-proof panels which can be installed on the trolley on request.


‘TecknoMonster TKSS bullet-proof panels are designed for customers travelling in dangerous areas during their business trips. 


‘On

the one hand, TecknoMonster trolleys can be used as a defense shield in

the event of an assault, and on the other, the bullet-proof panel

protects the trolley contents and make them unassailable.

‘It is therefore crucial for the protection of sensitive data, whether they are on paper or on electronic devices.’


The company adds on its promotional material that the bullet-proof Kevlar panels are like those used by the Army.


CEO of Case Luggage, Stephen Spitz, who sourced the TecknoMonster range from Italy, said: ‘The addition of optional bullet proof panels ensures that these cases are totally unassailable. 


‘They are designed for travellers to dangerous areas and can be used for dual purpose protection – as a defence shield and to protect sensitive data, either on paper or electronic devices such as laptops.


‘When you are away on frequent business trips, your luggage becomes your home so space-saving, lightweight luggage is vital, as is reliability, practicality and security. 


‘The Kasor range by TecknoMonster offers all these elements and more. As a symbol of excellence, they are sure to become icons of premium luggage.’

I agree. I use a huge hold all now (2kg) because my suitcase weighed 6kg.

If you need bullet proof luggage you’re choosing the wrong destinations.

I don’t think I’d fit in one of those if someone started shooting at me; and besides would you have time to empty it?
