When Jesse Shwayder founded Samsonite® in 1910 in Denver, travel was once reserved for only an
exclusive few, those who had the means to see the world. Given this exclusivity, travel was a
high quality experience from the transportation, to the attention to service, to even the
accessories used to carry one’s belongings.
SAMSON TRUNK
Where it all began. The first robust wooden trunk manufactured by the Shwayder Brothers.
STREAMLITE
An early use of cutting-edge technology - cladding lightweight lithograph paper to create
‘rawhide’ effect.
SILHOUETTE
The most advanced luggage of the time, including a new modern shape with recessed hardware to
protect it from wear and tear.
SATURN
The first Samsonite polypropylene suitcase with injection-moulded shells.
SILHOUETTE UPGRADE
Two wheels were added to the 1958 Silhouette frame and the first case on wheels was born. The
innovation transformed the luggage world - the point where cases got off the ground and
started standing upright.
OYSTER
The first Samsonite suitcase with a three-point locking system.
XYLEM
The first Samsonite aluminium case was introduced.

An innovation that improved mobility with wheels that can besteered in any direction and toted
right alongside the traveler.
COLLABS

COSMOLITE
The brand’s strongest and lightest collection yet, utilising innovative Curv® technology.
EVOA
A minimalistic collection featuring an Aero-TracTM Suspension Wheel System that reduces noise
and vibrations.
MAGNUM ECO
Crafted with recycled post-consumer waste: using recycled yoghurt cups for the shells and
recycled PET bottles for the interior lining.
