What to know about Samsonite
A group, not one label
Samsonite also owns American Tourister, Tumi, Hartmann and eBags, so its own line sits in the middle of a portfolio spanning budget to premium travel gear.
Competing on shell weight
The pitch is technical: lightweight hardside construction, recycled-material components and long warranties rather than fashion styling.
Suitcases first, work bags second
The range centres on hardside and softside spinners and cabin bags, extending into business backpacks, briefcases and travel accessories.
