Heys USA Brings Masterpieces from Renowned Artists, Britto and Fazzino
The Art of Modern Luggage is just the right fit for the holidays.
Weston, FL, September 20, 2011 --(PR.com)-- The inventor of “The World’s Lightest Carry-on Luggage” and leader in fashion-driven, innovative, solutions-based travel goods is sharing its splash of color all year-round with the newest Heys USA collections by world-renowned pop-artists, Romero Britto and Charles Fazzino. The Heys Britto Collection along with the Heys Fazzino Collection have set the new standard for fashion travel goods. With uniquely patterned, 4-piece lightweight luggage sets, and a carry-on sized "just right" for most airlines’ overhead bins, Heys USA has brought inspiration and a renewed sense of adventure and fun to travelers amongst a sea of traditional travel bags.
The artwork of internationally acclaimed pop-artist, Romero Britto on Heys USA’s hugely successful travel sets have been incorporated onto the luggage using an exclusive manufacturing process. Heys has also taken Fazzino’s imaged interpretation of New York, Venice, London, and Paris for development into travel goods sets. Best known for his bright, whimsical, and wonderfully detailed 3-D pop art, Fazzino uses a unique, hand-assembled layering technique that brings his creations to life, which has been exhibited in hundreds of art galleries worldwide.
Both collections include a 22’’, 26’’, and 30’’ upright hard side spinner set; along with a matching beauty case; ideal for business and leisure travel. Each piece is lightweight, extremely durable, flexible, and absorbs impact. The uprights feature four wheel, 360-degree spinner systems for greater stability and easy gliding on all surfaces.
Additional features include a built-in 3-digit TSA accepted lock, heavy duty zippers, and organized fully-lined interiors, so packing is a breeze. "We are fortunate to have the bonds of collaborative artists to bring fun art to functional, fashionable travel goods. It’s a perfect combination,” noted Harry Sheikh, President and CEO of Heys USA, “Whether you’re on the naughty or nice lists, these artists’ collections by Heys are the picture-perfect way to spread joy this holiday season.”
