In a world where travel has become second nature, luxury is no longer just about where you are going—it is about how you get there. Enter the Newport Collection from Aviteur, the luxury travel accessories brand founded by Patricia Gucci, now unveiling a seafaring-inspired series that blends coastal charm with impeccable Italian craftsmanship. Handcrafted in Italy, the Newport Collection introduces a new chapter in Aviteur’s design story. With cerato (waxed) canvas, fine leather trims, and nautical tones, each piece is thoughtfully made to evoke the romance of ocean voyages and the freedom of summer escapes.
Where Legacy Meets Luxury
“Carry-ons and travel bags have become part of everyday life and yet, walking through airports, all I saw were generic products without any real personality,” shares the Founder and Creative Director. “I wanted something that stood out from the crowd, that was cutting-edge.” Born in London, Patricia Gucci is the daughter of Aldo Gucci, the visionary credited with transforming Gucci into a global symbol of luxury. With a deep-rooted heritage in fashion, she served as Fashion Coordinator and Brand Ambassador for Gucci America, representing the house across the U.S. and Asia. She later made history as the first woman appointed to Gucci’s Board of Directors—a testament to her trailblazing spirit and enduring influence in the world of luxury.
Timeless Function Meets Maritime Flair
The Newport Collection includes three key silhouettes designed for discerning travelers:
- The Canvas Duffle – An elegant yet roomy essential for weekend escapes or elevated carry-on style.
- The Newport Shoulder Bag – Casual refinement meets everyday ease in this versatile, sea-kissed piece.
- The Newport Tote – Clean lines and coastal soul make this tote perfect for city days and seaside retreats alike.
Lightweight yet substantial, the collection nods to vintage marine gear while staying modern, mobile, and quietly luxurious. Every detail—from Aviteur’s signature leather weave to subtle hardware accents—reflects a desire to travel beautifully and intentionally.
Crafted for the Modern Voyager
Patricia has long understood that true luxury lies in thoughtfulness. With the Newport Collection, Aviteur continues its mission of merging heritage artistry with forward-thinking design—creating accessories that are both statement-making and soulfully minimal. For travelers who see the journey as part of the destination, Newport is a passport to effortless sophistication—whether you’re gliding through European terminals en route to the Côte d’Azur or boarding a seaplane to Nantucket. From the sun-drenched charm of Charleston to the understated glamour of California’s Big Sur coast, each piece is designed to move seamlessly through landscapes both timeless and modern. Marrying maritime elegance with urban ease, the Newport Collection invites the modern voyager to carry not just essentials—but a sense of style, story, and intention—wherever the journey leads.
