Samsonite x Manish Malhotra, a limited-edition capsule, brought the impossible to our shores by reimagining travel through couture codes. It includes grooved shells, glossy finishes, engraved trims, and floral-motif linings that feel more atelier than aisle seat.

It joins an impressive travel lineage that began with Samsonite’s Black Label era and evolved into the hype-fuelled age of Rimowa, Globe‑Trotter, and TUMI. Each collaboration turns utility into art, pushing luggage from necessity to collectable.

And for some, the suitcase became a story. Dior carved its Oblique motif into aluminium. Off-White made transparency a statement. Supreme made airport queues feel like streetwear drops. Together, they redefined what it means to travel in style.

Here are the collabs that turned baggage into bragging rights. (Note: Pricing is approximate, as many pieces are rare to find now and resale values vary.)
