Luggage, Backpack
& Bag
QUALITY CONTROL,
TESTING AND AUDITS

When consumers are travelling, they expect far more from their bags than adequate storage. Suitcases and backpacks are not simply vessels for carrying possessions and souvenirs – they’re also fashionable accessories and dependable companions throughout a journey. 

Function and quality are therefore absolutely paramount. Luggage of all kinds must be durable and comply with legal safety standards, thus avoiding customer complaints and maintaining an effective, trustworthy brand image. This applies to holdalls, suite cases, cabin bags, wheeled cases and more.
