US. Leading luggage company Samsonite and British fashion designer Alexander McQueen have joined forces to create a luxury travel bag collection, to be available in-store from February 2007.

The Samsonite Black Label by Alexander McQueen collaboration brings together inspiration and ideas from McQueen’s life and travels.

The designs contrast tradition and modernity and are said to fuse nature and technology. Patterns and designs found in nature are brought to life using the latest technological know-how. The ergonomic collection features natural shapes and curves.

Commmenting on the new collection, McQueen said: “I was really inspired by the idea of developing my own take on luggage – to be able to rise to the challenge of working in a new arena. And I am always interested in learning from new technical expertise.”

Samsonite has a rich history of partnering with some of the world's most interesting and well-respected designers. When the time came to launch a new collaboration, thoughts turned to the man who is probably the world's most influential fashion designer - Alexander McQueen.

The McQueen brand is defined by the juxtaposition of tradition with technology; the idea of romance, nature, the influence of arts and crafts, together with edgy tailoring and a futuristic aesthetic. When brought together with Samsonite Black Label's values of luxury and style, and an unrivalled 97-year heritage of function and durability, the result is a unique collection of luxury travel items that not only meet the demands of modern travel but also one that applies the McQueen values to luggage for the very first time.
