Features of Samsonite backpacks

The modern backpack is a stylish everyday accessory that suits both men and women. You can choose a solid, larger model as an alternative to a business briefcase, or an option with an original design instead of a handbag. Samsonite has backpacks for every taste: classic, sports, with interesting features, teenagers and children.

The history of the company is quite long - more than 100 years ago. The founder of the company Jesse Schweider was engaged in the production of accessories for the transportation of luggage. At first, these were wooden chests, then suitcases appeared, including on wheels, models with locks and reinforced protection, lightweight options.

People don't always travel with a lot of things, so the company also started producing Samsonite backpacks for those who prefer to move around light. Later, everyday urban models appeared, as well as children's accessories.

The products are manufactured in Europe. At the moment, the company has two production facilities.

• Belgium, Oudenarde. This is a large-scale factory that grew out of a small workshop. Today, the plant uses advanced technologies to create reliable and high-quality products.
• Hungary, Szekszard. The factory opened in 2017, which made it possible to significantly increase production capacity and the volume of goods produced.

Samsonite uses quality materials and reliable fittings. In addition, the products undergo a real test for durability:

• Leakage tester simulates rain to make sure the waterproof backpack does not leak water;
• zippers and buttons open 5,000 times, and they are also affected by a special device that tries to break the slider;
• fabrics are tested for durability.

There are also various tests for stretching, shock, falling and other mechanical stress. The most serious tests are carried out by models designed for travel and transporting equipment. At the same time, everyday backpacks can be less durable, not designed for an increased load.

The company offers a fairly impressive assortment, which is regularly replenished and updated, so it is not difficult to choose a travel or city accessory, a laptop model, a backpack-bag or a schoolbag for a schoolchild. The colors can be classic: black, blue, gray, white, there are also bright options: red, yellow, purple.

It is also worth removing removable parts, hooks, and removing the rigid frame. If the backpack smells unpleasant, you can soak it in water and baking soda or a mild vinegar solution for about an hour and a half.

It is worth following certain recommendations so as not to accidentally damage your favorite accessory:

• select the delicate wash mode and the minimum water temperature;
• it is better to put the backpack in a special bag or an old pillowcase - this way it will beat less against the drum walls;
• use a gel - it is completely washed out and does not leave streaks, unlike ordinary powder;
• you cannot wring out the backpack in a typewriter - dry it only on a rope in a straightened form.

Some items need to be cleaned with care. Do not use aggressive alkaline products to avoid damaging the fabric. If you need a stain remover, choose one that does not contain bleach. The backpack can be cleaned with a brush, sponge or rag. It is not recommended to crumple or twist it. After washing, the product must be rinsed and hung up to dry.
