Differentiation Strategy

Targets the premium market by using superior materials like 100% Polycarbonate, an aluminum frame, and leather accents.

Replaces the zipper closure with a more secure and high-end aluminum frame and latch lock system, offering a distinct functional and aesthetic difference.

Focuses on luxury details, such as silent-run wheels, leather-wrapped handles, and a premium interior with a compression system, justifying a higher price point.

Differentiates through a refined, minimalist design with a sophisticated texture, appealing to a jet-setter who views luggage as a statement piece.

Success Replication

Builds upon the core success of a lightweight, durable, and stylish hardside carry-on.

Elevates the maneuverability, a key selling point of the reference, by using top-of-the-line, silent-run spinner wheels.

Maintains a sleek, modern, and minimalist aesthetic that appeals to trend-conscious travelers, but in a more luxurious execution.

Focuses on the carry-on format, recognizing the continued demand from frequent flyers and luxury travelers for premium cabin luggage.
