Samsonite Casts John Turturro In The New York Sequel Of It's Not Just A Bag, It's A Samsonitetm Campaign

(MENAFN- PR Newswire) Photographed in front of the iconic Grand Central Station, at a midtown taxi stand, on a scenic corner of New York's Upper East Side and in the stillness of an elevator ride the campaign follows Turturro in his natural rhythm: in motion and deeply tied to the city that shaped him. The result is part portrait, part story, and entirely Samsonite.

"Shooting with John Turturro on the streets of New York City was a celebration of enduring icons - Samsonite, John and the city itself," said Nicole Adriance, Senior Director of Brand Marketing at Samsonite. "With nimble street-level production we captured the character and authenticity that define both John and Samsonite. This campaign is a tribute to legacy, reminding the world that 'It's Not Just a Bag, It's a Samsonite.'"

John Turturro was a natural choice to lead the next chapter of Samsonite's campaign platform because, like a great actor or a great suitcase, some things get better with experience. Turturro's career is defined by thoughtful storytelling and grit. Like Samsonite, he's timeless yet modern, and iconic without trying. He understands that each role demands something different, just like every journey.

This campaign is a love letter to the way travel shapes us, and how what we carry helps tell our story. It's not just about luggage. It's about momentum. Craft. Character. On set and in motion, John trusts Samsonite to keep up with every script, every city, every scene.

Whether you're headed across boroughs or boarding a red-eye, carry something that moves like you do. The Samsonite Proxis TM and Silhouette 18 TM collections featured in the campaign are available now on Samsonite and select retailers nationwide. "It's Not Just a Bag, It's a Samsonite" featuring John Turturro can be seen across multiple digital platforms.
