The designer has secured new inflight listings for products created exclusively for her airline partners

London-based fashion designer Nadia Minkoff has secured two new inflight listings with products designed exclusively for her airline clients. Through onboard concessionaire Tourvest Duty Free, the designer created a unisex travel wallet for Kenya Airlines and an iPad cover for Virgin Atlantic Airways.

The black mock-croc faux leather wallet listed on board Kenya Airlines’ duty-free catalogue was designed with men and women in mind and has room for passport, tickets and currency. Meanwhile, the Vintage World Map iPad cover available on Virgin Atlantic flights features a vintage world map embossed into copper faux leather.

Minkoff said: “I have had the pleasure of working with the Tourvest team for many years. They are always forward-thinking and looking for innovation. It is a pleasure to create items like this for their airline partners.”

Tourvest Duty Free luxury and gifting buyer Tracy Cilliers added: “We are delighted to work with Nadia Minkoff. She is always a pleasure to deal with in developing a product to meet our customers' needs in whichever market we are trading, and to support our commitment to ensure our retail offer meets the requirements of our customers.”
