Purdey has been crafting the world’s finest equipment for country pursuits since 1814, each designed with the utmost attention to heritage, utility and elegance. Now the house introduces the Field Luggage Collection, its newest range, distinguished by its remarkably lightweight design.

Defined by the needs of today’s discerning outdoors enthusiast – who prioritise versatility, durability and practicality – the three pieces in the collection are the lightest ever produced by the house, yet still possess the robust construction needed for life in the field.

Conceived with reduced weight as a priority and designed for ultimate simplicity, this is a distinctly modern system of luggage created to offer unparalleled practicality and portability, whether in the great outdoors or for everyday travel.

Made in the UK, all are cut from ultra-light yet hard-wearing polyamide field canvas in the House’s newly introduced signature colour, ‘Sporting Green’. Rooted in sporting tradition and historical field kit, the tone sits seamlessly in the natural landscapes it will inhabit, offering discretion rather than contrast.

Across the collection, considered details add durability without unnecessary weight: reinforced stress points, intuitive pocket placements, brass fittings intended to mellow with age, and leather piping that helps the luggage retain its shape. Our Purdey 1814 Webbing – inspired by the striped interior of 1860s leather gun case covers discovered in the archives at Audley House in Mayfair, London – adds flexibility and strength, as well as a nod to the House’s heritage, to each piece.

“Since 1814, Purdey has designed objects with purpose, made to perform flawlessly and endure,” says Giles Deacon, Creative Director of Purdey. “The lightweight Field Luggage Collection continues this tradition, reflecting Purdey’s longstanding relationship with the field and a deep understanding of how equipment is actually used – quietly confident, enduring and engineered for modern use.”
