Samsonite Unveils Kenny Scharf-Inspired Luggage Collection

Samsonite has introduced a new luggage collection featuring designs inspired by pop surrealist artist Kenny Scharf. The collection includes the C-Lite Carry-On Spinner and the C-Lite Large Spinner, both adorned with Scharf's distinctive alien-like figures.

Kenny Scharf, born in Los Angeles in 1958, is renowned for his vibrant and surreal works that blend elements of pop culture and street art. Emerging from the 1980s East Village art scene in New York alongside contemporaries like Keith Haring and Jean-Michel Basquiat, Scharf is known for his playful, cartoon-like imagery inspired by 1960s television shows, science fiction, and everyday objects. His art challenges traditional boundaries between high and low culture, infusing humor and positivity into his pieces. Scharf's work has been exhibited worldwide, establishing him as a significant figure in contemporary art.

The Kenny Scharf collection is available on Samsonite's website, with prices ranging from $550 to $650 USD.
