- American_Tourister abstract "American Tourister is a brand of suitcase.Immigrant Sol Koffler founded American Luggage Works in Providence, Rhode Island in either 1932 or 1933 with his life savings. He was determined to produce luggage priced at $1 in the midst of the Great Depression. The company's breakthrough came soon after when Koffler devised a new line that was significantly better than that of the competition; he named it American Tourister.In 1966, American Tourister featured Bob Hope in their advertising campaign, with the following quote from the entertainer "Luggage is a global affair with me. And from Saigon to Stockholm, Palm Springs to Paris, American Tourister goes with me".In 1970, American Tourister launched a memorable ad campaign, highlighting the durability of its product by unleashing a "gorilla" (actually a man in a costume) on it. The commercial ran for fifteen years. It was also shown briefly in the 1995 film, Apollo 13.[citation needed]In 1993, American Tourister was acquired by Astrum International, which also made Samsonite luggage. Astrum was renamed the Samsonite Corporation two years later.American Tourister has now become a lower-end version of its Samsonite sister brand.[citation needed]".
