At DALERY, the material plays a full role in the character, comfort, and usage of each product. From the feel of a bag to the durability of a suitcase, every material has its own unique qualities. Leather, synthetic materials, textiles, ABS, polypropylene, or polycarbonate: our collections offer various solutions to meet the needs of everyday life as well as the demands of travel.
Leather, an authentic and timeless material
An iconic material in leather goods, leather stands out for its feel, its character, and its natural evolution over time. Depending on the model, it can be smooth, grained, supple, or more structured. These different finishes give each bag a unique personality, from classic elegance to a more contemporary look. With time and use, leather can naturally develop a patina. An evolution that contributes to its charm and gradually makes each piece unique.
Synthetic materials, versatile in everyday life
Synthetic materials offer great freedom in terms of shapes, textures, and colors. Whether supple or structured, matte, smooth, or grained, they allow for the creation of modern bags that are easy to incorporate into everyday life. They are also appreciated for their ease of maintenance and their versatility.
Textile materials, soft and lightweight
Textile materials are particularly appreciated for their lightness and flexibility. They are naturally suited for backpacks, travel bags, pouches, and accessories. Their flexibility allows for the design of practical and easy-to-carry products, intended to accompany both daily life and getaways.
The materials of our suitcases
When it comes to luggage, the shell material is an essential element. It particularly influences the rigidity, flexibility, weight, and impact resistance of the suitcase. DALERY offers various materials for its hard-shell suitcases, including ABS, polypropylene, and polycarbonate, to suit different uses and ways of traveling.
01 / 03
ABS: rigidity and lightness
ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene) is a thermoplastic material widely used in the manufacturing of hard-shell suitcases.
It allows for the creation of shells that offer a good balance between rigidity, lightweight, and protection. It is also particularly well-suited for creating various textures, shapes, and finishes.
ABS suitcases thus provide a practical and affordable solution for vacations, weekends, or occasional travel. Key takeaways: rigid, relatively lightweight, protective, and affordable.
03/02
Polypropylene: flexible and resistant
Polypropylene (PP) is a thermoplastic material valued in luggage for its strength and flexibility.
Unlike a very rigid shell, polypropylene can deform slightly under stress or impact, then return to its original shape. This property allows it to withstand the various types of handling that luggage may be subjected to during a trip.
It is therefore a particularly interesting choice for regular travelers looking for luggage that combines lightness, flexibility, and impact resistance.
Key takeaway: flexible, impact-resistant, lightweight, and suitable for regular travel.

Polycarbonate: strength and flexibility
Polycarbonate (PC) is a thermoplastic material known for its combination of impact resistance and flexibility.
When a polycarbonate shell is subjected to an impact, its ability to deform slightly helps absorb some of the shock rather than remaining completely rigid.
This property makes it a material particularly well-suited for luggage intended for regular travel and repeated handling.
Polycarbonate also allows for shells with polished, contemporary finishes, making it a highly popular material in the world of luggage.
Key takeaway: impact-resistant, flexible, durable, and particularly well-suited for regular use.
