The Bellagio Collection by Bric’s is a perfect example of our philosophy; “Create elegant, functional travel bags that are good looking, and include all practical function and modern amenities demanded by today’s traveler.”

The Bojola Collection is handcrafted using durable, easy to clean, embossed leather-like PVC with vegetable tanned leather trimmings. This collection is offered in a signature Cream color way. BRIC'S Bojola offers an assortment of travel items that look good and travel even better. The interior lining features a Bric’s logo jacquard print that is also water-proof. This tri-fold travel kit is the ultimate cosmetic carrying case. Store all your grooming needs neatly and together.

The Life Collection is handcrafted using durable, easy to clean, sueded PVC and trimmed with full grain Tuscan leather.

BRIC'S Magellano is an elegant, handsome collection of travel bags, carry-ons, and business cases. Every Italian designed bag is constructed using durable, waterproof, stain resistant PVC and trimmed in classic black full grain Tuscan leather.

BRIC'S Pelle Collection, handcrafted out of the finest full-grain, vegetable tanned Tuscan leather includes cabin-sized spinners, cargo duffels, wheeled pilot cases and shoppers.  PELLE is offered in Natural Cognac, Espresso and Classic Black.

BRIC'S Pronto is an unbelievably lightweight travel bag collection that includes 4-wheel spinners, rolling duffels, and cargo bags.  Crafted using heavy gauge "FORTE" nylon that resists tears and punctures, is easy to clean and is abrasion resistant.

The entire X-Bag line is based on the concept of transformability and function. Thanks to its new shapes, patterns and refined details, it will be the must have fashion accessory. Bric’s X-Bag X-Travel stands for convenience in everyday life, a fashionable assortment of travel bags that you can trust.

We thought you might like to know what our customers say about us :)

"I usually do not need to see something before I buy it. However, I am VERY glad I did in the case of the luggage I purchased in Manhattan last year, because I didn't buy what I thought I'd prefer before seeing them in person.

ShopAround recommended Hides in Shape to me last year.

I spent 2 hours in their huge downstairs "basement" with an exceptionally nice sales person, Joe Burgess, comparing every detail of every brand of 29" lightweight hardshell. 

I left > $1000 lighter and + 2 new pieces of luggage that I LOVE.

I just found the text file on my hard drive I wrote up to post on the flight home comparing the features of all the models I considered, but search doesn't turn it up. hmmm maybe I wasn't sure where to post - here or in Luggage forum or maybe I thought it was too long and who would care if anyone wants to read it i can post it there I guess (in luggage forum)

In any event, they had a huge inventory downstairs of all the latest models I wanted to lay hands on."
