Samsonite has launched their Black Label Boutique store at the Dubai Festival City.

President and CEO, Samsonite, Marcello Bottoli inaugurated the store as a show of commitment to the UAE and continuous growth in region. For 97 years, Samsonite has delivered consistently the founding principles of fine craftsmanship, quality materials, experience and individual style, said an official spokesman.

The 2007 collections including the Black Label line combine this unrivalled history with the style and design credentials of Samsonite today to create the most exciting and diverse collections to date. 

Two influential global brands Samsonite and Alexander McQueen have joined forces and combined the best in craftsmanship and innovation to create a revolution at the cutting edge of luxury travel design.

The result is a totally unique collection of travel pieces that fuses nature and technology. Patterns and designs inspired by nature have been brought to life using the latest technological know how.

Samsonite Black Label by Alexander McQueen is an ergonomic collection featuring natural shapes and curves that look revolutionary against the traditional hard lines of luggage.

A sophisticated re-interpretation of nature with a unique, modern design edge resulting in a totally unique collection consisting of travel pieces, bags and accessories.

Travel places two sets of demands on your feet. Firstly, a comfort factor as they expand or contract depending on physical or environmental factors. Second, a style factor because the journey of the sophisticated traveller requires multiple styles adapted to different occasions.

Samsonite Black Label Ultimate Travel Shoe Collection represents a unique and proprietary solution to both.

Designed by Samsonite Creative Director Quentin Mackay, together with leading Italian shoe designer Alberto del Biondi, the collection is formed from panels of fine Italian leather that are joined together by a subtle seam of unique stretchable breathable fabric.

This means that as feet expand or contract with travel, the shoes will expand or contract with them. This subtle linkage system, when combined with elastic laces, straps and linings mean that the shoe will seamlessly expand by up to half a size.

Both collections are crossover, marrying the benefits of trainers with smart leather shoes, all with the ability to deliver style and relevance in a variety of situations.- TradeArabia News Service
