The Story Behind London Fog Luggage

The Story Behind London Fog Luggage

Few travel brands carry the kind of confidence that London Fog does. For almost a century, the name has been associated with timeless style, practical design and an ability to stand up to whatever the journey throws at you. 

While many people first discovered London Fog through its iconic outerwear, the same heritage and attention to detail now runs through its luggage collections too.

London Fog luggage is built on the same principles that made the brand famous in the first place: durability, thoughtful design and a sense of style that never feels dated. It’s heritage luggage, made for modern travel.

From Weather Protection to Travel Companion

Before picking specific cases, it’s worth thinking about how your family actually travels, rather than what looks good online.

London Fog’s story begins in 1923 in Baltimore, Maryland, where it was founded as the Londontown Clothing Company. Originally focused on producing durable outerwear, the brand rose to prominence during World War II, when it supplied waterproof coats to the U.S. Navy. 

Function came first, garments had to perform in demanding conditions, but style was never an afterthought. That balance of function and refinement became London Fog’s signature.

In the decades that followed, the brand continued to innovate. By the 1950s, London Fog had introduced one of the first commercially successful water-repellent coats, using advanced fabric treatments that set it apart from competitors. 

The now-iconic trench coat soon followed, becoming a wardrobe staple and a symbol of understated, practical elegance. 

As the brand grew through the 1960s and 70s, London Fog expanded beyond outerwear into accessories and travel goods, including luggage. It was a natural evolution. 

After all, the same people who trusted London Fog to protect them from the elements also wanted luggage they could rely on while moving through the world.

A Brand Built on Trust and Longevity

Over the years, London Fog has changed hands, but its core identity has remained intact. 

Today, the brand is owned by Iconix Brand Group, a company that specialises in stewarding heritage brands with strong emotional recognition. Under Iconix’s ownership, London Fog continues to evolve while staying rooted in its original values.

That’s what makes London Fog travel luggage stand out in a crowded market. It isn’t trend-led or flashy. Instead, it focuses on classic luggage design, practical construction and details that make travelling feel calmer and more considered.

This sense of continuity, of a brand that knows who it is, is what gives London Fog luggage its appeal today.

London Fog Luggage: Heritage Made Practical

Modern travel demands more than good looks alone. London Fog luggage is designed to work hard, whether you’re navigating busy terminals, packing for a longer holiday or fitting everything into a cabin-friendly case.

  • Across its ranges, you’ll find recurring design principles:
  • Lightweight construction that’s easy to handle
  • Designed with flexibility in mind for easy, practical packing.
  • Smooth-glide wheels for effortless movement
  • Secure zip systems designed for peace of mind
  • Interiors that prioritise organisation and usability
  • Timeless design that suits both business trips and holidays

It’s classic luggage, updated for how we travel now.

Spotlight on the London Fog Camberley Collection

One of the clearest expressions of London Fog’s heritage-with-heart approach is the Camberley luggage range. It blends traditional design cues with modern functionality, creating suitcases that feel refined without being precious.

London Fog Camberley - Medium, Large & Cabin Sizes

The Camberley range is instantly recognisable thanks to its Prince of Wales plaid exterior, a subtle nod to classic British tailoring. It’s timeless, distinctive and refreshingly different from the sea of plain hard shells.

Key features include:

  • Soft-sided Prince of Wales plaid polyester construction
  • Lightweight feel with practical flexibility
  • Branded telescopic handle with locking push button
  • 4 smooth-glide spinner wheels for easy movement
  • Interlocking zip pullers, compatible with padlocks
  • Fully lined interior with organisational pockets and gold-finish hardware

Available in multiple sizes, including an extra small underseat case, medium and large, the Camberley collection works beautifully for everything from short breaks to longer trips where you want luggage that feels considered and dependable.

London Fog Camberley - Extra Small Underseat Case

For travellers who want the same classic styling in a more compact format, the Camberley Extra Small suitcase offers a refined under-seat option.

With exterior dimensions of H 38.5cm × W 35cm × D 20cm (including wheels and handle), it’s designed to be cabin-friendly while still offering the structure and organisation you’d expect from London Fog.

Key Features include:

  • Soft-sided plaid polyester exterior
  • Lightweight build, ideal for short trips
  • 2 smooth-glide wheels for easy handling
  • Locking telescopic handle
  • Interlocking zips suitable for padlocks 
  • Fully lined interior with practical pockets

It’s proof that heritage luggage doesn’t have to feel heavy or old-fashioned, even at its smallest size.

Why London Fog Still Matters Today

In a world of fast trends and disposable products, London Fog represents something rarer: longevity with purpose. The brand’s move into travel luggage wasn’t about chasing fashion cycles, but about extending its philosophy into a new part of everyday life.

London Fog travel luggage appeals to people who value:

  • Classic luggage design over short-term trends
  • Practical features that genuinely make travel easier
  • A brand with history, credibility and restraint

It’s heritage luggage for travellers who appreciate things that are built to last, both in style and construction.

Heritage With Heart, Ready for the Journey Ahead

From its beginnings supplying weatherproof coats to the U.S. Navy, to becoming a global name in classic outerwear and travel accessories, London Fog’s story is one of quiet evolution rather than reinvention.

That same story is written into its luggage today.

If you’re looking for travel luggage that blends timeless style with modern practicality, London Fog offers something reassuringly familiar, and reliably well-made, for every journey.
