Our Core Principle
DESIGNED TO MOVE YOU
For 80 years, DELSEY PARIS has been crafting luggage built to move with you; lighter, stronger, smarter. But Innovation was never the finish line. The destination was always the feeling: who you become when you leave, what shifts when you arrive somewhere new.
Wherever you are. Wherever you're going. DELSEY PARIS doesn't just move with you. It moves you.
Movement is physical.
But when itās designed with intention,
it becomes something more.
For 80 years, DELSEY has shaped that experience.
crafting wheels that glide,
structures that balance,
and details that transform motion
into a feeling.
Because when motion is fluid,
it doesnāt just follow you; it moves you.

History in the Making
80 Years of Mobility and Innovation
Since movement began to shape our daily lives, DELSEY PARIS has been designing bags and luggage that make every journey smoother and lighter. Founded in 1946, the brand did not simply accompany the evolution of the way we move: it helped shape them. Driven by innovations that have left a lasting mark on the world of luggage, DELSEY has broadened the horizons of travel. It has pushed the boundaries of the horizon and empowered those who cross it.
Protecting the great innovations of their time
The story of DELSEY PARIS started at the beginning of the last century with the union of two family-owned companies who decided to combine their strengths and know-how to conquer new markets.
At the time, both companies were selling protection cases for innovative products: the Delahaye company was making leather cases for cameras and the Seynhaeve company was producing cases for typewriters and record players.
DELSEY PARIS was born in 1946 from the merger of these two companies, with their owners Emile Delahaye and brothers AndrƩ & Walter Seynhaeve combining their family names to become one.
Two areas of expertise were brought together by a shared ambition: protecting the great innovations of their time.
Delahaye + Seynhaeve = DelSey
With their respective skills in leather goods and protective case manufacturing, and at a time when the first paid vacations were being enjoyed and tourism was taking off, the two visionaries quickly moved on to beauty cases, briefcases, bags and luggage to accompany these first vacationers on their journeys.
From the National highway 7 by car, to the rise of the railroads and the first passenger flights, they created products to meet people's travel needs, that embody French elegance and savoir-faire. The enthusiasm was immediate!
A culture of innovation
For 80 years, the company has spent most of its time and energy innovating, creating new products and new functions in an effort to make travel easier.
DELSEY PARIS was the first brand to offer luggage with an ultra-strong rigid shell, providing better protection for travelers' personal belongings. In 1972, the brand launched the first luggage on wheels, using a telescoping handle with retractable wheels! A major innovation that changed the way people travel. In the 80's and 90's, the company continued to innovate, making ultra-light and resistant luggage that are also easier to maneuver.
Since then, DELSEY has also worked on making luggage more secure. Staying true to its purpose of protecting people's belongings, the brand created the SECURITECHĀ® zip - a patented double zip that is 3 times more resistant to intrusion than a standard zip.
Thriving in a changing world
DELSEYās culture of innovation remains a top priority, continuously adapting to an ever-evolving society. For 80 years, DELSEY PARIS has designed luggage to accompany travelers on both everyday journeys and extraordinary ones - creating versatile, lightweight, and practical solutions that enhance daily movement, whether driving, riding the train, biking, or walking.
Every movement begins from within: through what we choose to carry, protect, and express. Beyond belongings, it is passions, projects, and identities that travel. From across the world to just around the corner, movement reveals what is within you. DELSEY is here to move forward with you - with elegance and fluidity.
