Wherever your adventure takes you, make sure your belongings are packed in Eastpak’s Tranzshell range.
Embracing the world’s wonders has never been easier. Whether you’re taking the trip of a lifetime or heading off for a weekend break, the rewards of travel are all the more satisfying with the right kit. Serene beach or bustling metropolis, Eastpak’s sleek but sturdy Tranzshell cases are trusty companions regardless of your destination.

The urban explorer likes nothing more than the buzz of a sprawling city. Be it the Hausmannian boulevards of Paris, lively New York or the royally appointed riads of Marrakech, he wants to explore each city’s rich metropolitan fabric until he finds a tapestry of culture, cuisine, history and tradition. Armed with travel tips from trusted sources and limited time to fit it all in, the urban explorer is on a mission to make the most of every minute of the day.
Perfect for city breaks, Eastpak’s compact Tranzshell is the ultimate carry-on. Its lightweight structure – a hi-tech blend of foam and fabric – is tailor-made for shifting swiftly from the arrivals hall to taxi rank with its 360-degree wheeling system. It’s no pushover: the case’s durable outer is practically indestructible, while a sleek, black colourway will help the urban junkie effortlessly blend in wherever their lodgings.
The all-round adventurer

For those with more time on their hands, travelling is a pleasure worthy of a gentler pace, and to extract the best a destination has to offer requires logistical precision when it comes to packing. For a two-week getaway the all-round adventurer will want to take lightweight kit for lounging, performance gear for physical pursuits, a wardrobe fit for both beach and bar and sufficient reading material to last the duration. No two days will be the same, so packing for all eventualities is a must.
Eastpak’s large and small Tranzshell cases make a formidable team for a longer stay – stash one in the hold and take the other as a carry-on having filled it with in-flight essentials. Eastpak’s 15 years of luggage innovation has resulted in the Tranzshell’s robust outer, created with a hybrid of materials it’s tough enough to withstand unforgiving baggage handlers but lightweight enough for the customer to manage.
The off-piste traveller

Many begin their love affair with the wider world while backpacking the world’s farthest flung reaches. This off-piste traveller feeds off his spirit of adventure; he is used to acting on impulse and chasing new experiences. With that comes the uncertainty of what’s around the corner, so he needs luggage he can rely on. The Eastpak Tranzshell is the perfect companion for all eventualities.
Whether it’s scaling South America’s highest points, journeying to Africa’s little-known oases or documenting Southeast Asia’s culturally diverse communities, luggage as strong as your strength of character is a must. Eastpak’s Tranzshell cases tick every box: their sturdy foam and fabric structure is near indestructible meaning they will take whatever the world throws at them, while water-repellent materials, smooth-gliding wheels and secure locks and zips all make fitting attributes for a luggage range designed to endure as long as those memories.
