Collection: Samsonite
Founded in Denver in 1910, Samsonite is recognized worldwide as a pioneer in travel goods and luggage innovation. Beyond its iconic suitcases, the brand ventured into fashion during the 1990s and 2000s with the creation of Samsonite Black Label and Samsonite Travelwear, lines that merged the brand’s expertise in durability with a more style-driven and technical approach.
The Travelwear line, developed under the creative direction of Neil Barrett, marked a turning point for Samsonite. Known for his sharp tailoring and technical sensibility, Barrett reimagined travel clothing as minimalist, functional, and performance-oriented. Jackets, coats, and modular garments were designed with the same principles as Samsonite’s luggage—resilience, adaptability, and timeless design—while Black Label offered more premium and experimental pieces, often through limited collaborations.
Today, Samsonite archive clothing from the Black Label and Travelwear collections is highly sought after by collectors of technical fashion and rare design collaborations. From minimalist outerwear to modular travel gear, these garments embody a unique chapter in the brand’s history, where Samsonite fused its philosophy of endurance with Barrett’s progressive vision of utility, mobility, and modern elegance.
