Why FORTE

Four reasons FORTE outlasts your current luggage

No zip to burst, no polycarbonate shell, and wheels, carry handles and locks sold on their own. Built to be repaired, not replaced.

  • Riveted, zipperless FORTE frame in Brushed Silver

    Zipperless shell

    No zip to burst mid-carousel and none to pop open with a biro. The aluminium shell locks shut on its own riveted frame.

  • Integrated TSA combination lock on a Brushed Silver FORTE case

    Two locks, built in

    Two integrated TSA combination locks, one at each end, set into the frame itself rather than hung off a zip pull.

  • Carry handles on a Brushed Silver FORTE case

    Modular by design

    Replace the part not the case. Wheels release by hand. Carry handles and locks swap in less than 2 minutes.

  • Wheels on a Brushed Silver FORTE case

    DIY Spares

    Wheels, carry handles and locks are sold direct, from £29.99. Replacement and upgradable parts for life.

How it works

A broken part is a 5 second problem, not a new case.

Wheels, carry handles and locks are all replaceable at home. Wheels come as a set of four, so one broken wheel leaves you three spares.

  1. Brushed Silver FORTE case with its 360 wheels
    Step 01

    Order the part

    Wheels, carry handles and locks, each sold on its own. No case serial lookup, no service ticket.

  2. Hands releasing a wheel from the base of a Brushed Silver FORTE case
    Step 02

    Flip, pull, slide

    Flip the red switch, pull the release lever and the old wheel slides out. Push the new one in until it seats. No tools.

  3. FORTE aluminium suitcase in the front boot of a car
    Step 03

    Back on the road

    The case you bought is the case you keep. Replace the part, not the suitcase.

The perfect cabin fit:

British Airways, easyJet, Ryanair, to name a few. If a size is tight, remove the wheels with no tools in less than 5 seconds.

Aluminium-magnesium alloy

No more ripped fabric or cracked plastic. We use a anodised 5-series Aluminium alloy shell and frame, with riveted corner guards.

Built for the world

Other suitcases become landfill waste with broken shells or parts. Aluminium scratches and dents but it's lightweight & extremely durable.
