Briggs & RileyÃ¢â¬â¢s Travelware being sold in BloomingdaleÃ¢â¬â¢s

In a first, Briggs & Riley’s Travelware is being introduced into nationwide stores.

"The long term partnership includes the debut of Briggs & Riley brand shops at Bloomingdale’s San Francisco and flagship 59th Street location in New York, as well as ecommerce distribution on Bloomingdales.com in early 2010," says a press release.

Consumers can find over 30 styles from Briggs & Riley’s Baseline and Transcend Luggage collections including wheeled luggage, carry-ons, and rolling cases.

"Briggs & Riley products are renowned for the company’s lifetime performance guarantee that even covers airline damage and the Outsider® Handle System that ensures a perfectly flat packing area and greater room inside the bag so garments stay wrinkle-free," says a release.

Briggs & Riley’s newly updated luggage collection is up to 30 percent lighter while maintaining maximum durability and functionality, the company says.

Said Richard Krulik, CEO of Briggs:

"This partnership will enable our customers across the US to easily find Briggs & Riley products with expert help so that they can identify the right product that meets their travel needs."

Bloomingdales’, a division of Macy’s Inc., was founded in 1872 and currently operates in 40 stores.
