A Tribute to Legacy
The journey begins with a heartfelt homage to Samsonite’s rich heritage. “Destination Samsonite: Voyaging Through Time” takes you on a visual tour, featuring iconic pieces from the 1930s onwards. It’s like a time capsule. Here, visitors can catch a glimpse into the brand’s evolution, from a luggage manufacturer to a revolutionary innovator. This exhibition also displays iconic products like Streamlite, Silhouette, Oyster, and the 4-Wheel Spinner, as well as their present-day signatures, C-Lite, Proxis, and Evoa. Each of these pieces represents a milestone in the brand’s journey and is also a testament to its commitment to being a leader in the industry.
Subrata Dutta, President of the APAC and Middle East at Samsonite, shares, “In the spirit of Samsonite, we embark on this voyage through our heritage and innovations. With Singapore as a leading international hub for business and technology, we believe it exemplifies our goal to provide smart travel solutions to travellers worldwide.”
In Pursuit of Quality
Samsonite’s dedication to quality and innovation is evident in every aspect of its products. This commitment is central to the “Destination Samsonite: Voyaging Through Time” exhibition.
This pop-up event features three thematic installations. It begins with “Zero Gravity.” Here, visitors can experience the lightweight properties of Samsonite luggage. Models like Attrix and C-lite use Roxkin™ and Curv® materials for exceptional lightness.
Next up is the “Discover Durability” area. Here, visitors can test the resilience of Samsonite’s luggage using a large tumble wheel. This reinforces the brand’s promise of creating long-lasting products.
Finally, in the “Abstract Terrains” section, you can assess the wheels’ durability and manoeuvrability over various surfaces. An informative video also highlights the practicality and sturdiness of Samsonite luggage.
Kim HeeJeong, Senior Director for Marketing and Brand Strategy at Samsonite Asia, also expresses the brand’s philosophy: “We believe in crafting memories, stories, and experiences that accompany travellers on their most meaningful journeys. Through thoughtful design, innovation, and a commitment to sustainability, we are dedicated to enriching every step of any adventure.”
