DELSEY Paris is a proudly French company, founded in 1946 by Emile Delhaye and the Seynhaeve brothers (hence the name "Del-Sey"). The company is headquartered in Tremblay-en-France, near Paris. Known for pioneering the first "hard-shell" luggage with wheels in the 1970s, Delsey has maintained its reputation for Parisian elegance combined with high-tech security features, such as their patented "Securitech" double zipper. While they are a global brand sold in over 110 countries and much of their mass-market manufacturing (like many global luggage brands) occurs in Asia to meet demand, the design, engineering, and brand heritage remain strictly French. In the 2026 market, they are widely considered the primary French rival to the American brand Samsonite, focusing on a "chic" travel aesthetic.
