The first Samsonite ultra-premium store in Asia is to open at Jewel Changi.

The luggage brand is also planning one more outlet at Changi, raising its store network at the airport to five.

“Every time we come up with something new, something big, we launch it first in Singapore,” Subrata Dutta, president and CEO of Samsonite Asia-Pacific told.
