The Secure Traveller Trip : The Bluesmart Carry-On, £349.99 from Selfridges.
Forget your lost luggage fears thanks to the world’s first smart suitcase from Bluesmart. Designed to keep travellers’ belongings tracked, devices charged, bag secure, and trips hassle-free, it’s a must for the security conscious and technology focused traveller. Integrated with hassle-eliminating technology – 3G+GPS tracking, backup battery, remote digital lock, built-in scale – that syncs wirelessly to the free companion app (available on Android and iPhone) it does the ‘thinking’ for you when travelling. The built-in battery keeps devices charged and connected to everything travellers care about whilst it also has the first ever TSA approved digital lock which lets users remotely secure belongings (much like your car door). In addition, when a bag goes out of range of its owner, the Bluetooth-enabled proximity sensor sends an alert and automatically locks the bag, just in case.
The Bluesmart Carry-On is designed for efficiency and convenience at airports as well. A dedicated compartment protects and provides easy access to laptops and electronics when going through airport security. Hub-less wheels combined with the hard/soft shell case makes it lightweight, durable, and highly manoeuvrable.
