Speaking about the new campaign, Suresh Menon, CEO, Samsonite South Asia said, “Brand American Tourister has always been a unique blend of toughness and international class. It is our constant endeavour to bring out the best product range at a competitive price, without compromising on quality. The latest television commercial portrays how American Tourister bags and backpacks flawlessly reflect your stylish personality and ensures a ‘heads turning’ effect. I am certain that this campaign will take American Tourister’s image and equity to a new level.”
The campaign showcases four different situations where young adults show glimpses of their attitude towards travel and life. These incidents range from them being fashionably late to lost and from being independent to friendly, in the context of American Tourister.
The first film, ‘Fashionably Lost’ begins with people boarding a ferry. It then starts disembarking from the jetty and at that moment someone throws an American Tourister bag on to the deck. The viewer then sees a young woman business executive jumping across onto the ferry and picking the bag leaving the passengers amazed.

The second film, ‘Fashionably Friendly’ opens to a bus stop on a sunny day. A girl and a boy are awaiting the bus; the boy has an American Tourister suitcase that he uses to seat himself alongside the road while the girl is envying him. He later subtly offers his luggage to seat the girl and befriends her.

Speaking about the campaign, Pallavi Chakravarti, creative director at Taproot India said, “Being fashionable isn’t just about sporting the latest trends. It’s about being fun, young-at-heart and slightly quirky. It reflects on everything you do, even if it is the most mundane, everyday task. And a stylishly designed American Tourister bag or backpack is the ideal companion for people who ’live fashionable’.”
