Pierre Cardin: Creations for Everyone

When Pierre Cardin moved to France in 1944 and began his career as a fashion illustrator at the House of Paquin, he could hardly have imagined that his name would one day become one of the most avant-garde and iconic brands in the country. However, shortly after starting as a designer at Christian Dior in 1947, he launched his own company in 1950. From there, it was a steady rise. The first collection was released in 1953 and was a complete success.

Product Designs Cover Almost the Entire Consumer Goods Sector

Most of us probably associate Pierre Cardin with women's or men's fashion, and you may be one of them. While this is not wrong, one of the unique features of the company is its versatility. In fact, Pierre Cardin covers nearly the entire consumer goods sector. Since its inception, the brand has produced, among other things:

• Wristwatches
• Car interiors
• Bedding
• Cutlery
• Luggage
• Furniture
• Record players
• Space suits

Given this broad range, it’s no surprise that Pierre Cardin offers something for everyone’s taste. This is not only due to the variety of products but also to the innovative designs and materials. Despite the high quality, there are also products sold at affordable prices, appealing to a wide audience. This is also true for luggage items like Pierre Cardin suitcases and Pierre Cardin bags. Even Pierre Cardin luggage sets often cost less than comparable sets from pure luggage brands, despite their high quality.

Pierre Cardin Suitcases

Pierre Cardin hard-shell suitcases are almost all made from the amorphous thermoplastic plastic ABS, which is known for its chemical resistance, thermal stability, and high impact resistance. They feature a well-thought-out layout to ensure easy packing. On the one hand, there is a zipper compartment for better organization, and on the other hand, a laundry compartment for more order and stability. For comfortable transport, four smooth-rolling wheels are included. These wheels are present in all Pierre Cardin suitcases.

Pierre Cardin Luggage Sets

If you don't want to buy a single Pierre Cardin suitcase but are looking for a set for the whole family, we have good news for you. The brand offers a wide range of three-piece sets. All sets include a small, medium, and large trolley. As always, the brand showcases stylish and versatile designs. While only solid-colored models are available, they all feature an attractive pattern that sets them apart from other suitcases. Available colors include blue, red, black, and white, for example.

Pierre Cardin Bags

Pierre Cardin offers rolling travel bags, which fulfill all the criteria of a suitcase but are essentially still bags. Despite their high volume of around 80 to 90 liters, they can be easily transported using the adjustable handle. In addition to large travel bags, there are also smaller ones that serve as cabin baggage. Unlike the company’s suitcases, the travel bags generally do not feature patterns. They are made from solid-colored polyester in various colors such as brown, yellow, or gray.

A Pioneer of the Licensing Business

Few may know that Pierre Cardin was one of the first influential fashion designers to license his name to various licensees. Even today, this concept is not widely adopted by all luggage brands. This can be seen in successful brands such as Bric’s and Delsey Paris, which only appear as proprietary brands. In any case, the licensing business was very successful. According to the brand, Pierre Cardin created around one hundred designs for his clients every year. He even designed uniforms for the Chinese army, police, and postal service.
