Called WaveBreakers, the luggage is vibrant and full of textures and intricate patterns: a style we've come to expect and love from the Australian designer and illustrator.

Different animals represent each of the travel modes and are camouflaged within layered botanical elements inviting us to explore and discover all the little details. "My art offers a sense of escapism and allows people to take a little art on holiday. The range might blend perfectly with your next tropical destination but you'll soon spot your luggage on the baggage carousel."

WaveBreakers by Shanti Sparrow for American Tourister is available in three sizes starting from 55cm. See the full collection at americantourister.at.
