VOCIER Wrinkle-Free Luggage is a Business Traveler’s Best Friend

By Mike Richard Jun 4, 2021 7:14 AM

“Wrinkle-free” is rivaled only by “all-inclusive” as one of the travel industry’s most over-promised — and under-delivered — selling points.

New luggage systems are launched on Kickstarter on a weekly basis. Many aim to solve the wrinkle dilemma, but most lack any real innovation. European luggage manufacturer VOCIER promises to solve the wrinkled clothing “epidemic” with a system that’s altogether different than anything we’ve seen before. Their collection isn’t cheap but if, like us, you’re willing to spend more for quality gear, it may be the last luggage you ever buy.

Conventional wisdom states that rolling your clothing is better than folding to minimize the pressure/crease points that encourage wrinkling. VOCIER’s two luggage lines — simply “C” and “F” — feature a unique, Formula 1 engine-inspired structure that wraps your garments around a central sleeve eliminating wrinkles entirely. The patented Zero-Crease technology is one of the best and most clever we’ve ever seen. The interior is simple, streamlined, and adapts to almost any packing scenario with a single, removable clothing compartment. For trips when business attire or a suit isn’t necessary, this allows for even more space inside the bag.

VOCIER manages to pack a handful of additional clever features into a tiny form factor. A hidden, nearly invisible storage pocket is built into the handle for quick, convenient access to travel essentials — a passport, airline tickets, and other small items. Hooks built into the handle also serve as a valet stand to guarantee there’s always a place to hang your coat. PVC-coated YKK zippers, rich Italian leather, and a soft, durable, Viscose-lined interior all afford a sense of luxury and sophistication.

To be clear, this isn’t your grandpappy’s American Tourister luggage. Premium gear packs a premium price tag. The “entry-level” C38 carry-on starts at almost $600 (USD), while their flagship leather F38 is nearly $1,200. A variety of full bundles is available with matching Dopp kits, laptop portfolios, and briefcases. Although, with that sky-high price point comes free worldwide shipping, a 100-day return policy, and they’ll even pay all the import duties and taxes for you.

Copenhagen: Five days in Scandinavia’s most livable city

City, Architecture, Building

Some trips spend years on your wish list before they finally happen. Copenhagen was one of those destinations for us. We had talked about visiting Denmark for years, drawn by its reputation for clean design, remarkable quality of life, and a city where bicycles outnumber automobiles. When we finally spent five summer days there in 2026, we discovered something even better. Copenhagen isn’t just attractive—it is remarkably easy to enjoy. Everything works. Public transportation is outstanding, the harbor is alive with boats, the food is excellent, and almost every neighborhood feels welcoming, safe, and effortlessly stylish. And, in the summer, everyone is living outside and basking in the sun. This was reinforced for us when my wife chatted with an American woman who had spent the last four summers in the city with her family. She felt that it was both an exciting change from suburban America but also safe enough to give their kids a longer leash than they would at home.

If you’re thinking about a first visit, here’s what stood out.

Copenhagen was just named the world’s most livable city. After spending half my year here, I’m not surprised.

Copenhagen

Every few months, I swap Ohio for Copenhagen.

For roughly five or six months of the year, Denmark’s capital becomes home. My boyfriend lives here, which means I’ve had the rare opportunity to experience Copenhagen beyond the typical long weekend itinerary. I’ve settled into routines that make the city feel familiar, from stopping by Netto for groceries to grabbing what I still maintain is the best cinnamon roll I’ve ever had from Lagkagehuset. I’ve spent warm afternoons swimming at Ofelia Plads and Nordhavn, wandered through neighborhoods that rarely make first-time visitor guides, and discovered that some of the city’s best moments happen when there’s no plan at all.
