TL; DR – The Gulf carriers’ 2023 recycled-interior luggage release promptly sold out.
Last week, Emirates announced the release of its second limited edition collection of luggage made from upcycled aircraft interiors. Coined ‘Aircrafted by Emirates,’ the 2025 collection features three new trolley bag styles – the most popular item from the 2023 collection – two trendy backpack styles are also available, as well as two handbags.
Notably, most proceeds will be donated to children in need via the Emirates Airline Foundation.
Materials used to craft the collection come from the Emirates A380 and Boeing 777 planes, from a total of 63 retrofitted aircraft. Parts of the interior used in the collection include aluminium headrests, pure leather from First and Business Class seats, and the sofas in the A380 onboard lounge. The famed Emirates’ Captain seat is used to craft one of the handbags.
In case you’re worried about cleanliness, ‘all fabrics are freshly laundered in a facility, then further deep cleaned by hand, leather-conditioned, and thoroughly disinfected before being sewn into unique pieces. Brand new lining is added to the bags, along with functional zippers. Some bags even feature actual Emirates’ seatbelts as straps.’
You’ll want to act fast if you want to something! Most items have already sold out. As of this morning, a backpack is still available for sale on the online store for $200 or 40,000 Skywards Miles.
