United States Luggage has a rich and storied history stemming from two distinct origins: the United States Trunk Co., founded in 1911 in Fall River, Massachusetts, and London Leather, established in 1940 by John Ax in New York City. John Ax’s journey from Europe with just $100 led to the founding of London Leather, where he initially crafted leather goods from scraps, gradually expanding into wooden jewelry boxes manufactured in the Far East by the early 1970s. Meanwhile, United States Trunk Co. gained renown for its trunks and duffels before pivoting to hand-carried luggage to cater to the burgeoning middle-class traveler market in the 1950s, eventually rebranding as United States Luggage. In 1970, Bernard Sadow revolutionized the industry with the invention of rolling luggage, a concept initially met with skepticism but quickly embraced by consumers worldwide. Under the leadership of Larry Krulik, who acquired United States Luggage in 1982 and later brought on Briggs & Riley in 2000, the company expanded its portfolio and reputation. Briggs & Riley’s upscale luggage, renowned for its “Simple as that” lifetime warranty, bolstered United States Luggage’s position as a leader in luxury performance luggage. In 2008, the company rebranded as Solo, targeting a younger, style-conscious demographic with a global presence in mass retailers, specialty stores, and online platforms. Today, Solo continues to thrive as one of the world’s largest brands in bags and tablet cases, embodying the company’s commitment to family values, professional excellence, and collaborative spirit. Headquartered in New York with offices across California, the United Kingdom, and China, United States Luggage maintains strong relationships with vendors, retailers, and consumers alike, driven by a legacy of innovation, quality, and customer-centric ethos.
