For over 100 years, Samsonite has been creating high-quality suitcases, providing stylish and durable options for the enthusiastic traveller. When the brand first began trading, travel was a luxury afforded only to the wealthy, and every aspect of the experience was extravagant and expensive. As times have changed, and travel has become more accessible, so has Samsonite, with the brand now enjoying world-wide success, while still retaining its name as a leader in the luggage market.
Established in 1910 by the Shwayder brothers, Samsonite was the first company to put wheels on suitcases, the first to introduce a multi lock system, and the first to introduce wide-pull handles. Even today, the company continues to produce innovative new products that meet the needs of both function and style.
