Bengaluru, India – 29th April 2026: Acer, one of the world’s leading technology brands, today announced its entry into India’s travel accessories segment with the launch of a new range of smart luggage gear. With a legacy spanning nearly five decades and a presence across more than 160 countries, Acer has established itself as a leader in delivering technology-led innovations that enhance everyday life. Building on this foundation, the company is now extending its expertise into the lifestyle category by introducing travel solutions that combine contemporary design, advanced materials, and functional utility for modern consumers on the move.
The launch in India introduces a diverse lineup of travel-ready luggage, which includes the Melbourne, Melbourne Plus, Barcelona, Copenhagen, Brisbane, and Predator. Available in multiple formats, including carry-on, medium, and large sizes, the portfolio is designed to cater to a wide range of travel needs from short business trips to long-haul vacations.
Designed for Convenience, Mobility, and Durability
The newly launched luggage portfolio integrates a range of design features that prioritize ease of use, storage efficiency, and durability. Across the lineup, the suitcases incorporate expandable compartments, organized interior layouts, smooth mobility systems, and secure locking mechanisms to support seamless travel across airports, cities, and destinations.
The Melbourne Series is built using durable multi-layer polycarbonate material designed to provide structural strength while maintaining a lightweight profile. Reinforced anti-collision corners enhance protection during transit, while an aluminum alloy telescopic handle allows for adjustable height and comfortable handling. Equipped with smooth spinner wheels and international TSA-approved locks, the Melbourne series is designed to offer both mobility and security for travelers.
Expanding on this design, the Melbourne Plus Series introduces additional protective features along with enhanced storage flexibility. The luggage includes aluminum alloy bumper corners that provide improved impact resistance, while the expandable storage design allows travelers to increase packing capacity when required. Smooth 360-degree silent wheels ensure effortless maneuverability across different surfaces, and TSA-approved locks simplify international security checks. Select models also include smart interior layouts such as dry and wet compartments to help keep personal belongings organized during travel.
For travelers who prioritize accessibility and organization, the Barcelona Series features an innovative front-opening design that allows users to quickly access essentials without fully opening the suitcase. This design is particularly useful in compact spaces such as airport lounges, trains, or hotel rooms. The front compartment includes a dedicated laptop protection layer and organized storage pockets for electronic devices, documents, and travel accessories. The luggage is also crafted using eco-friendly recycled polyester (rPET), reflecting Acer’s commitment to integrating sustainability into its product design.
The Copenhagen Series is designed with a practical Dual Opening (top-opening and mid-opening) structure that allows travelers to quickly retrieve frequently used items without needing to unpack the entire suitcase. This feature enhances convenience during transit, particularly during security checks or quick access moments during travel. It also has nesting features where one can keep a smaller size inside the bigger one for further use.
Similarly, the Brisbane Series combines top-opening and mid-opening accessibility with expandable storage, offering additional flexibility for travelers who need extra packing space for longer trips. The design focuses on maximizing storage capacity while maintaining ease of mobility and structural durability.
Commenting on Acer’s entry into the category, Harish Kohli, President and Managing Director, Acer India Group, said, “At Acer, innovation has always been about anticipating how consumer needs evolve and expanding into categories where thoughtful design and technology can make everyday experiences better. Travel today has become more dynamic, connected, and experience-led, and consumers increasingly seek products that combine utility, durability, and intelligent design. Our entry into the travel accessories segment reflects a natural extension of Acer’s brand philosophy, bringing purposeful innovation beyond traditional technology categories into lifestyle-led ecosystems. With this portfolio, we are introducing travel solutions built around functionality, sustainability, and modern mobility, while staying true to Acer’s focus on quality and user-centric innovation. As we continue to diversify our portfolio, our objective remains to create products that are relevant, reliable, and designed for how people live and move today.”
Talking about the launch, Alok Dubey, CFO, Acer India, said, “As travel continues to evolve, so do the expectations of today’s travellers. There is a growing demand for luggage that delivers convenience, durability, smart organization, and seamless mobility, while also maintaining a modern design language. India is one of the most dynamic travel markets, driven by a new generation of frequent travellers and professionals on the move. With this launch, we aim to introduce thoughtfully designed travel solutions that enhance the overall travel experience, combining intelligent storage, durable materials, and smooth functionality. Our focus remains on delivering products that integrate innovation, sustainability, and everyday usability.”
At the premium end of the portfolio, Acer introduces the Predator Suitcases, engineered with a reinforced Polycarbonate frame structure that offers superior durability and protection. Designed for travelers who require robust luggage for frequent journeys, the Predator series delivers both structural stability and a sleek, professional aesthetic.
Across the range, the luggage is equipped with high-performance spinner wheels designed to minimize vibration and noise while ensuring smooth movement across different travel environments. Ergonomic handles and secure locking systems further enhance the overall user experience.
Integrating Sustainability into Travel Design
Sustainability is an important part of Acer’s product philosophy. Several products within the travelware lineup incorporate environmentally responsible materials such as recycled polyester (rPET), derived from post-consumer recycled plastics. By incorporating these materials into the manufacturing process, Acer aims to reduce environmental impact while maintaining product durability and performance standards.
This approach reflects the company’s broader commitment to combining design innovation with responsible manufacturing practices while supporting a more sustainable lifestyle ecosystem.
Price and Availability
Acer’s luggage range is available on Flipkart and Acer Online Store, with prices starting from ₹ 5,999.00 across multiple models and sizes, including carry-on, medium, and large suitcases.
