Samsonite rolls out luxe luggage
June 10, 2005 | 12:00am
The checklist for the perfect travel experience would include: quick check-in, a business class upgrade, a non—intrusive seatmate, champagne that does more soothing than fizzling on—air, your personal entertainment system, and luggage that doesn’t end up half—smashed as it rolls up for pick—up on the luggage carousel.
While the first five factors more or less depend on the public relations skills of your travel agent, sturdy luggage is entirely your call. And if you know what’s good for those silk pyjamas you’ve carefully packed, you’ll choose Samsonite Black Label, a branch—out line of high—end, quality travel cases from one of the first names in luggage.
Created in 1999, Samsonite Black Label luggage line carries the badge of luxury travel and has become a "key reference point" for travellers that want to combine class, style, and functionality. Designed in Italy and made with the finest craftsmanship and of the strongest and most durable materials, the Black Label line raises the luggage’s standards from being "just a maleta" into a fundamental travel accessory.
Two different collections, guaranteed to impress even the most dour customs agent, make up the Black Label series. The SBL 1700 collection boasts of easy—to—use features and ingenious construction, plus an adherence to logo love as it makes use of the Samsoniten brand logo as its basic design element. Two color combinations: beige/grey and navy/blue assures an impartiality to the gender of the user. High tenacity nylon with a Teflon‚ finish (injects a water—resistant quality into the luggage) and the finest natural leathers assures extra strength and resilience that should surpass countless of mutliple—hour cargo rides.
The SBL 1800 collection is a bit more refined as it maximizes the use of classic black in its designs. In a luggage carousel’s sea of black and neutral—colored luggage, the SBL 1800 collection will still stand out because of the bright red detailing on its handles, enclosures, wheels, and compartment flaps. Samsonite infuses more technical qualities into the 1800 series. Apart from the Teflon‚ finish, nylon Kevlar‚ (think bullet—proof vests) is fused into the construction, packing in a double doses of strength and durability. Both the 1700 and 1800 collections contain inside pockets and several compartments that ensure compact organization (perfect for those who can’t stomach the idea of putting together their socks with their underwear, or anything else with their underwear, for that matter). The innovative Samsonite Bridge Wheel Handle System–basically big, sturdy wheels that don’t wobble at every turn–allows for greater stability and manouverability. Other common features include leather address tag, mounted combination locks, product guarantees that are stored in their own holding pockets, hangers and garment bags in the bigger—sized suitcases.
The Samsonite Black Label collection doesn’t only jazz up your check-in ritual, but your entire travel experience. The luxe label also serves up bags in various styles and sizes. The Samsonite Black Label 1700 line carries duffel bags and smaller satchels that can be carried on—board or used for overnight trips. Organizer beauty cases and toilet kits in two sizes take care of personal essentials. The SBL 1800 series fulfils the needs of the business traveller with sleek portfolio briefcases, garment bags, and laptop cases.
The next time the jetsetting bug bites, choose quality, fine detail and durability to accompany you on your trip. Samsonite Black Label assures a better travel experience where your agent can’t.
The Samsonite Black Label boutiques are located at the Power Plant Mall, Rockwell Center, and Podium Mall, Ortigas Center.
