American premium travel brand known for ballistic nylon and aluminium luggage, business cases and leather goods; owned by Samsonite since 2016.
Why it's similar. Samsonite has owned Tumi outright since 2016, so the ballistic nylon Alpha bags and 19 Degree aluminium cases sit inside the same group at higher prices.
What changes. Higher price tier and more executive leather focus
Japanese luggage brand founded in 1989, known for durable polypropylene hard-shell suitcases like the expandable Cubo carry-on.
Why it's similar. Founded in Japan in 1989 and still family-led, Lojel builds polypropylene hard-shells such as the expandable Cubo carry-on from its base in Toyama.
What changes. Smaller range, design-led rather than mass retail

Norwegian travel gear brand, founded by freeskier Jon Olsson, making padded ski bags, roller luggage and backpacks for sport-minded travelers.
What changes. Snow/adventure focus over airport commuter formality
German hard-shell luggage maker, LVMH-majority-owned since 2017, best known for its grooved aluminium and polycarbonate suitcases.
Why it's similar. Rimowa has made hard-shell cases in Cologne since 1898, twelve years before Jesse Shwayder started Samsonite, and its grooved aluminium shells chase the same lifetime-durability buyer.
Vancouver travel brand known for minimalist hardshell luggage and travel accessories, with a small Everywear apparel line of wardrobe basics.
Why it's similar. Vancouver's Monos covers the same polycarbonate carry-on and check-in sizes Samsonite anchors its range on, stripped back to matte muted colourways with vegan-leather trim.
Swiss-branded, licensee-built travel gear known for padded laptop backpacks, ScanSmart carry-ons and spinner luggage sold at mass retail.
Why it's similar. SWISSGEAR reaches the same mass-retail shelves with ScanSmart laptop carry-ons and spinner sets, licensed from Victorinox-owned Wenger and built down to a lower price.
American travel-luggage maker known for expandable ballistic-nylon spinners, external Outsider handles and a lifetime guarantee covering airline damage.
Why it's similar. Briggs & Riley backs its ballistic nylon spinners with a lifetime guarantee covering airline damage, a firmer warranty promise than Samsonite makes on comparable hardside luggage.
Vancouver bag label known for the Little America backpack and striped-lining duffels, with a range spanning luggage, apparel and headwear.
Why it's similar. Herschel Supply moved from the Little America backpack into full travel luggage, so its striped-lining duffels and cases meet Samsonite's softside range at lower prices.
American bag maker founded in 1989, known for customisable messenger bags, backpacks and durable, utilitarian urban-cycling design.
Why it's similar. Bike messenger Rob Honeycutt started Timbuk2 in San Francisco in 1989, and its build-your-own Classic Messenger covers urban travel rather than Samsonite's airport spinner focus.
Swedish bag label from Stockholm making minimalist canvas and leather backpacks, totes and travel bags with outdoor-influenced, functional design.
Why it's similar. Anton Sandqvist began this Stockholm label in 2004 after sewing a work tote he could not buy, and its canvas weekenders answer short trips.
Australian carry brand making slim leather wallets, backpacks, travel bags and tech accessories with a minimalist, low-bulk design approach.
What changes. Small goods and daypacks rather than checked luggage
Shay Mitchell's Los Angeles-area travel brand, known for the Weekender duffel and affordable, neutral-toned luggage sold mainly direct-to-consumer.
Osaka bag label making durable, function-first backpacks and travel gear in its own Japanese factory since 1994.
What changes. Craft-scale production, no spinner suitcase line
New York travel brand known for recycled-material luggage and totes, bought out of bankruptcy by Antler in August 2025 with a 2026 relaunch planned.
Why it's similar. Where Samsonite covers durable hardside and softside spinners at scale, Paravel offers a smaller, pricier New York range of recycled-PET Aviator cases and weekenders.
Accessories, eyewear and adjacent labels with the same sensibility as Samsonite — a complement, not a substitute for the clothing.
Japanese no-brand retailer under Ryohin Keikaku, selling minimalist, low-priced basics in natural fabrics alongside homeware, stationery and food.
Why it's similar. Ryohin Keikaku has run Muji as a deliberately no-brand, low-priced Tokyo label since 1980, so its plain unlogoed travel goods undercut Samsonite's entry tier.
New York label from designer Michael Kors, selling accessible-luxury handbags and American sportswear ready-to-wear under Capri Holdings ownership.
Kering-owned Florentine luxury house known for the GG monogram, green-red web stripe and Horsebit loafers, now led by artistic director Demna.
