Founded in 1952, the renowned Italian leather goods and accessories brand Bric’s is marking its seventieth anniversary with a contemporary twist. At Milan’s autumn fair MIPEL 2022, the maison unveiled a capsule collection inspired by Pop Art and the imagery of Andy Warhol, created in collaboration with The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts. It’s a meeting of heritage, design, and visual culture: luggage becomes “canvases in motion,” made for travellers who want to stand out from the moment they reach the gate.

This limited-edition run of bags, trolleys, and holdalls was born from a creative dialogue with the Warhol Foundation in New York: iconic pop images are reworked as exclusive signature patterns, printed on technical materials built for everyday use. In the “Travel as Art” line, the Marilyn reinterpretations take centre stage: lightweight yet tough, with water-repellent recycled nylon shells, meticulous detailing, and smart practicality (pockets, zips, expandable capacity) designed to see you through every leg of the journey. As managing director Roberto Briccola puts it, the suitcase becomes a true travel companion—bringing together escapism, conversation, and culture.

The Warhol-inspired capsule was announced to land in boutiques in February 2023, rounding off the seventieth-anniversary celebrations of the Como-based company and strengthening the bond between Italian design and twentieth-century pop iconography.

THE ARTIST.
Andy Warhol (Pittsburgh, 1928 – New York, 1987) was a towering figure of Pop Art. He redefined the relationship between art, advertising, and celebrity culture, shaping not only museums but also fashion, publishing, cinema, and communications. His serial imagery—from soup cans to Hollywood stars—has entered the global collective imagination and continues to speak to new generations.

TRAVEL becomes an artistic experience.
Warhol treated movement as an endless source of inspiration: cities, signs, faces, and adverts became visual material he sampled and turned into icons. It’s no surprise, then, that Bric’s “wears” his colour alphabet on its luggage—an invitation to see travel as a cultural act, where function meets imagination.

Andy Warhol in Italy, 1972

Born in 1928 in Pittsburgh and passing away in 1987 in New York, Warhol is regarded by critics as one of the most influential American artists of the second half of the twentieth century. His radical, multimedia body of work continues to be studied and celebrated by leading cultural institutions worldwide.

Warhol’s visual legacy feels more relevant than ever. The success of his “Marilyns” says it all: in May 2022, Shot Sage Blue Marilyn sold at auction for $195 million, setting a record for a twentieth-century artwork and confirming the subject’s iconic power. The Bric’s × Andy Warhol project channels that energy into everyday objects—trolleys and bags—made for travelling in style, where artful references meet Italian craftsmanship.

Marilyn Monroe remains a global icon. In May 2022, Warhol’s “Shot Sage Blue Marilyn” fetched $195 million at Christie’s—a record for a twentieth-century work.
