Samsonite unveils its new Chocolate Mauve colorway as the latest chapter of its brand platform, “It’s Not Just a Bag, It’s a Samsonite,” starring Olivia Culpo. A rich, trend-forward neutral, Chocolate Mauve reflects the growing consumer desire for travel essentials that blend style, function and self expression
Set inside a dreamlike, high-fashion confectionery, the campaign reimagines travel through a culinary lens – where rich textures, sculptural desserts and deep, chocolate-toned hues transform packing into something to savor. At the center is Chocolate Mauve: a warm, expressive color designed to make a sophisticated statement while moving with you.
Culpo leads the campaign with a perspective shaped by her passion for travel, style and culinary creativity. Custom set elements inspired by her signature chocolate cake recipe and pastry artistry are woven throughout the creative, adding a level of depth, personality and playful sophistication to the campaign.
“Travel has always been about savoring the moment, whether it’s a place, a flavor, or a feeling,” said Olivia Culpo. “What I love about Samsonite is how the brand makes travel essentials feel elevated and stylish without sacrificing practicality, and this collection brings that same sense of richness and intention to the way we travel.”
As travelers continue to seek more immersive, experience-driven journeys, food has become a defining part of how we explore—shaping not just where we go, but how those moments are felt and remembered. Samsonite leans into this shift, embracing a sensory approach to travel. Chocolate Mauve reflects that mindset—refined, contemporary and connected to the way people experience the world today.
“Olivia Culpo brings an authentic point of view at the intersection of travel, food, and style,” said Nicole Adriance, Head of Brand and Marketing at Samsonite. “That’s exactly where today’s consumer is and where we see travel becoming more personal, expressive, and culturally connected. This campaign reflects that shift, showing how Samsonite fits naturally into the way people move, explore and experience the world.”
Developed by StudioHS and directed in partnership with Gut Feeling Production, the campaign introduces fresh visual language for the brand – where travel is not just functional, but sensory, stylish and reflective of individual taste.
