Our mission

At FORTE, we believe luggage should be built for life, not landfill. Rooted in British design principles and crafted from anodised aluminium, every case embodies durability, simplicity, and purpose. Our repair-first philosophy, inspired by classic cars, ensures that instead of replacing your suitcase, you can refresh it with modular, easy-to-swap parts — from wheels to handles and locks.
With a lifetime warranty on the aluminium frame and shell, we stand behind every journey you take. By eliminating weak points like zippers and prioritising longevity over disposability, we’re redefining modern travel with luggage that adapts, endures, and evolves alongside you — trip after trip, decade after decade.

Asked Questions
Our Limited Lifetime Warranty includes replacements, repairs to all Aluminium components of the luggage, when it is used in line with our terms - we do not cover misuse. If the Aluminium breaks, corrodes or wears down we will replace the luggage free of charge. All replacement parts can be acquired from us along with simple instructions and support.
If you require additional information visit our Warranty page.
Setting the locks is simple and only takes a few minutes and 4 steps. You can find a guide on setting the combination locks for your suitcase on our website guides “Setting the Locks”.
Wheels can be removed on all luggage purchased after November 2024. At the bottom of your luggage you will find a red latch, press the latch to the side and pull down the switch to release the wheel.
Please note the latch is intentionally firm, this is to ensure the wheels are secure during use.
To remove the handles you firstly need to open the suitcase and locate the internal screws that secure the handles to the frame of the luggage. Then use a crosshead screwdriver to detach the handles from the luggage and attach the new handles.
To remove the locks, you first must locate the screws that are securing the locks into the luggage, from there you need to loosen the screws and detach the locks from the luggage. Now attach your new locks and set your new code.
Our suitcases are crafted from premium anodised 5-series aluminium-magnesium alloy — known for its strength, lightweight feel, and resistance to corrosion. We pair this with precision-moulded ABS and PP components for added durability. Every material is chosen for performance, longevity, and to reduce waste over time.
Aluminium is a premium and durable material but on occasion airline mishandling can happen. Minor dents or scuffs are a part of travel and form a unique patina over time, each mark representing a trip and story from your travels. This is a natural consequence of rough airport handling and are not considered defects. All FORTE suitcases include a complimentary scratch protection cover to help minimise this during travel.
Cabin carry on luggage is compatible with most airline restrictions - please note that wheels can be removed from the frame of the luggage to allow for an extra 8cm in Length. Our checkin luggage is compatible with airline checkin restrictions and sizes but please do you research and check your airline restrictions.
Cabin - 36L / 55 x 45 x 20cm - perfect for short stays,

Keep the combination lock set to 0-0-0 until you decide to keep the suitcase.
