Asia Luggage to Launch First Front-Open Model in Its Popular SOLID KNIGHT Series in June 2026

Asia Luggage will introduce the first front-open model in its popular SOLID KNIGHT series. The new suitcase combines Made-in-Japan precision with a front-open structure, expandable capacity, and AIRLENT® silent casters. It will be available in five colors from June 2026. The product brings together Made-in-Japan quality, front-open access, expandable storage, and AIRLENT® silent casters in one suitcase designed to reduce travel stress. The front-open function allows users to access items while the suitcase remains upright, while the expandable function provides extra capacity when luggage increases. The suitcase also adopts AIRLENT® 60mm ultra-silent double casters, known for quiet movement and smooth maneuverability, pursuing practical usability that reflects real travel needs. Asia Luggage Co., Ltd., headquartered in Tokyo and led by President Norihiro Kanamura, operates under the brand philosophy of pursuing the next level of Japanese-brand quality, functionality, and design. Through strict quality control and international warranty after-sales service, the company has gained broad support for its sincere craftsmanship. The new SOLID KNIGHT inherits the durability and functionality of the existing series while introducing a newly designed front-open structure. Its practical pocket function enables smooth access to laptops, documents, and accessories without laying the suitcase flat. The suitcase is equipped with AIRLENT® 60mm ultra-silent double casters with stoppers, co-developed with Japanese manufacturer Hinomoto Jomae and highly regarded for their very quiet rolling sound. It also features an industry-first, utility-model-registered pop-up hook integrated into the trolley bar, along with a one-touch caster lock, providing stress-free operation tailored to real travel situations. The lineup includes five colors: matte black, matte champagne, and matte blue with matte finishes, plus metal green and chrome silver with glossy finishes. Sales will begin sequentially from June 2026 at directly operated stores, the official online store, and mass retailers and specialty stores across Japan. Product information: SOLID KNIGHT series.
