Acer has announced its foray into India’s travel accessories market with the introduction of a new portfolio of smart luggage. Known for its global presence across more than 160 countries, the company is expanding beyond its core technology offerings to introduce travel gear designed for modern mobility and convenience.
The newly introduced range includes multiple series such as Melbourne, Melbourne Plus, Barcelona, Copenhagen, Brisbane, and Predator. The collection is available in carry-on, medium, and large formats, catering to a variety of travel requirements, from short business trips to extended international journeys.
The luggage range has been designed with a focus on durability, storage efficiency, and ease of use. Key features across the portfolio include expandable compartments, structured interiors for better organization, smooth-rolling wheels, and integrated locking systems aimed at enhancing security and usability during travel.
The Melbourne series features multi-layer polycarbonate construction, offering a balance between strength and lightweight handling. It includes reinforced corners for added protection, adjustable telescopic handles, and spinner wheels for easy movement. The Melbourne Plus series builds on these features with enhanced impact resistance and increased storage flexibility, along with specialized compartments for better organization.
For travellers seeking quick access to essentials, the Barcelona series introduces a front-opening design with dedicated sections for laptops and travel documents. This design is particularly suited for use in transit environments such as airports and train stations. The Copenhagen and Brisbane series offer dual-opening structures, allowing access from different sections of the suitcase, along with expandable storage for added capacity. At the premium end, the Predator series has been engineered for frequent travellers, featuring reinforced polycarbonate frames for added durability and a streamlined design.
Commenting on the launch, Harish Kohli, President and Managing Director of Acer India, stated that the move reflects the company’s approach of extending innovation into adjacent lifestyle categories. He noted that evolving travel patterns have created demand for products that combine functionality, durability, and thoughtful design.
Alok Dubey, Chief Financial Officer at Acer India, highlighted that India’s growing travel market presents an opportunity to introduce solutions that align with changing consumer expectations, particularly around convenience and mobility.
Sustainability has also been incorporated into the design process, with select models using recycled materials such as rPET to reduce environmental impact. The luggage range is available through Flipkart and Acer’s online store, with prices starting at ₹5,999 across various models and sizes.
Founded in 1976, Acer operates in more than 160 countries and ranks among the world’s leading technology companies. The Acer Group continues to expand its portfolio across computers, displays, and emerging technology segments, while maintaining a strong focus on sustainability, innovation, and responsible growth.
