A Kiwi fashion designer has come up with a genius solution to excess baggage fees: the “travel coat”.
When Bruno Harding and his wife decided to move from Berlin back to New Zealand last year because of the pandemic, they faced the prospect every traveller dreads: excess baggage charges.
Being a fashion designer by trade, Harding came up with a creative solution to the problem and headed to his local flea market where he found a few metres of nylon “in two perfect tones of green” to create what looks like a puffer jacket.
But, according to a post on the Facebook page of Harding’s label, Bruno’s Originals, the interior of the jacket was filled with 6.8 kilograms of clothing in the place of feathers.
