A luggage article (2) having surface features (34) providing enhanced corner strength is provided. The luggage article (2) includes a housing (4) at least partially formed by an outer layer (6) and defining in part a first side (8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18), a second side (8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18), and a third side (8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18). A corner region (20) is defined at the intersection of the first, second, and third sides (8-18), and an apex region (36) is defined at least partially by the corner region (20). The luggage article (2) may also include a first elongated surface feature (34A) formed by the outer layer (6) and extending at least partially across one or more of the first, second, and third sides (8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18) at a first distance spaced away from the apex region (36) and curving relative to the apex region (36). The luggage article (2) may also include a second elongated surface feature (34B) formed by the outer layer (6) and extending at least partially across one or more of the first, second, and third sides (8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18) at a second distance spaced away from the apex region (36) and curving relative to the apex region (36). In some examples, each of the first and second surface features (34A, 34B) define a curve similar to each other along a portion of their respective length (L1, L2). |
