Samsonite Motus - Innovation Inspired by Performance

UAE, February 2015- Samsonite, the world’s leading travel brand, knows that elite travellers require luggage that can keep up with their fast-paced lifestyle. Motus, the sleek new collection from Samsonite Black Label, fits the bill. Inspired by high-performance racing cars, Motus offers innovative engineering and a patented design that enable you to get to your destination quickly – and in style.

Motus, which means “motion” in Spanish, is all about maximizing speed and performance while showcasing top-of-the-line technology and beautiful looks. The collection brings together the best components of hard- and soft-side luggage with innovative features such as its silent, shock-absorbing wheels and the patented handle that pops up automatically with just one touch. As in the best automobile design, less weight and sleek lines equal a smooth, fast ride.

With the needs of road warriors in mind, the Motus collection is comprised of five essential pieces: spinner luggage in three sizes as well as a briefcase and a laptop backpack. Each piece has been crafted from high-end materials that are hard wearing and long lasting. Available in modern, textured black nylon, Motus is instantly recognizable thanks to its curved gunmetal hardware and its luxurious leather-wrapped handles, which feature stitched details in racer red.

In his comments about the launch Jai Krishnan - Vice President Middle East, East Africa & SAARC at Samsonite said: “We are delighted to reveal Samsonite’s dynamic new luggage design ‘Motus’, which is a medley of style and top-of-the-line technology. Inspired by the high-performance racing cars, our design team has fashioned this sleek new collection with the best of materials to keep up with the fast-paced lifestyle of elite travellers. Samsonite’s pioneering design techniques will keep creating unforgettable travel experiences.”

Taking a page from motor-racing technology and renowned Italian design, Motus spinner luggage features patented all-direction wheels that absorb shock so that movement is swift, smooth and silent. The mono-tube handle not only offers a comfortable and ergonomic grip, but it also pops up automatically with one touch – rising slowly and smoothly - so you can be one your way. The patented handle’s unique housing has also been designed to take up minimal space.

The Motus collection also includes a briefcase and a laptop backpack, both of which also feature the red-and-black racing motif. Each offers secure, separated compartments for a laptop, tablet, and other electronic devices. The briefcase also comes with a detachable shoulder strap and offers lots of space for personal items and documents. Both pieces are ideal for easy carry-on use and life in the fast lane.
