American Tourister

Since 1933.

American Tourister is one of the most traditional brands in the industry. Today a partner company of the flagship Samsonite, American Tourister was founded as an independent company in the USA in 1933. What makes it special: Then as now, the products were developed in-house. The company has always placed particular emphasis on durability and stable designs. In this respect, the brand is considered a pioneer in the luggage industry. For example, American Tourister was the first provider in the world to use innovative injection molding processes to manufacture the outer hard shell of its suitcases. Despite its innovative spirit, the brand also attaches great importance to affordable products, as American Tourister sees itself as a provider of high-quality luggage for everyone. In addition to suitcases for travel and business, the traditional brand manufacturer's range also includes backpacks for a wide variety of uses as well as a large number of trolleys and travel bags. The designs range from bright or muted colors to eye-catching patterns and prints with comic themes.

A look at the range of small trolleys is striking: American Tourister trolleys are not only available in a wide variety of designs. They also have all the features for which the products of this brand manufacturer are known: robust workmanship, a sturdy exterior and high functionality. Many American Tourister trolleys are designed as so-called spinners. This means that they have four rotating wheels, which makes them particularly convenient to use. Many models of American Tourister travel bags also have wheels. This means that the large-format bags can be moved comfortably and effortlessly even over long distances at airports and train stations.

Hard shell: the materials of American Touristers bags and suitcases

To ensure the high quality and durability of its products, American Tourister uses state-of-the-art materials. For example, plastics such as ABS and polypropylene are used in the construction of the hard-shell cases and trolleys. These fibres are characterized by their light weight and very high density as well as scratch resistance. This results in a high level of break resistance and durability. American Tourister travel bags and backpacks, on the other hand, are designed to combine a robust surface with a flexible, soft construction. This is why materials such as nylon and polyester are used for these models.

The special theme: American Touristers Disney products

The US brand offers a particularly wide variety of Disney-themed products. However, anyone thinking only of Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck is missing the point: the Disney group has long since secured numerous other names - from Spiderman and Elsa the Ice Queen from the globally successful film Frozen / The Ice Queen to animated characters such as Cars and the superheroes from Marvel Legends. The selection of American Touristers Disney products is correspondingly diverse. The target group has also changed, because the luggage with Disney motifs is no longer just aimed at kids! In addition to children's backpacks, school bags, pencil cases and suitcases for children, American Tourister also has numerous models for adults with a soft spot for Disney-themed worlds in this segment.
