FEATURED PRODUCT

Trochi Lux-Tex

We named the Lux-Tex for its luxuriously textured surface. The understated elegance of its class-socially-styled case is a real head-turner. Its cloth-like, textured finish is stunning in all its available colors — Silver, Midnight, Champagne, Light Brown & Black. Not just a pretty face, the Lux-Texis built for the rigors of international travel. Made of impact and scratch-resistant ABS material, your Lux-Tex will last and last and keep on looking good.
