August 24, 2026 – DELSEY PARIS, the European leader in premium luggage and the world’s third-largest luggage brand, today unveils Helium Ultimate, its lightest offering to date. Bringing together eight decades of engineering expertise, the collection represents a significant step forward in the brand’s pursuit of effortless mobility, with the simple idea that the weight of your luggage should be the weight of what you carry – and nothing more.
Weighing only 2.3 KG in cabin size and 3.8 KG in check-in size, Helium Ultimate is designed for the travellers who expect more from every journey; redefining what it means to travel light. Its lightness, however, does not come at the expense of strength. Each suitcase is composed of DELSEY PARIS’ exclusive, shock-resistant Vectrix™ technology – a self-reinforced woven polycarbonate developed to deliver absolute durability. Engineered to absorb impact, the material naturally returns to its original shape after impact, ensuring the case maintains its integrity with every journey.
The collection takes inspiration from the perennial language of classic vintage travel trunks, reinterpreted through a clean, contemporary lens. Available in Anthracite, Burgundy, and Silver colourways, its design details include sculpted vertical bands complete with a carbon-inspired technical finish and aerodynamic lines.
Arriving in expandable silhouettes across cabin and check-in sizes, it features a SECURITECH® zip and a TSA-accepted lock for total reliability, while four dual wheel spinners deliver smooth, silent movement. Inside, a removable, washable lining retains freshness, and considered compartments, including a discreet Bluetooth tracker pocket, and securing straps keep belongings secure in place.
Every DELSEY PARIS suitcase undergoes extensive testing within the brand’s dedicated laboratories, from repeated component stress cycles to environmental simulations that replicate conditions from sub-zero temperatures to intense heat, ensuring exceptional durability in every journey.
Coralie Lindvay, Global Brand Director at DELSEY PARIS, comments: “In our 80th anniversary year, we proudly introduce our lightest collection yet: Helium Ultimate. It is the culmination of 80 years of innovation distilled into a new standard of lightness. Effortless movement is one of our defining brand values – and the collection conceals complex engineering behind intuitive simplicity, where every detail is considered for greater freedom to navigate movement with complete ease.”
Since 1946, DELSEY PARIS has redefined the way the world travels, crafting luggage and travel essentials distinguished by effortless movement, intelligent functionality and expressive design. In this anniversary year, the brand is moving beyond travel to embrace a broader vision of mobility with the launch of its new tagline, “Designed to move you”. Moving beyond function and performance, it now embodies movement in all dimensions: physical, emotional and sensory. It doesn’t just move with you. It moves you.
Launching globally on August 24th at delseyparis.com, the Helium Ultimate collection is priced from £320 for the expandable 55cm carry-on to £345 for the expandable 70cm check-in and £370 for the expandable 76cm check-in. The collection will be also available for purchase at the Case Piccadilly, Harrods Knightsbridge and SELFRIDGES Oxford Street stores, arriving in-store on August 24th.
