The next generation of professionals want staples that can support them through work trips and personal vacations. But alongside practicality, they’re also looking for pieces that can help them travel in style. Samsonite has redefined on-the-go essentials since 1910, but now the brand puts a modern spin on its travel icons with the UNDERSCORE collection.
The collection features two backpacks, a laptop portfolio, a crossbody bag and a clutch bag, offering a wide range of sizes for more casual trips or longer vacations. Though the pieces vary in function, they are connected by distinct stylistic accents. Samsonite’s signature brand color is a striking blue, which is featured in a visually-appealing stripe on each accessory.
Adventure is also at the heart of the collection. A buckle element draws inspiration from an airplane seatbelt buckle and graces the front of each bag. This motif also represents the brand’s passion for exploration. Beyond these accents, the UNDERSCORE collection implements a variety of materials and textures for versatility and modernity. Balanced and rugged in look and feel, the bags also have easy-access pockets and ample packing capacity for practical utility.
The UNDERSCORE collection was crafted with as much attention to material and production as to aesthetics. Each bag’s exterior is made from recycled nylon and post-consumer leather by weight, repurposed from everyday items like shoes and sofas. Inside, the zipper tapes and teeth may appear standard, but they’re actually made from 100% post-consumer recycled polyester. By blending style, function and sustainability, these bags let you travel with a lighter footprint — and in style.
