Whether you’re chasing Euro summer or buying for a jetsetting Dad this Father’s Day, here are the Samsonite suitcases turning heads on the carousel.
The Jet-Set Trio: Upscape 3-Piece Set

First up, the Upscape 3-Piece Set in stone grey. This is basically the luggage equivalent of a capsule wardrobe. You'll get a 75cm suitcase for the main haul, a 55cm carry-on for weekend getaways, and a tech kit to wrangle all the chargers, adapters and random cords that multiply whenever you travel. The hard shell is made from sturdy polypropylene, while the interior lining is recycled, removable and washable, too. Add TSA-approved locks, shock-absorbing wheels, compression straps and that understated, scuff-friendly grey hue, and you’ve got a bag that’s both practical and polished.
The Eco-Conscious Overachiever: Proxis™ Circular

If you like your luggage with a conscience, make Proxis™ Circular your new travel buddy. Its shell is made of bio-circular materials from used cooking oil, while the lining is spun from recycled PET bottles. Yep, your suitcase could once have been a deep fryer and a water bottle, now reincarnated into something smart, sustainable and oh-so chic. Scan its Digital Product Passport and you’ll get the full lowdown on the suitcase’s lifecycle, materials and impact—basically, luggage with receipts for doing good.
The Showstopper: C-Lite Colourburst

No more wrestling with anonymous black bags at the baggage claims. The C-Lite Colourburst is a suitcase that makes a statement. This long-term Samsonite staple is now available in an innately happy rainbow hue, providing an extra dose of dopamine on even the dreariest of travel days. She’s not just a pretty face, though. Built in Europe, this multi-coloured marvel is shock-absorbing and durable as hell with a self-reinforced design, double pull handle and double wheels for smooth rolling across any surface. Prefer a more classic palette? The C-Lite also comes in an off-white, deep blue and chilli red, with sunset making its grand return this September.
So there you have it. Samsonite’s latest lineup proves luggage can be stylish, smart and sustainable all at once. Perfect for gifting, upgrading or planning your next adventure, these suitcases are ready to make the journey as seamless—and as stylish—as possible. Get yours here.
