Known around the globe for its blend of style and strength, American Tourister has been creating luggage for more than 90 years.
Its Applite range has been a worldwide best-seller for years, thanks to its practicality, feather-light build and clever features.
Now, the cult-favourite suitcase has had a refresh, and the new pink version is already shaping up to be a season favourite for Aussie travellers.
The Applite 5 range is designed with ultra-light tech materials, meaning you won’t be wasting precious baggage allowance on a heavy case.
The exterior and interior fabrics are crafted from recycled plastic bottles, making it an eco-conscious choice as well.
Each size comes with smart design details like packing straps and zipped dividers to keep clothes neat and organised, while the larger check-in cases include expandable compartments for that inevitable last-minute shopping spree.
Security has also been thought of. The check-in sizes come with a Duosaf security zipper, giving travellers extra peace of mind while their belongings make the journey from check-in desk to baggage carousel.
There’s also a handy lockable front pocket on all sizes, making it easy to stash essentials you need quick access to.
The new Lilas pink colourway brings a playful twist to the classic Applite design. It’s fresh, feminine and makes spotting your suitcase at baggage claim that little bit easier.
It joins the existing colour line-up of black, grey, navy and varsity green, but it’s safe to say pink is the standout of the collection.
Prices start from $235 for the 55cm spinner, with the 72cm coming in at $310 and the 82cm at $335. For travellers planning a big summer of trips, investing in a matching set might be the way to go.
The release also comes alongside American Tourister’s new national campaign, It Can Take It, featuring Aussie indie rock favourites Middle Kids.
The campaign leans into the brand’s long-standing values of durability, originality and fun, showing off just how tough the luggage really is while capturing the excitement of travel.
Whether you are planning a quick weekend away, a beach holiday or something more adventurous, the Applite 5 lilas pink is designed to be the perfect travel companion.
Durable enough to survive the rough and tumble of airports, lightweight enough to make travel easier, and stylish enough to earn compliments, it ticks all the boxes for the holiday season.
So if you are dreaming of long summer getaways, now is the time to level up your travel gear with a suitcase that is as reliable as it is good-looking.
After all, travel is meant to be fun, and your luggage colour can be too.
