The concept of Portmantos is quite unique in the online world, so the site instantly caught my attention as I was placing piles of clothing into my suitcase. The experience is designed to mirror the refinement experienced by discerning consumers who frequent the world’s most lavish boutiques. As a result, for an online retailer, Portmantos offers a truly personalized shopping experience with hand-selected products, exclusive benefits, concierge services, VIP programming, and white-glove delivery.

I always travel with a carry-on that is versatile; one that can hold clothes to utilize immediately upon arrival as well as valuables and electronics. I clicked onto Portmantos, and found a great Jack Spade duffle that would fit the bill perfectly. I decided it was the perfect opportunity to grab a great travel bag and experience the portmantos service firsthand.

While I do not live within the range for same-day white glove delivery, the bag arrived nicely on my doorstep the next day. I was thrilled to see the box at the doorsteps, opened the bag, and began filling with all my carry-on “essentials.” (Check out my packing tips for Nice). The package included a note that really embodies the Portmantos philosophy and mission. I stuffed the bag with, perhaps, slightly more than the “essentials”, but last but not least, I tucked my passport into the pocket and was out the door!

The next time I need a new piece of luggage or any travel accessory, I will be sure to point my browser towards Portmantos. The array of styles both modern and classic ensure something perfect for your specific travel occasion.
