Location: Shanghai

Our dedicated manufacturing partner for Hardshell.

A new relationship built specifically for Hardshell, with one of the most respected luggage manufacturers in the world.

The Shanghai Team has spent decades building for the biggest names in travel and refusing to cut corners. Because "good enough" is never the brief.

Rigorously Tested

Every Hardshell endures the knocks, drops and miles of real travel, held to the same standard as every Stubble & Co bag, with durability testing that goes beyond the industry norm. From wheels and handles to shell and closures, every component is pushed to prove itself trip after trip, year after year.

Every Hardshell is put through the same six-test gauntlet before it ever leaves the factory.

Dropped from up to 90cm at -12°C, tumbled through 50 cycles in the same conditions, rolled 32km on its wheels, jerked through 500 handle cycles and 3,000 carry-handle cycles, and dragged through 750 stair cycles - all carrying up to 25-32kg.
