The Idea

I live and work in Central London and go almost everywhere on foot.  Like a lot of us these days, I found I was constantly lugging heavy bags around town - from my laptop and work accessories, through to sports gear and last minute shopping on the way home; travelling light was never an option and I was beginning to suffer from back and neck problems too.

It was a work trip to LA that got me thinking.  I bought a new suitcase with spinner wheels and couldn’t believe how easy it was to move around.  I vowed never to pull a case behind me again and wondered if I could somehow use wheels like these to lighten the load that I was carrying with me on a daily basis.

So I came up with the design for a wheeled top-opening bag, asked my father (a retired architect) to draw a prototype for development and the FARINO Carrier was born.

The Plan

The FARINO Carrier was designed to take the weight off the city dweller’s shoulders – literally.  It is the world’s first ever carrier on 360 spinner wheels, that is top-loading and The Getaway carry on (our travel bag) is also suitable as hand luggage on most international airlines.

Made from stylish, weatherproof neoprene, it is contemporary and perfect for all aspects of 'city life on the go'.  The Getaway carry on (our travel and work bag) has a secure laptop pocket, whilst The Local (our shopper) is taller with more capacity for your shopping - both have 360 spinner wheels (originally manufactured for rollerblades) which are designed to take the weight of a human and render just about any load virtually weightless - no more back pain 🤗

The Result

The FARINO Carrier.  It is tough, practical and enviably chic - soon you’ll wonder how you ever got around without one!
