Alas, most Samsonite bags (including their Tumi line) have been in a race to the bottom like most major manufactures (and the ones who haven't, like Briggs & Reilly are way more expensive). This specific model (Secur) was designed and made in Europe (though the ones sold in the US seem to be made in India) and it just hits the sweet spot on all the technical at a rational price. I forgot to mention that, not only have the ones we own been indestructible, but the slightly flexible, but hard sides, offer significant protection to anything inside. Despite the slight "give" in the center of the expanse of the bag, it is rock stable when open or closed (none of the "wiggle" which most hard sided bags have today).
