Defying Gravity: Samsonite's lightest suitcase completes groundbreaking journey to space. Samsonite Proxis took an out-of-this-world mission, surviving the ultimate test from the stratosphere*. During its journey, the Proxis suitcase survived extreme conditions, hitting temperatures as low as -65°C, before reaching an altitude of 39 624 meters — three times the cruising height of a commercial aircraft. After falling at a maximum speed of 400 km/h, a self-deploying parachute system brought the craft down at a safe and controlled speed. Intact and unscathed, the Samsonite Proxis proved that no journey is too far and no adventure is too bold. This was a real-world demonstration of the Samsonite Proxis' strength and lightness. *The test was achieved with no involvement of artificial intelligence. Though Samsonite legally couldn’t do a free-fall, the Proxis endured the journey from space, facing intense conditions while staying intact upon its controlled landing. #SamsoniteInSpace #Proxis #Samsonite

Samsonite teamed up with upcycling designer Nicole McLaughlin to create a truly unique product: a jacket crafted and made entirely from four of Samsonite's signature Ecodiver backpacks. For McLaughlin, the project was a natural fit. “I’ve been a fan of Samsonite for a long time,” noting that her creative process was inspired by the sustainable materials and vibrant color of the Ecodiver bags. Check out the article from Highsnobiety to discover more about this project: https://lnkd.in/exn5dFiA This collaboration also celebrates design innovation and creativity as a cutting-edge combination of form and function that both Samsonite and Nicole McLaughlin are famous for. #Samsonite #Ecodiver #Backpack #HighSnobiety #Design #Innovation #Upcycling

Berlin lives, breaths and feels fashion everywhere - especially during Fashion Week of course! Samsonite is proud to be a partner of the FCG/VOGUE Fashion Fund. VOGUE Germany and the FCG are bringing the German edition of the Fashion Fund to Berlin. This competition is looking for young design talents who pursue an innovative and creative approach. The winner will receive prize money and an exclusive mentoring programme and will be announced in September. At the beginning of the week Samsonite presented a unique collaboration with Berlin-based artist Christian Awe. This installation explores the intersection of art and fashion, where the practical meets the aesthetic. At the heart of this collaboration is our bestselling collection “Lite Box Alu”, a piece of luggage crafted from high quality anodized aluminum. Its timeless design and advanced security features make it not just a travel necessity, but a statement piece in the fashion world. Known for his vibrant and dynamic large-scale paintings, Christian Awe brings his artistry to a new medium. By transferring his colorful, energetic work onto Samsonite's carry-on luggage, he creates a portable canvas that merges functionality with artistic expression. This project exemplifies the evolution of luggage into a fashion accessory, highlighting how everyday objects can be transformed into unique pieces of art. The FCG/VOGUE Fashion Fund was honored in the competition for innovative event formats.
