Luggage bag lost its wheel to live? Trade it for a 40% discount from Samsonite!

If you have an old bag that’s not your mother-in-law lying around the house, it might be your ticket to a hefty discount on a brand-new Samsonite bag.

Yup, from March 20th – May 1st 2023, you can head over to any Samsonite store and trade in any old travel bag for 30% off their OC2LITE collection or 40% off their ENOW collection. You can also buy the bags online and drop off the old one at the closest store as well.

Price-wise, the OC2LITE will cost RM909.30 while the ENOW costs RM1,199.40, both after their respective discounts.  Both are available in 3 sizes, with a different choice of colors available for each range. You can check out more details for each bag on their website or, y’know, pop by your closest Samsonite store.

Your old bag will be recycled responsibly

This trade-in campaign is part of Samsonite’s support of WWF-Malaysia’s Earth Hour, in which they’ll also be donating RM10 to WWF Malaysia for every bag traded in.

If you’ve ever been curious what companies do with the old stuff that you trade in, well, we were too. So we asked Samsonite, and here’s their reply:

The collected pre-loved luggage from our customers (of any brand/condition/size) will be disposed of ethically by SisaLab.

SisaLab is a platform that not only collects recyclables from consumers and companies, but also allows users to keep track of what happens to them after they’ve been picked up. In other words, you’ll know that the company isn’t just doing it for CSR clout and throwing everything into the trash behind the scenes. You can also download SisaLab’s app for your own recyclables at home.

To test it out, this writer brought his hamchoi luggage bag that he kept for sentimental reasons. It was scruffy, had a broken handle, and didn’t roll properly – you might say that it lost its’ wheel to live a long time ago. So we rolled carried it into a Samsonite store, viewed both the models on display, made a choice, and rolled out with our brand-new ENOW. It was our first time ever handling a Samsonite bag, so we just wanna say that the wheels are smooooooooooooth.

The very nice lady at the store also took the time to explain the differences between the two models and that they actually accept any type of luggage bag including canvas sling bags.

You can trade-in your old bag anytime from now till May 1st 2023. Mothers-in-law still not accepted. Sorry.
