American Tourister is a luggage brand that designs and markets travel cases and bags for a broad audience of travelers. It emphasizes durability and functional design to support use on trips. Founded in 1933, the company is based in Oudenaarde, Flanders, Belgium, and its history includes introducing a pioneering moulded luggage format and conducting tests with flight attendants from major airlines to assess performance in real-world conditions. Since its 1993 acquisition by Samsonite, American Tourister has extended its reach to younger families and budget-conscious travelers as part of a larger brand portfolio. In 2026, the company launched Velox, a new luggage line described as featuring a durable yet lightweight shell and a book-opening structure intended to ease packing.
