Brand Heritage:
Founded in Tokyo in 1964 by the Kodama Group (a subsidiary of Mitsubishi Corporation), ECHOLAC was born out of a commitment to creating sophisticated travel innovations. In 1965, the brand achieved global fame by launching the "World’s First James Bond Briefcase" made from ABS material. This breakthrough offered a lightweight yet incredibly durable solution, resistant to scratches and all weather conditions.บ

ECHOLAC has never stopped evolving. The brand’s excellence was recognized with the Japan Best Look Award in 1985. By 2014, with over 80 million units produced, ECHOLAC became a household name worldwide. In 2017, the brand stepped fully into the digital age with the launch of "Smart Luggage."
