Samsonite x Kenny Scharf: Where Art and Travel Collide in an Exclusive Collection

Samsonite, a globally acclaimed luggage brand, introduces a new capsule collection inspired by internationally renowned artist Kenny Scharf.

Appealing to both art enthusiasts and travellers with an appreciation for pop culture, this remarkable Kenny Scharf luggage edition is set to be the ultimate travel companion, destined to become a coveted collector’s item cherished for its distinctive design.

Through this exciting collection, Samsonite continues to connect the world of Art and Travel in a unique way with this association with Kenny Scharf.

Kenny Scharf, self-described “pop surrealist”, is an American artist known for his dynamic and vividly colourful creations in painting, sculpture, and performance art.

His distinctive style blends elements of pop culture, surrealism, and fantastical, colourful imagery, creating a unique and whimsical visual language. His dynamic and joyous art often features anthropomorphic blobs, which are now innovatively applied on the suitcase shells to create an eye-catching and bold statement while travelling.

Scharf’s work has been exhibited in numerous prestigious galleries and museums all over the world, making him an indispensable artist in the contemporary art world.

The collection features Kenny Scharf’s vibrant artwork embellishing Samsonite’s iconic C-lite suitcase. Made with CURV® material, the C-lite collection is incredibly lightweight, yet extremely strong. Furthermore, this made in Europe collection ensures a smooth travel experience offering double wheels and an elongated double pull handle.

The Samsonite x Kenny Scharf capsule collection comes in three sizes: 20”, 25”, and 28”. These options cater to travellers’ needs for both long and short trips. The range offers flexibility and convenience, ensuring travellers can enjoy every journey.

From now until October 7, the Samsonite x Kenny Scharf C-Lite luggage collection will be available for exclusive purchase at Samsonite ifc Mall and the Hong Kong official online store. Starting October 8, the collection will be released simultaneously at other designated retail locations.

This project was done in collaboration with Artestar, a global licensing agency and creative consultancy representing high-profile artists, photographers, designers, and creatives.
