HAUPTSTADTKOFFER – THAT'S WHO WE ARE
Our Story
What began in 2011 as a simple idea has now become a well-known brand across Europe for modern travel luggage. Back then, like many others, we stood at the baggage carousel and thought: Why do all suitcases look the same? Black shells, no recognition, little personality. So we decided to change that – with colorful suitcases that are not only practical and durable, but also eye-catching and express a bit of individuality.
But what truly makes us special isn’t just the colors or the design. It’s the close connection to our customers. We offer honest answers, fast help, and genuine attention. We listen – whether it's about a complaint, a color question, or feedback.
Family Team in Berlin
We are a small team with big ambitions. Short paths, quick decisions, and a shared goal: to create suitcases that make your travels easier and more enjoyable. Quality, fair production conditions, and sustainability are our top priorities. And if something breaks, we offer suitable replacement parts – because sustainability is more than just a buzzword.
Our home is Berlin – a city full of energy and diversity. Just like our suitcases. For us, the journey begins with packing – with style, functionality, and a good feeling.
The Concept
Our ambition goes beyond design and quality. Hauptstadtkoffer stands for a holistic brand experience – from the first click in the shop to the first day of travel with the new suitcase. Our service is not an extra, but a promise: personal, approachable, reliable. With over 750,000 satisfied customers worldwide, a Berlin idea has grown into an international company – yet our approach remains: we stay personal and accessible.
Our Home is Berlin
Berlin is more than just our founding location – it's part of our identity. Direct, colorful, full of ideas – it was here in 2005 that the vision to rethink the luggage industry was born. What began as a friendship and business idea of Alexander Gobel and Sebastian Hartmann became a brand with character. Today we develop our suitcases with passion, experience, and strong partners in Asia – with a focus on quality, transparency, and responsibility.
Our heart beats in Alt-Mariendorf: This is where designs are created, questions are answered, packages are shipped, and creative ideas are sent on their journey – with every suitcase, a piece of Berlin.
