The £19,500 Lightweight Suitcase

A luxury suitcase costing more than most family cars has been unveiled.

The Henk - named after its creator millionaire Dutch businessman Henk van de Meene - has 500 parts made from ultra-lightweight materials such as carbon fibre, parachute fabric and titanium.

As a result the 21" x 15" case seems as if to weigh just 1oz when it is pulled along.

It boasts a number of features which would make James Bond proud, including a central-locking system and a telescopic handle that doubles as a coat hanger.

Prices range from £16,500 to £19,500. A limited edition of 200 recently went on sale at Harrods last week and one has been snapped up already.
