About Tanner Krolle

 1 2 3
 
The end of World War I saw the growth of international travel and the introduction of the great luxury ocean liners. Wealthy overseas customers travelling through Europe would commission huge fleets of luggage on their first stop in London, sometimes even taking extra hotel suites for storage. In 1933, a commission from an American heiress consisted of 58 pieces, including train cases for cosmetics and perfume, large suitcases, special cases for shoes and numerous wardrobe trunks for gowns, furs and lingerie — each monogrammed.
 
By the 1950s, with post-war optimism building and air travel growing, travel goods underwent profound changes. As wealth became more widely distributed, travel came within the reach of more and more people and to these new travellers luggage became a matter of pride and status. Tanner Krolle’s range of lightweight green canvas and leather luggage reflected this new demand.. Revolutionary for the time, these bags are still made today and are regularly brought in for restoration by the grandchildren of the original owners.
 
Tanner Krolle is honoured to continue to accept commissions from style icons and royal households across the world. Diana, Princess of Wales, travelled extensively using Tanner Krolle luggage, later commissioning school trunks for Princes William and Harry. One of our largest commissions came from Saudi Arabia’s late King Fahd bin Abdul Azziz Al Saud.
 
Every Tanner Krolle piece is designed and built to meet the tests of time. Whether we are crafting for prime ministers, presidents, prestigious corporations or the discerning individual, the quality of our craftsmanship, materials and services is paramount.
 
No matter how large or small, each commission we receive is treated with the utmost respect.
