We spend a significant portion of our lives in working environmets or in formal surroundings. TheSuitcase explores the moments of our life where we need more shelter and a shield of formality the enables us women to function as persons . The items are designed in mind of different lifestyles and wardrobes carrying a femminine note in their core , without exaggeration.
As many traveller friends have described the Marches region is a " crude and honest beauty with an unusual resistant spirit to maintain it's traditions". This simplicity and shelterd way of existence overhelms single outbeats of appearence. Visitors find themselves calming down becoming part of the landscape and local life.
To let new ideas make their mark in the collections we need to set boundaries according to our resources. At the same time once-in-a-lifetime treasures come alive in collaboration with the most inspiring weaving experts in Italy and Europe. Our compositions are primarily natural fiber mixes , except when made for specific functions , which we always will highlight for you.
This particular spot in Italy was where artisans generously shared their knowledge and experience with Agnes Kemeny , founder of TheSuitcase. Each piece added integrates new insights achieved by working side by side with the makers and following through the entire design an production process.
Rural life is a blend of beauty and challenge. TheSuitcase captures these atmospheres by weaving together textures, colours, and shapes, distilling them into a unique essence. In rural settings, boundaries play a crucial role, as resources are limited and must be managed with care. This approach differs from the concept of circular consumption, focusing instead on creativity within the confines of these limits that is applied in mind of the Longterm.
This journey starts with a choice at age 13 : choosing to learn the Italian language and experiencing Italian culture, constructing a life from scratch in Italy, earning the degree in fashion design , working for high-end companies first in Milan , and later collaborating with family enterprises and local factories. It's about slowly connecting the dots of a three-decade life experience. It is not about " Made in Italy " ; it is " Making while living in Italy ".
Our planet is our home, a sentiment deeply rooted in the founder, grewing up immersed in multiple cultures. The feeling of being constantly on travel , the need of flexibility and having to rely often on limited resources affect the aesthetics and influences the choices how the collection evolves. The items enclose the colours of the natural landscape and memories , like souvenirs from your summer vacations. Discover more
TheSuitcase is a reflection of countless fresh starts, numerous lifestyle changes, and many city moves, all while juggling a little car and too many belongings. It’s a nod to valuing thoughtful curation and creative smartness over endless decluttering. For busy souls mastering the art of balance, it's about spending less time on wardrobe issues and more on uplifting the spirit through little changes instead.
" We would like to be all different , and this is why we are all the same ."
( Oscar Wild )
What we are truly unique in is our life path wich we often ignore as a individual process. We don't want to be put in a box , we would like to choose ourselves where to belong. This makes us meet again , in our freedom of personal expression. TheSuitcase explores silent design to offer you maximum freedom of styling according to your vision. We design , You refine.
This is the mascot of the workshop, based in the Marches: the first industrial machine inherited from a family-owned factory where it sewed the labels of Italy's most famous brands. It is a reminder of longevity through shared knowledge and collaboration.
TheSuitcase is located in a region with many active factories and workshops. This setup allows us to source components and machine parts with short delivery distances, which is increasingly rare today. We appreciate the practical advantages this local network provides for our operations.
Especially during the low season, when the cold winds sweep across the Adriatic Sea, a unique festive atmosphere begins to emerge. It evokes the scenes captured in countless paintings created by famous italian painters , among them some names born in Pesaro-Urbino . Nature weaves its presence into everyday life, offering a perfect balm for the soul and an invitation to "listen" to the view.
The most intriguing topics to study is the alteration of conventional shapes: the world between fitted and unisex seems infinite when movement steps onto the scene. Comfort depends on our personal sense of how we feel day after day . Check out our Size Guide in advance .
The guides are the light, the climate , and your feedback. Design is Applied Arts: always specific, always aiming to solve different problems for small, different groups in an elegant way. And if one of these pieces becomes your favorite, our mission is complete.

The road to achieving complete sustainability is long, so we start where it is most attainable for us: by reducing our travel distances, maintaining a critical eye on certifications and, so far, deciding not to use them, and working with companies instead that allow us to be present at the moment of production. In addition, we have established our own small production site, enabling internal production.
We prioritize your satisfaction and aim to help you make choices that you will be truly happy with in the long term. We communicate this in our unique way: our website may occasionally include humor that could cause a moment of doubt. Help us protect your and our company's resources in a sustainable way. The Suitcase is committed to continually assisting you in making informed choices.
If you have any questions, don't hesitate to contact Agnes, who will personally respond to your inquiries.
