France (founded 1946)
French engineering, narrower cases built for stricter cabin sizers
Delsey has built luggage in France since the mid-20th century, and its Shadow range is distinguished in this hub by a narrower depth than most competing cabin cases — a deliberate choice aimed at the stricter sizers some low-cost European carriers enforce, at the cost of some packing volume.
The brand also offers expansion zips across its medium and large sizes, letting a case grow for a return trip without buying a bigger one outright.
55 cm · 35 L · 4 wheels
A French-designed hardside cabin case with a rigid shell and a double-wheel spinner set, sized for the tighter end of common cabin allowances.
Best for: Frequent flyers on carriers with a genuinely tight cabin sizer, where every centimetre matters.
