Samsonite was named a Finalist in the Best Luggage category at the 2025 Travelling for Business Awards, recognition for the brand that has defined what luggage means for more than a century - and refuses to stand still.
Founded in 1910, Samsonite is the name three generations of business travellers grew up trusting, and its shortlisting proves that heritage remains a living asset rather than a museum piece. The modern range is a masterclass in materials science: proprietary Curv construction delivers hard-shells of extraordinary strength at weights that seem to defy their resilience, while suspension-style wheels,
TSA-integrated locks and meticulously engineered interiors show a company that treats a suitcase as precision equipment.
Travelling for Business has tested that engineering directly. Our reviewers praised the
Samsonite Evoa for its blend of security, style and smart interior organisation, and found the
Lite-Shock Spinner - one of the lightest hard cases ever made - an astonishing feat of strength-to-weight design. Few brands submit to decades of real-world scrutiny across so many product generations and emerge with their reputation enhanced; Samsonite has made a habit of it.
Scale brings its own assurances. The range spans featherweight cabin cases, checked luggage built for hard rotations, and business collections carrying laptops and documents with equal care, while a global service and repair network means a damaged wheel is an errand, not a bereavement - and sustainability advances as recycled materials weave through the collections. Buying Samsonite has always been a long-term relationship, and the brand honours its side of it.
The 2025 title went to Tumi, with Samsonite shortlisted alongside July - a Finalist field telling the industry's whole story: the founding giant, the engineering perfectionist and the digital-native insurgent sharing one podium.
Innovation continues at the frontier: the Proxis collection, built from Samsonite's woven Roxkin material, achieves resilience the brand demonstrates by dropping cases from remarkable heights, while the Magnum Eco line spins recycled bottles and industrial waste into fully fledged luggage - heritage engineering pointed firmly at the future.
As the Travelling for Business Awards look towards 2026, Samsonite's presence carries a simple message: the brand that invented modern luggage is still setting standards in it. Longevity, in this category, is not nostalgia - it is evidence.
