Boyt Luggage

A century ago, nobody would’ve guessed Boyt, the American luggage brand, would be a longstanding brand name. Back in 1901, John Boyt opened his first Des Moines harness and saddle works store. The incomparable craftsmanship, top quality materials, superior durability and innovation helped him gain a global reputation during both world wars, during which time the U.S. government commissioned Boyt as the official supplier of leather packs, gun cases, holsters and straps for its troops. In 1969, Boyt introduced his first line of soft-sided luggage, and moved into the civilian realm of travel luggage.

Despite having been a high-end luggage icon for a long time, Boyt experienced bankruptcy in the fall of 1996, due to the internal mismanagement. However, Boyt didn’t give up on his company. A year later, Boyt Luggage emerged from bankruptcy and began focusing on new and improved product development.

Different from other luggage firms, Boyt doesn’t import the majority of its material goods from reduced-labor countries. Boyt Luggage is proud of its “Made in U.S.A” marketing tactics. Plus, Boyt offers premium and uniquely designed luggage pieces to travel customers worldwide.

While the smell of the smoke still emerges from the battlefield of low priced luggage wars, Boyt is currently a survivor. A legacy built on reasonable pricing and dependable merchandise means Boyt is still providing business and family travelers with high-end quality luggage. Emerging literally from the battlefields of WWI and WWII, Boyt has rightly inherited a well-known name for durability, and is confident in its unlimited lifetime warranty (which even includes airline damage).

All Boyt Luggage features an expandable handle with a comfortable rubberized grip that conforms to the user’s hand. Coated with waterproof PVC poly-suede fabric, the luggage is very easy to clean. Te current best-seller is Boyt Solera Luggage. This European-styled line of luggage is designed with round curves around the corners for a sleeker, more aerodynamic look.
