I nostri marchi: American Tourister

Founded in 1933 in Providence, Rhode Island, by Sol Koffler, American Tourister was established with the ambitious goal of creating durable and affordable luggage. The first product, sold for the symbolic price of one dollar, marked the beginning of a long tradition of innovation in the luggage industry.

Over the years, the brand has evolved, introducing lightweight and durable solutions—such as the Hi-Taper line in 1945—and becoming a pioneer in the use of thermoformed materials in the 1950s. In 1993, American Tourister was acquired by Astrum International, which later changed its name to Samsonite Corporation, further consolidating its global presence.
