Victorinox has been making Swiss Army knives since 1897. We all love them. The red handy pocket knife with a bottle opener, scissors, pliers, everything but the kitchen sink. Known for great value for your money and long lasting quality products, Victorinox branched out into luggage in 1999.
The Victorinox line of luggage such as wheeled luggage, tote bags, duffel bags, carry-ons, garment bags, briefcases, messenger bags, laptop cases, fanny packs, backpacks, security belts and locks, toiletry holders, umbrellas, accessories and so on has exploded onto the travel gear scene.
Victorinox Swiss Army luggage does a huge business in travel gear items. Knife sales are dwarfed in comparison but still remain extremely important to Victorinox. After all, it all started with a little red knife. Victorinox will continue to innovate and produce quality Swiss Army Knives, but it is a brand that has grown into a lifestyle. Victorinox has watches, kitchen cutlery, multitools, apparel and travel gear under its vast product line. All are over-engineered and of the highest quality.
In terms of luggage, there are basically three collections:
1. Tourbach
2. Mobilizer NXT
3. Werks Traveller
Tourbach is the top of the line, Mobilizer NXT is the mid-range for the frequent business traveller, and Werks is the entry level. It all depends on your budget, but most sales are in the entry level works line. Most people figure, why not? All pieces have a lifetime warranty, so they will tend to buy the most economical. Pieces do start in the 0's, but in the long run, it is much cheaper to buy Victorinox luggage than to buy cheap, poorly made luggage that you have to replace over and over again due to quality issues. Victorinox will last you a lifetime. You might end up buying replacement luggage in the Victorinox line because you get tired of looking at the same rugged pieces of luggage! This stuff is sturdy and guaranteed to last.
A lifetime warranty is available and guarantees the travel products to be free from manufacturing defects in material and workmanship. Normal wear and tear is not covered, but there are generous options available for repair or refurbishing directly from the factory. Victorinox is a world famous, old brand and they have customer service and warranty down pat. You won't be disappointed in a Victorinox product purchase.
If you have a need for any sort of travel gear or accessory, next time give Victorinox a try. You probably didn't even know they made so many things besides knives these days.
Victorinox is even so protective with their brand, that they only allow a handful of trusted merchants to sell their travel gear products online. They have pre-screened online merchants for you so you know that you will have a good experience before you begin.
