The brand's profile was raised in 2021, when one of its innovative products featured in the James Bond movie, "No Time To Die". For many, the highlight of the film was the introduction of the Bond Girl, Paloma, played by Cuban-Spanish actress Ana de Armas. Strangely, her first task was to ensure that 007 was appropriately dressed for their mission, presenting his evening attire to him in a Bennett Winch suit carrier.

The suit carrier was one part of a unique design, which paired the garment bag with a holdall, connecting the two pieces with magnets and straps to create a clever combination of luggage that can accommodate everything you need for your escapades.

Handcrafted in England

The brand's product range of bags, luggage, and accessories, are designed with the meticulous attention to detail you'd associate with a bespoke suit, and in 2022, the company opened a flagship store on Savile Row, knowing that they would be in good company. Their new neighbours were delighted to witness the release of another innovative Bennett Winch suit carrier, The Trifold, and the following video was shot to illustrate the reaction.
