As someone who travels frequently, I’ve tested more luggage than I care to admit. But Horizn Studios’ newly relaunched RE Series—especially the Glossy Mocha edition—has genuinely impressed me.

It’s not just a suitcase; it’s a statement of purpose, performance, and sustainability.

First Impressions: Sleek, Smart, and Sustainable

The Glossy Mocha finish is understated yet elegant – perfect for boardrooms and boutique hotels alike. It’s a rich, warm tone that feels premium without screaming for attention. The shell is crafted from 97% recycled polycarbonate, sourced from repurposed CDs. Yes, CDs. It’s a poetic twist: music of the past transformed into movement for the future.

Performance on the Go

I tested the H5 Cabin model on a three-day business trip to Paris. At just 2.9kg, it’s incredibly lightweight, which makes navigating airports and train stations a breeze. The ultra-silent Japanese spinner wheels glide effortlessly – even across cobblestones and the water-resistant lining came in handy during a rainy dash to a taxi.

The interior is thoughtfully designed, with enough space for a laptop, two suits, and essentials. Everything stayed crisp and dry. The case held up beautifully through multiple transfers, showing no scuffs or signs of wear.

Sustainability That Doesn’t Compromise

Horizn Studios has clearly gone all-in on conscious travel. From vegan materials to reusable cotton shipping bags, every detail reflects a commitment to reducing environmental impact. The lifetime warranty is a bold promise—and one that makes this suitcase feel like a long-term investment rather than a seasonal purchase.

Final Verdict

For business travellers who value style, durability, and sustainability, the RE Series in Glossy Mocha is a standout. It’s more than just luggage—it’s a reflection of modern mobility. Whether you’re heading to a pitch meeting or a policy summit, this case travels with purpose.
