When Ann Simmons and Dixie Powers first met, it was aboard a transpacifc flight. Both Ann and Dixie had experienced business success on their own selling everything from real estate to designer accessories. When they met they discovered a mutual fascination for improving on things and filling a niche. What came into their acute line of observation was what passengers wanted in "travel gear." Ann and Dixie saw an opportunity and Baggallini was born.

"We put our 50-hour layovers in Seoul to good use," says Dixie. "We visited every bag and luggage manufacturer in the city to see what was available in travel gear."

They spent their free time away and at home improving on designs, testing products, and searching for manufacturers who would work with them on creating high-quality, efficiently-designed products.

Careful thought has gone into designing their travel products and they get many of their ideas by listening to the opinions of some of the most experienced travellers in the world -- flight attendants. Each product they offer is manufactured to the highest quality standards and is made of the best materials available.

Many of them are available at The Savvy Traveller.
