Built with a brushed aluminium shell featuring a carbon fibre-inspired texture, the collection is designed for those who spend as much time at airports as they do at their destinations.

Genuine leather handles, reinforced corners, frame closures and dual TSA-approved combination locks are paired with practical features such as shock-absorbing wheels, a trolley system adjustable in 2-centimetre increments, anti-odour interior lining and a dedicated pocket for a Bluetooth tracker – when comfort met convenience!

Commenting on the launch, Shashank Kumar, Director and Country Head of DELSEY PARIS India, noted that since its foundation in 1946, “At DELSEY PARIS, our ‘Designed to Move You’ philosophy is rooted in the belief that great design should quietly elevate every journey.”

Hence, the company seeks a harmony that blends “innovation with real-life functionality to create luggage that adapts seamlessly to the way people travel.”
