About the Altynai Project

Good evening everyone!

Train Ride Editorials The Marie Claire UK 'Orient Express' Photoshoot

To start this blog, I would like to tell you a little bit about the project 'Altynai' and how it reached to the current stage. At the moment I am a fourth year fashion marketing student, and Altynai Travel Accessories is an outcome of intensive research. 

After studying current luxury accessories market and discussing the subject with industry professionals, it became clear that there is a potential product gap for luxury travel accessories. Looking back at the European lifestyle two or three centuries ago, travel was predominant in the royal and aristocratic society only. They have travelled on specially designated horse-driven carriages, and later by train, and had their personal belongings moved in beautifully crafted wooden or leather cases. 

Now however, the art of the craftsmanship & handwork of the past became less and less visible in luxury travel market of today.  Brands such as Louis Vuitton and Globe Trotter do express the historical values of ‘nécessaire de voyage', but following globalisation designers gained access to crafts of foreign, less-discovered cultures, which are rarely present in the current market.

Therefore, Altynai - is a luxury travel accessories brand, that is iconic for its design and pattern inspired by different cultures. Each collection is hand-made from the best-quality leathers and fabrics. All of the products are supplied with GPS, and send the exact location to a mobile app.

 Keep an eye for the further development of the project!

With love,

Altynay
