THE BRAND FOR MODERN TRAVEL: FLOYD

Founded in 2019, Floyd has established itself as a brand that captures the modern spirit of travel by crafting unique and distinctive travel equipment. Although the founders, Munich-based skateboarders Bernd Georgi and Horst Kern, grew up inspired by the Californian lifestyle and skateboard culture of the early 1970s, they never experienced it firsthand. Nevertheless, they transformed their passion into a successful career.
Today, after gaining professional experience worldwide, Georgi and Kern bring together skateboard culture and the essence of travel in their luggage designs. Each piece features a lightweight and durable aluminium outer shell and sturdy wheels inspired by the iconic skateboard wheels. With a focus on both functionality and style, Floyd´s range includes a variety of travel bags and accessories that carry on the spirit of California in the 70s.
