Product
At VOCIER we pride ourselves on bringing a fresh take on the dusty luggage industry. We invented a completely new and easy to use system that helps keep your suit and shirts in perfect shape while you look your best. This is achieved by combining technological innovations with traditional craftsmanship and creating a new kind of luxury luggage that doesn’t fit into any normal category.
We are extremely particular about the high-quality, premium materials we use. Our products are handcrafted from the finest Italian leather, and highly durable yet lightweight plastic parts from Austria and Germany. Each plastic part of VOCIER luggage uses a type of plastic that best fits its purpose. For highly stressed parts we use a material from BASF, which is fiber-reinforced and impact resistant. This material is much stronger and tougher than conventional plastic parts, but also much more expensive. The metal parts are PVD-coated which makes them three times as expensive as conventional metal parts, but makes the color far more durable. We only use original YKK metal zippers for their machining precision and durability, and extensively use aluminum and magnesium in our lightweight construction. It all costs more, but the final product speaks for itself in design, quality, and durability.
Please read our guide on the best way to pack your VOCIER luggage. If you have any questions or feedback about your VOCIER product, please contact us.
The only difference between the C38/CP38 and F38 is in the materials we use for production. The materials we use for the F38 are sourced from a small family-run tannery in Tuscany, Italy. They have specialized since three generations in the finest and most durable Italian leathers. The hide comes from ethically-treated animals in Switzerland or France which are among the most luxurious hides once can purchase. The smooth metal zippers are from an YKK. They specialize in high-end zippers that are commonly used by the world’s most exclusive leather producers. Only the finest materials have been selected for this exquisite top of the range collection. The materials used for the C38/CP38 are a bit more functional (nylon is more tear resistant and lighter compared to leather). However, the trimmings are also done in the same, fine Italian leather. This could be your choice if you are more interested in lighter weight and easier care, however all of our products when treated carefully will last a lifetime. The C38 Pure is a lighter version of the C38.

Each of our suitcase models has a slightly different weight due to the dimensions and materials used. Please refer to each product page, where we provide this information and more!
Yes! The guideline for hand luggage is uniform worldwide: The defined dimension is the IATA dimension with 115 cm or 45 inch belt dimension. All VOCIER trolleys have the dimensions (LxWxH) 55 x 40 x 20 cm = 115 cm. Many VOCIER customers are frequent flyers who fly with all airlines around the world and take their VOCIER Trolley on board as cabin luggage without any problems. A special case are low-cost airlines like Ryanair who often have fare-based restrictions on carry-on luggage. In their "premium" booking classes, you can take the VOCIER Trolley on board, as it complies with the Ryanair dimensions. VOCIER hand luggage is welcome on scheduled airlines such as Lufthansa. You can recognize this by the fact that you can buy VOCIER in the Lufthansa Worldshop.
Customers sometimes ask how to pack shirts with Zero Crease. We generally recommend using the inside compartment, not in the wrinkle-free suit bag. The reason is that - while in principle shirts should do just as fine as suits - in practice their fabric is much thinner and lighter. As a result, it is very easy to misalign numerous shirts on top of each other while putting them on the hanger. This then may result in wrinkles. Numerous layers of fabric (such as when a shirt and suit are combined) may also result in too much volume, and thus too much pressure, which leads to wrinkling. We therefore recommend our customers to carry shirts in the inside compartment and use the suit bag for suits, or other wrinkle-free apparel.
We'd are happy to provide any additional accessories that you desire. Please contact us via support@vocier.com and we'll take care of you!
Packing suits and dresses is easy with VOCIER, and you can carry up to two of each, wrinkle-free. To carry two suits at the same time, place the sleeve of one jacket into sleeves of the outer jacket. Dresses can simply be placed one on top of the other. All our ZeroCrease carry-ons include a hanger on which your fine clothing can be packed, and then hung neatly at your destination.
Luggage cleaning on our nylon carry-on trolley (C38) is quite simple . You can just use a cotton cloth, and wipe your luggage with water. There should be no need for a cleaning agent. For cleaning and nourishing our leather F-Collection, we recommend Renovateur Luxury Leather Care by Saphir.
Absolutely not! While wrinkle-free apparel while traveling is what we're all about, we designed our luggage so that these compartments are optional depending on whether you're traveling for business or pleasure. Equally, our patented ZeroCrease™ concept works equally well for other apparel as it does for suits. Use ZeroCrease™ for sport coats, gowns, dresses, pant suits, and tuxedos.
