This stylish holdall was designed by Jordan in close connection with Clive Chapman, Managing Director of Classic Team Lotus, and son of Colin Chapman, and is the latest creation in a 13-year official partnership between the two brands.
This latest Jordan Bespoke bag takes inspiration from Colin Chapman’s Lotus type 49; the greatest ever step in F1 performance, The result is a holdall which celebrates this famous racing car, captures the spirit of the late 60s, celebrating the iconic historic motor racing era
Specially selected Scottish Bridge of Weir leather perfectly matches the Gold Leaf Team Lotus colour scheme of red, white and gold, the flawless nature of the hides reflecting the quality buyers have come to expect from Jordan Bespoke.
As with all Simon Jordan creations, client-led bespoke options are available. In recognition of the time when car numbers changed from race to race, customers can choose to have their holdall customised with a number of their choice. An owner may choose a significant number to them, such as a birthday, or perhaps to depict the number displayed on their own racing car.
A subtle design feature of the Classic Team Lotus type 49 Heritage Holdall is the monogram embossed on the zip pulls, luggage tag and matching key ring. The ACBC monogram was created by Anthony Colin Bruce Chapman who chose to incorporate his personal monogram within the original Lotus logo.
Simon Jordan Founder of Jordan Bespoke, said “Working with Classic Team Lotus and the Chapman family to create this Classic Team Lotus type 49 bag was a genuine honour and privilege. Together we have created a luxurious holdall which respects the contribution Colin Chapman made to motorsport with the type 49, and the unrivalled talent of its drivers. Despite its obvious motorsport connections, the holdall offers a stylish bespoke piece of luggage to anyone who has an eye for detail and a passion for quality and design.”

I am privileged to work together with an outstanding team of mechanics to preserve the famous cars that established the Lotus legend.
