The Observer collection aims to encourage travel by imparting a perpetual feeling of home through style & ritual.

Functionally and stylistically, The Observer Collection reflects on a lifetime of travel, from austere military campaigns to the height of luxury, while constantly looking forward to a world where the creative elite travel continuously.

The Observer Collection is for those who travel well & often.
