ABSTRACT:
A process for designing durable and esthetically pleasing luggage. The luggage features a top and bottom created from a thermoplastic elastomer. The thermoplastic elastomer provides a durable surface while allowing luggage design in different shapes. A radio frequency process is used to couple different sections of the luggage. This process removes the need for unsightly stitches while simplifying construction. In addition, the lower and upper sections of the luggage are coupled by a zipper mechanism that is not visible from the exterior of the luggage. This protected zipper adds to the durability and esthetic form of the luggage.
