Sterling Pacific Offer Up New Standard in Luxury Aluminium Luggage

Sterling Pacific redefines high-end travel gear with its meticulously crafted full-aluminum travel cases. Manufactured from reinforced 5000 series aluminum and die-cast A383 aluminum, each case is built with durability and longevity in mind, setting a new benchmark for premium luggage.

Key to the design is the brand’s patented Impact Bearing Ridges (USPTO patent no. US-D988723-S), positioned on the front and back of the cases to provide enhanced impact resistance. Complementing the rugged construction are full-grain Italian leather handles, sourced from an independent tannery in Chiampo, a town in Italy’s Veneto region renowned for its leather craftsmanship.

Sterling Pacific distinguishes itself further by offering true full-aluminum construction. Unlike many aluminum luggage manufacturers who incorporate plastic components, Sterling Pacific uses aluminum not only for the case body and reinforced corners but also for the wheel housings, trolley housing, and trolley handles — ensuring unmatched strength and a seamless aesthetic.

The concept for Sterling Pacific’s no-compromise travel cases began in 2019, with the first production batch becoming available in 2021. Cases are produced in small batches in carefully supervised contract factories in China, ensuring obsessive attention to detail tailored for frequent flyers, pilots, and aluminum luggage enthusiasts.

The brand’s heritage traces back to 1907, when Richard and Carl Otto Herz founded R Herz & Bro, Inc., a jewelry and watch business in Reno, Nevada. Sterling Pacific honors the Herz family’s pioneering spirit and commitment to excellence, evolving from their legacy to offer products that embody the same dedication to craftsmanship and quality.

Following its acquisition by brand developer Galton Voysey in 2018, Sterling Pacific reemerged with a modern vision: combining traditional craftsmanship with robust, innovative design to meet the demands of today’s discerning travelers.

Today, Sterling Pacific stands as a testament to timeless design, rugged functionality, and the enduring spirit of adventure.
