The contest is now over for the caseluggage.com  awards, it was a hardly fought contest, and after two nerve-racking, grueling weeks of voting, the results are in! It would be cruel to all the brands nominated to further lengthen the process, so just below are the results! Congratulations to all the winners, and commiserations to all those who are not taking home a caseluggage.com award, there is always next year!

 

 

Best New Range Launch:

 

1) Alpha Bravo by TUMI  (36%)2) Vapor by TUMI  (32%)

3) Salsa Air by RIMOWA  (23%)

This was a closely fought contest between three great ranges, that attracted the greatest number of votes. At the start of the voting process it seemed as if the Vapor range was the obvious winner, but after some late voting the Alpha Bravo stole the top spot just before the count!

 

Best New Colour in a Range:

1) City – Vapor Produced by TUMI  (35%)

2) Violet – Cosmolite Produced by SAMSONITE  (30%)

3) Gold – Cosmolite Produced by SAMSONITE  (20%) 

Samsonite did extremely well in this category, giving merit to the wonderful Cosmolite range, but were just short on taking the Gold prize. Again, it was a close contest with the Violet Cosmolite looking certain to win but it seems that the same TUMI flurry in the last category struck again with the City print robbing Samsonite of the victory.

 

Best Leading Design Piece:

 1) TUMI – Knox Backpack  (35%)

2) BRICS – Thermoform Trolleys  (29%)

3) RIMOWA – Salsa Air Cabin Case  (24%)

Again, and possibly this was a theme of the caseluggage.com awards, TUMI won another award. However, out of all the categories this was the most closely fought, resulting in a situation where there were just two votes between 1st and 3rd. All three were deserving winners, however, as is the nature of competition there must always be winners and losers. Congratulation again to TUMI!

 

Best New Business Collection:

1) Wheeled Briefcases by TUMI  (72%)

2) Bayswater by KNOMO  (17%)

3) Touraine by LE TANNEUR  (11%)

This was a walkover by TUMI, with their competitors not even coming close. Both Knomo and Le Tanneur will be disappointed with their performances however, at times one must simply recognize the great work done by TUMI in their business collection and just admire it. 

 

Best Supporting Accessory:

1) NIO Security Tag by NIO  (38%)

2) iPad Cover by KNOMO  (24%)

3) Riley Wash Kit by TUMI  (19%)

TUMI only just missed out and would have taken all 5 awards if it weren’t for the genius design and originality of the NIO Security Tag. The NIO took an early lead in the voting and then never looked back, comfortably winning by 14%. We at CASE are very excited about this product and think it has a very bright future, well done NIO!

And thus, there comes the end to the 2011 caseluggage.com Awards. A big congratulations to all those who took home awards and better luck next year to those who just missed out. Thanks must also be paid to all those who voted in the awards, we all hope your favourites won! However, sadly, with good news always comes bad and today Hollywood lost one of it’s most famous stars with the sad passing of on and off screen legend Elizabeth Taylor, who died after a long battle against illness. She will always be remembered for her double Oscar winning perfomances and her parts in such films as Cleopatra with ex husband Richard Burton.

The King’s Speech reigned supreme at last Sunday’s Oscars, with the British Film picking up a massive 4 Oscars. However, the Awards season is not quite over yet, as the last major event of the calendar is still to come. I am of course referring to the CASE Academy Awards, where we at CASE recognize all the amazing achievements made by particular brands and pieces of luggage throughout the past  year.

Below is a list of the categories and a short list for the winners of these awards. Please feel free to comment on this blog piece with your suggestions for who should win what. Each nominee is linked to their product page, so have a look and decide for yourselves!
