    Building on our heritage of #innovation, #durability and #sustainability, we are proud to announce the Samsonite Group has committed to an ambitious near-term science-based climate target in alignment with the criteria of the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi).   As a part of our global sustainability strategy, Our Responsible Journey, we have committed to: • Continuing to use 100% renewable electricity in our own retail stores, manufacturing and distribution facilities and offices.  • Significantly increasing recycled materials used in our products to reduce Scope 3 value chain emissions from purchased goods and services by 52% by 2030 on an intensity basis per unit gross profit, compared to a 2022. Our new target was submitted to SBTi for validation last month and applies collectively to all of our brands worldwide, including Samsonite, TUMI, American Tourister , Gregory Mountain Products and Lipault Paris. "We are proud to leverage our leadership position to create a path towards a more sustainable future for the industry," said Kyle Gendreau, the Company's Chief Executive Officer. "We are partnering with our suppliers to significantly expand the use of recycled, lower-carbon materials while maintaining our long-standing commitment to durability."

  • 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

  • Proud to present Samsonite’s collaboration with Berlin artist Christian Awe for the first FCG/VOGUE Fashion Fund, of which Samsonite is a partner. This project explores the fusion of art and fashion, featuring the Lite Box Alu. Christian Awe’s vibrant, dynamic art transforms Samsonite's carry-on luggage into a portable canvas, blending functionality with artistic expression. A perfect example of how everyday travel essentials can become true pieces of art. #MySamsonite #MyJourney #Liteboxalu
