I was very nervous about purchasing this luggage set, as I have only ever used fabric luggage. However, the luggage I had was from the 90, and not very physically appealing. I am going to France to teach, and wanted something a little more stylish. I am SO happy with this purchase! I love the metallic look, its not as obnoxious as brightly colored luggage, but its easy to pick out on the luggage line. The wheels roll easily and they are so easy to pack! I took the medium sized one on a weekend writing retreat (Im an overpacker, I couldve gotten away with the small one), and it held up so well!
I just finished packing for France, using the large suitcase and small one. I love that the small one is approved as a carryon on international flights, so I dont have to worry about checking another piece of luggage. I purchased a luggage strap to connect my checked and carry-on suitcases, and from what I can tell so far, itll work out great. Ill post an update upon my return.
The only downside that I noticed the other day when packing is that there are some white stretch marks on the corner of the large one. I dont know what its from since I havent used it yet, but I tested it with some pressure and it didnt cave at all, so it shouldnt be a problem.
I especially love that the one side is zippered - makes it easy to open and close, and its nice to separate my clothing from my shoes and toiletries.
Overall, I would DEFINITELY purchase again! I looked at several other suitcase sets, and this one won on all accounts. I couldnt be happier!
The suitcase for your needs
