Chinese luggage brand Tuplus has released a new carbon fiber suitcase under its “Core” lineup. The 25-inch model, currently only available for sale in China, has front and back shells made of Maezio® thermoplastic composites from Covestro, boosting impact performance while elevating design and style.
Founded in 2015, Tuplus is a special travel brand for high-end suitcases that have carried off many international prizes including the Red Dot Design Award.
The new model features a creative multi-material design concept. The structural frame in the center is made of aluminum and magnesium alloy, while the front and back shells have been given the highly-coveted look of carbon fibers. It is also designed with an advanced lock system featuring the absence of rivets and screws, giving it a smooth, minimalist finish.
Despite the dramatic decrease in travel due to the corona crisis, Tuplus believes the travel industry will bounce back steadily as travel restrictions are eased in China and the world.
“People haven’t changed in that they still want to travel, but we need to adapt to the new times ahead and to the new needs of tourists to feel safer,” says Catherine Jiang, President & Ceo of Tuplus. “High-quality materials are always at the heart of our design concept because we know our customers rely on them for travel safety and security. Covestro’s Maezio® composites have allowed us to take advantage of the superior strength and premium value of carbon fiber, to offer our customers enhanced protection and an entirely new travel experience.”
