Essens Collection: Durable Design. Smarter Packing. Less Waste.
Essens is a modern Samsonite suitcase collection built around durability, practical organisation and more responsible material choices. Its outer shell is made with at least 70% recycled polypropylene from post-consumer waste, such as yoghurt cups, transforming single-use plastic waste into strong, lightweight luggage. The interior lining and webbing are also made with high levels of post-consumer recycled PET, supporting a more considered approach to travel design.
Made in Europe, Essens reflects Samsonite’s focus on lasting quality and reliable engineering. Green electricity is used for the shell production and final product assembly, while the suitcase itself is designed for long-term use, easy repairability and dependable travel performance.
Organisation is another major strength. The 3-in-1 packing solution includes two removable, hand-washable packing cubes with carry handles. Travellers can pack inside the cubes, store items underneath them and adjust the cube height using the bayonet system. If you prefer not to unpack fully, simply lift the packing cube and place it directly into a wardrobe or closet.
With its zipper design, 3-point lock system and durable build, Essens is made for travellers who want security, convenience and smarter packing in one suitcase.
Why Essens Is More Sustainable?
Essens supports more sustainable travel through material choice, production methods and repairability. The suitcase shells are made with at least 70% recycled polypropylene from post-consumer waste, including items such as yoghurt cups. The interior lining is made with 97% post-consumer recycled PET, while the interior webbing is made with 100% post-consumer recycled PET.
The collection is made in Europe, where green electricity is used for shell production and final product assembly. Essens is also designed for durability and easier repairs, helping extend the life of the suitcase and reduce the need for early replacement.
This combination of recycled materials, long-term quality and repair-friendly design makes Essens a more considered choice for travellers who want strong luggage with a lower-impact approach.
3-in-1 Packing Solution
Essens is designed with a flexible 3-in-1 packing solution that helps travellers organise their suitcase more efficiently. The two removable packing cubes are spacious, hand-washable and easy to lift thanks to carry handles on both sides.
You can pack inside the cubes, place items underneath them or adjust their height with the bayonet system. This gives you more control over how you separate clothing, shoes, accessories and travel essentials. When you arrive, you can lift the entire packing cube out of the suitcase and place it directly into the closet, making unpacking faster and easier.
Top-Notch Security
Essens uses an innovative 3-point lock system to help keep your belongings secure throughout the journey. Originally patented by Samsonite and continuously optimised, this zipperless locking system gives travellers peace of mind without relying on a traditional zipper closure.
This makes Essens a practical choice for travellers who want strong suitcase security, especially for checked travel, international trips and longer journeys.
Easily Repaired for Longer Use
Essens is designed with repairability in mind. In the unlikely event that a component needs attention, selected suitcase parts can be replaced more easily. The wheel is designed so it can be disassembled and repaired, helping extend the usable life of the suitcase.
This repair-friendly approach supports Samsonite’s focus on durable products, long-term value and more responsible travel design.
Samsonite Essens collection ideal for travellers who prefer a zipper suitcase, want better interior organisation and value long-term product durability.
