Eminent Luggage Australia | New Collection Guide
Eminent luggage has landed at Tosca, and it comes in four different collections. Each one is built the same careful way, but each is made for a different kind of traveller.
Eminent has been making luggage for more than 40 years. Unlike a lot of luggage brands, Eminent makes and tests its own suitcases instead of paying another factory to do it.
Every Eminent suitcase goes through 35 separate quality checks before it's allowed to leave the factory. Eminent ships out more than 1.6 million suitcases around the world every year.

Made by People Who Know Luggage
A lot of luggage brands design a suitcase and then send the plans to a factory somewhere else to build it. Eminent does things differently. Eminent is a family-owned company, and it designs, builds and tests every suitcase itself.
That hands-on control is why the details hold up: how tough the case is, how light it feels to carry, how well it's organised inside, and how easily it rolls.
Depending on the collection, Eminent builds its hard suitcases from one of three materials: Makrolon polycarbonate, which is a strong hard plastic, TPO, which is a lighter, more flexible plastic, or polypropylene, a durable plastic known for its impact resistance.

Eminent Alfred
A smarter way to open your suitcase
Eminent Alfred is made from 100% Makrolon polycarbonate, so it's built to last. Its best feature is a lid that opens 90 degrees at the top, so you can grab what you need without unpacking the whole case.
It also stretches to fit more, rolls on shock-absorbing spinner wheels, and comes with a 10 year worldwide warranty.
Alfred comes in a 54cm Small Carry On, a 66cm Medium and a 76cm Large, in Dove Grey, Olive Green and Black.
Eminent Kapstadt
Sleek looks that still hold up
Eminent Kapstadt pairs a smart, modern look with tough 100% Makrolon polycarbonate. It rolls easily, keeps your packing organised inside, and locks securely with a TSA-approved lock.
Kapstadt comes in a 55cm Small Carry On, a 66cm Medium and a 77cm Large, plus a matching 3 Piece Set, in Champagne, Carbon Grey and Black.
Eminent Kimono
Light, tough, and backed by extra cover
Eminent Kimono is made from TPO, an eco-friendly plastic that's lighter than a standard hard case but just as tough. Each suitcase rolls quietly on four wheels, locks with a built-in TSA combination lock, and has two organised packing sections inside.
Kimono comes with a 10 Year Worldwide Warranty, plus a bonus 2 Year Warranty just for cracks in the outer shell.
It comes in a 55cm Small Carry On, a 67cm Medium and a 78cm Large, plus a matching 3 Piece Set, in Blue and Graphite.
Eminent Vertica
Distinctive styling with extra security built in
Eminent Vertica is made from 100% premium polypropylene, giving it distinctive European-inspired styling along with durable, dependable construction. It rolls on four double 360° spinner wheels for smooth manoeuvrability, and its multi-stage telescopic handle adjusts easily to your height.
Vertica stands out for its enhanced locking system, with a central TSA-approved combination lock plus two additional side locks for extra stability and security. Inside, the fully lined interior offers two spacious packing compartments with zipped mesh storage, packing straps and a smaller pocket to keep things organised.
Vertica comes with a 10 Year Worldwide Warranty, plus a bonus 2 Year Warranty against outer shell cracking.
It comes in a 54cm Small Carry On, a 68cm Medium and a 76cm Large, plus a matching 3 Piece Set, in Raven Grey and Linen.
Polycarbonate vs TPO vs Polypropylene: What's the Difference
Alfred and Kapstadt are made from 100% Makrolon polycarbonate, a hard, stiff plastic that's great at bouncing back from knocks.
Kimono uses TPO instead, a softer, more flexible plastic that weighs less. Vertica uses polypropylene, a durable plastic prized for its impact resistance and used here alongside an enhanced central and side-locking system for extra security.
If staying under a strict airline weight limit matters most to you, look at the TPO Kimono collection. If you want the toughest possible case for rough baggage handling, go with a polycarbonate collection like Kapstadt. If extra security on top of durability is your priority, Vertica's added locks are worth a look.
