Features

Xtend® was built around a great team :

Koert has been a Samsonite advisor for many years, Andrea was a product manager for Victorinox,Kelvin, Sam & Woody have been manufacturing luggage for over 20 years,Florent is the IoT & Bluetooth® guru, Nathalie, mother of the customer service team, expedites all ordersMarie-Alix, webmaster and PR manager Louis & Jérôme, the 2 founders who express the need for a new generation of luggage Jean-Marc, Frédéric, Fabien, Michel & Augustin, our strategic advisors.

The biggest problem in travelling is having to own two separate bags for check-in and carry-on, and having constantly decide between the two of them. Do I need the small bag, the big bag, or both? Now here’s is our thought.What if you could have a bag that grows and shrinks in size to fit both the needs?

We’ve seen bags expanding to allow extra storage, but nothing quite like this. The XTEND’s bag literally shrinks vertically in size to meet carry-on dimension requirements, and then expands for when you want a large bag to check-in. One bag literally fits all situations by being compact when you want it, and spacious when you need it. The XTEND does this using a collapsible inner ‘belt’ or zone, that when opened out, makes the bag up to 50% larger.

Aside from its shape-shifting abilities, it outdoes itself with additional features, including 2 concealed laptop hatches (one for 12″ and another for 15″ laptops), a separate compartment for shoes/magazines/jackets, an in-built power strip featuring 2 USB + 1 Micro USB sockets, armed with a generous 20,000 mAh battery, powerful enough to charge not just your phones and tablets, but even your laptop! Plus, you’ll be impressed by the number of accessories that come along with the suitcase. The XTEND even features bio-metric locking! Which means if your bag ever gets tossed prematurely off the conveyor belt, its contents can’t be accessed without the correct finger-print. The XTEND may just be the most superior, user-centric, consciously designed piece of luggage so far… and that’s saying a lot.

The Scoop

THE FANTASTIC STORY OF THE XTEND® SUITCASE

This venture is the story of two friends who had a dream and decided to make it real together.

This smart suitcase has already won the Innovation Award at the TGA show in April 2017 for its sleek design and innovative engineering.

We all travel. As this technological world advances, it seems we travel more and more. Yet why, when technology has changed so much, have our suitcases stayed the same? We’re here to help your suitcase catch up to 2018.

Meet the Xtend® Carry-on, the World’s most spacious, SMART suitcase.

We have added pockets exactly where you need them, added a huge power pack with all USB sockets formats for all your devices, opening with fingerprint – no glitchy app. Last but not least, we think that its disruptive design is a trend setter. Travel, simply.

We both travel with samples and documentation. Which means a carry-on is not big enough. But on the way back home, the bigger suitcase is not needed any longer, except that you still have to check it in. Unless we have a Xtend® that retracts to cabin size to let us return home fast. And it works the other way around too !

The origin: a foldable baby carry-cot for traveler

Having invented, designed and manufactured the Magicbed®, a disruptive award-winning baby travel cot that sets up in seconds, now available under the AEROMOOV® brand, the two inventers “on-the-go” had the idea to make a suitcase for parents that turns into a baby cot when needed. With a total of 9 kids for the two of them, they have been faced with all hiccups of the parenthood. During the initial steps of the creation process , the idea of a carry-on suitcase that can expand – just as the travel cot was being engineered – became the obvious thing to do. Jerome and Louis started this new path, encouraged by their advisors and friends, and recruited an international team of designers to create the next generation of luggage for this century.
