If you’re a frequent traveller, you know the struggle—finding a suitcase that’s lightweight yet tough enough to survive cobblestone streets, and the occasional tumble down an escalator.

That’s where Samsonite’s VS Series (the brand’s most iconic suitcases) the C-Lite and Proxis, undergo extreme strength tests to prove they can handle just about anything.

Samsonite has long been at the forefront of luggage innovation, and a big part of that comes down to the materials they use.

Their suitcases aren’t just designed to look sleek; they’re engineered with cutting-edge materials that combine durability with an ultra-lightweight feel.

Originally used in high-performance gear like ballistic vests and sports helmets, Curv material is abrasion-resistant, impact-proof, and incredibly lightweight.

Samsonite became the first brand to adopt it for luggage back in 2008, and it’s since become a defining feature of their premium collections.

Thanks to the mid season sale, you can take up to 40 per cent off best-selling cases.

Roxkin strength

Another standout material is Roxkin, developed exclusively by Samsonite.

Taking inspiration from bamboo, its multi-layered structure builds strength without compromising flexibility.

This means your suitcase can take a beating — getting squashed, tossed, and bumped — yet still bounce back into shape without cracking or breaking.

The VS series

Through the Samsonite VS Series, the brand showcases just how tough its luggage really is.

The C-Lite and Proxis undergo rigorous durability tests, proving their resilience under extreme conditions.

From high-impact stress tests to endurance trials, these suitcases aren’t just made to last — they’re built to thrive in the most demanding travel situations.

C-Lite

One of Samsonite’s most recognisable collections, the C-Lite, is getting a fresh update with a limited-edition Metallic Green colourway launching this March.

Designed and made in Europe, the C-Lite is crafted from woven Curv material, making it both ultra-light and impressively strong.

Key Features of the C-Lite:

• Shock-absorbing, self-reinforced shell.
• Double pull handle for effortless control.
• Smooth-rolling double wheels for seamless manoeuvrability.
• Crafted from woven Curv material for durability and lightness.

New C-Lite colours tend to sell out fast, so if you’re looking for a suitcase that blends style, strength, and travel ease, the Metallic Green edition is one to snap up while you can.

Invest in luggage that goes the distance

Whether you’re a jet-setter or an occasional traveller, investing in high-quality luggage can make all the difference.

With the Samsonite VS Series, you’re not just getting a suitcase — you’re getting a travel companion that’s built to withstand the journey, no matter where it takes you.
