FORMER and Db Luggage, two brands with a shared passion for functional design and global exploration, have teamed up to launch a limited-edition luggage capsule arriving Thursday October 23 2025. The collaboration brings together three of Db’s best-in-class travel silhouettes merged with FORMER’s distinct, art-driven visual language.<br /><br />Born from a shared appreciation for the journey, whether that’s long-haul flights across oceans or last minute missions to a new city, the collection of luggage is built to be thrashed, not just be packed. Each piece features an all over yardage pulled from FORMER’s extensive graphic archive and reimagined as a unique mosaic print made from past collections. A design that’s original, personal, and timeless.
