Bulletproof Bag For Wannabe Spies
I’m not sure what kind of James Bond fantasies our Gizmodo readers/spies harbour but if it’s combined with an obsession for expensive clothing, then the last thing you’ll want are evil secret agent bullets blowing your luggage and, those Gucci loafers inside, all to hell. That’s why you need the bulletproof case from Globe-Trotter, designed by well-known UK industrial designer Ross Lovegrove (iMac and those sexy KEF Muon speakers). The Air Cabin certainly looks the business, and weighs just 3lbs thanks to its use of lightweight ‘triaxial carbon/Kevlar composites’.You really can picture Daniel Craig legging it through some airport, shielding some ridiculously-named totty from a hail of gunfire with this bag. The luggage company designed the special case to commemorate 110 years of making luggage for travellers. Things must have changed if bulletproof materials are now de rigueur. The case will hit the catwalk next month at the New York Fashion Week and, while designed to withstand gunfire, it will still blow a hole in your own wallet to the tune of £1,750. Ouch! I’ll just take my chances with my three year old rucksack. It might not stop a shell from Desert Eagle .50, but it’s good in the rain which, at least this summer, is posing a bigger threat than gun-toting secret agents in Heathrow. But only just.-Martin Lynch [Bornrich] travel spy guns design
