Jan Taminiau designs new KLM comfort bag

Thu, 24 Mar 2016 15:00:00 +0100

Jan Taminiau will design new comfort bags for KLM every year for the next few years. These bags for men and women contain items that are essential on a long flight. Taminiau will design a total of six unique comfort bags in 12 different colours. To give travellers something lasting, Taminiau is designing the bags so that they can be used after the flight. The first comfort bag is a clutch bag inspired by a dress in Taminiau’s haute couture collection. The second comfort bag is a wallet. Here Jan Taminiau is following designers Viktor & Rolf, who launched their design for a KLM comfort bag in 2011.

International Dutch
The new bags are part of KLM’s product vision “International Dutch”. Other components are the meals served in World Business Class, which have been designed by Dutch Michelin Star chef Jacob Jan Boerma, the dinner service designed by Marcel Wanders, the uniforms by Mart Visser, and Hella Jongerius contributed to the new design of the cabin interiors. As well as an amenity bag, World Business Class passengers also receive a Delft Blue KLM House.
