Eminent Luggage Australia | New Collection Guide
Eminent luggage has landed at Tosca, and it comes in five 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 two materials: Makrolon polycarbonate, which is a strong hard plastic, or TPO, which is a lighter, more flexible plastic.
Which Eminent Collection Is Right for You
Each Eminent collection puts one thing first, whether that's a low price, a light weight, good looks or years of proven toughness.

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 Fortress
A tried and tested favourite
Eminent Fortress has been one of Europe's top-selling suitcases for more than 25 years. It's made from 100% Makrolon polycarbonate, with extra padded corners for added strength.
Each case stretches to fit more, rolls smoothly and quietly on four wheels, and locks with a TSA-approved combination lock. Inside, two roomy sections with adjustable straps keep your things in place.
Fortress comes in a 53cm Small Carry On, a 66cm Medium and a 76cm Large, in 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 KK50
Built to be as light as possible
Eminent KK50 is made from an ultra-light compound TPO, a material chosen to keep the suitcase as light as it can be while still standing up to travel. It's a strong pick if you're always watching your airline's weight limit.
KK50 comes in a 55cm Small Carry On and a 76cm Large, in Black and Red.
Polycarbonate vs TPO: What's the Difference
Most Eminent collections use 100% Makrolon polycarbonate, a hard, stiff plastic that's great at bouncing back from knocks. It's the material behind Alfred, Fortress and Kapstadt.
Kimono and KK50 use TPO instead, a softer, more flexible plastic that weighs less. If staying under a strict airline weight limit matters most to you, look at a TPO collection like KK50. If you want the toughest possible case for rough baggage handling, go with a polycarbonate collection like Fortress or Kapstadt.
