Important Notes
This suitcase comes backed by Samsonite’s industry-leading 10-year limited warranty, which covers manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship. Always verify current airline carry-on or checked baggage policies before travel, as size requirements may vary by carrier and are sometimes calculated using linear dimensions (height + width + depth) rather than individual measurements. The expansion feature provides extra packing capacity but should be used judiciously to avoid potential fees at certain airports. For maintenance, simply wipe the surface clean with a damp cloth—avoid submerging the suitcase in water. Please note: only one suitcase is included in the package; no additional accessories are provided unless explicitly stated.
