Samsonite is an iconic luggage brand established in the USA. The newest products in the Samsonite range are made from a proprietary material called cosmolite.
I have a samsonite esteem luggage set. The label indicates that is was made in 1992. It is a dark brocade pattern.
First of all, make sure you're buying the real thing. If you're not buying from an official Samsonite store, make sure the store is listed as an official retailer on Samsonite's website. Samsonite isn't necessarily much safer than another brand, but they advertise themselves as knowing what they're doing and making luggage for over 100 years. Most Samsonite luggage are made in China now, with good reason. There are Chinese factories that have been making Samsonite for decades, and match the expectations for quality that Samsonite expects, as well as having an experienced labor force better than many other countries with cheaper labor costs. You can buy cheap Samsonite that they made available at an entry level for bargain stores. Or you can buy their Black Label Cosmolite collection (made in Europe) at a premium price, and everything in between. Answer 2: I disagree. I've had some luggage and it has lasted far longer than other brands I've had. If you're looking to buy some, you can get yours where I got mine. I got my Samsonite luggage for a really good discount. I got mine at www.irvsluggage.com Answer 1: As much as any other luggage brand.

The company also has its own factories in Argentina, Belgium, Chile and China and three factories in China that manufacture exclusively for Samsonite Corporations" It seems all soft-side luggage is made in China, but some hard-side luggage (around 40%) from Samsonite ( is made in India. Good luck in your purchase of a non-Chinese luggage! I think that's a wise decision.
The best luggage is made of durable leather, but some are made of fabric and still last a long time.
The luggage sets are not tailored for men per se, however they are made of solid prints and leather which are unisex and can be used for either men or women. There are some pieces of luggage tailored specifically in floral patterns for women.
Whatever material the manufacturer uses. Camouflage patterns are typically a reflection of colored dyes, not of a specific material.
Since it is made from polycarbonate plastic, and not fabric, it is fairly durable and could stand up to being kicked.

Anything made by Tumi. That stuff is quality all the way! Our Samsonite set had heavy, but just cosmetic damage after one international trip (with layovers) .
