Samsonite luggage sizes
Samsonite was founded in 1910 in Denver, Colorado, by Jesse Shwayder as the Shwayder Trunk Manufacturing Company, and adopted the Samsonite name in the 1940s for its tapered vulcanized fiber suitcases. It grew into the world's largest luggage maker by the 1970s. Its parent company, Samsonite International S.A., is registered in Luxembourg and listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, while Samsonite LLC's US operations are headquartered in Mansfield, Massachusetts. Samsonite is best known for hardside spinner suitcases, though its current lineup also includes softside spinners and dedicated underseat and personal item bags.
Samsonite's own product pages list two figures per case in inches: External Dimensions (labeled by Samsonite as including the handles and wheels) and Internal Dimensions (labeled as the case without handles or wheels, i.e. packing dimensions). Both are given as H x L x W on their spec tables; this file reorders each triple to l (longest) / w (middle) / h (shortest) regardless of Samsonite's own axis labels.
