This is a nice carry on suitcase for the price point. I ordered it in bronze and thought it looked so gorgeous in the photograph that I wasnt expecting it to look THAT fantastic in real life. I was right. It does not look as good in real life. The hard case parts do look fantastic, the same bronze color as they appear in the photos, and quite expensive looking. However the plastic parts and the zipper areas do look pretty cheap and cheesy as theyre a far less luxe and more blah shade of beige. If I had spent over a hundred on this I would send it back but since it was half of that cost I feel its fair. I also dont love the lining, but it works and has all of the necessary compartments to make it a nice functional piece of luggage. I tend to use totes for short trips and only take longer trips a few times per year so this should be perfect for me, however if I was more of a frequent traveler and hard on luggage Id go up to a better quality item. I will say also the wheels on this seem great and the handle is very nice and adjusts with ease. Again for the price, great piece of luggage.
Edited to add: I have a pretty low key, minimalist and somewhat European style and chose this carry-on, but my best friend is very different in her style, loves rockabilly and punk, very retro, and she saw this suitcase and flipped out and thought it was beautiful. So I think it definitely appeals to a variety of people!
very good but not great
