Our Legacy
Celebrating a quarter century of innovation, Travelpro® has prided itself on design, durability

modern-day travel.
From garment bags and suitcases to executive/computer briefs, rolling duffels, totes and
backpacks, Travelpro® has long been a brand of choice for more than 500,000 flight crews
and frequent travelers worldwide. Even today, the Travelpro® customer appreciates the
outstanding durability, practical functionality and stylish innovations that is the Travelpro®
legacy.
