A Japanese Steel Company’s Beautiful Briefcase

A Japanese Steel Company’s Beautiful Briefcase

Konstella is a new brand of stylish carrying cases made by Japanese steel company Toyo Steel. The Osaka-based manufacturer specializes in utilitarian lightweight steel products like tool boxes and casters. So in some ways it’s surprising that something so stylish would come out of a company whose bread and butter is humble workday objects. But Toyo Steel actually has a history of utilizing their seamless engineering to merge the worlds of style and utility.

Will it be possible to use this as carry-on luggage?

I don't see why not. I assume though you will need to be prepared for extra thorough checks of your briefcase because it is so unusual at the airports.

This is... different. I mean I don't hate the look of it but it is not something I could see myself using either. I like that steel has history in Tokyo and they are utilizing that in fashion but still, not my cup of tea.
