dunhill has introduced Century, the second chapter of its Heritage in Motion series, a leather goods collection inspired by the earliest automotive trunks the house made more than 130 years ago. Travel has shaped the dunhill world since the beginning, and as journeys grew longer, so did the objects created to accompany them.
A softly structured silhouette defines Century, bringing the character of traditional travel luggage into the present. The curvilinear base corners reference a 1914 motoring trunk, preserving an archival construction that balanced protection with elegant proportion. Those design signatures run across a family of silhouettes: the tote, the holdall, the valet trunk, and the carry-on.
The handles carry the signature house steering wheel stitch, a cross-stitch technique inspired by leather-wrapped steering wheels, shaped to sit comfortably in the hand. Leather side straps, drawn from the companion luggage once designed to accompany trunks, allow the silhouette to shift between a compact and more relaxed expression. Every detail speaks to a tradition of craft shaped by movement.
Hardware developed exclusively for Century continues the dialogue between leather and metal. The padlock, cylindrical Rolla-tag, and engravable monogram tag are finished with the dunhill Reed pattern, their proportions informed by the Unique lighter from 1924. Finished in polished Vintage Palladium, each element reflects more than a century of dunhill silversmith work.
Century is offered in fine patina calf, designed to age with every journey and develop a distinctive patina over time. It is available in chocolate, tan, and black.
The fourth chapter of dunhill’s Heritage in Motion series turns to the Driving Jacket, a modern expression of the leather garments Alfred Dunhill developed for the earliest motorists.
