History

In 1911, the Établissements Delahaye specialised in the manufacture of cases for cameras and covered cases for typewriters and record players. Émile Delahaye and the Seynhaeve brothers joined forces in 1946, combining their names to create the Delsey brand. [4] Delsey made use of its experience in the production of camera and record player cases to form a department specializing in travel items in moulded plastic.[ citation needed ]

Innovations

In early 2015, Delsey unveiled a prototype "smart suitcase" called Pluggage, containing built-in electronic gadgets which communicate with a smartphone app. Features include a weighing scale, locator beacon, wireless speaker, remote locking, and phone charger. [5] This is similar to the competing Airbus Bag2Go and Bluesmart cases which are being developed at the same time as Delsey's product.
