The finishes are beautiful and the TSA approved lock is a nice touch. Can’t wait to test her out!
I purchased my HUE collection in pink in January 2021, upon arrival my first thought was: these are gorgeous and oh no, the carry on has to be replaced. I put a ticket in and was requested to provide several photos, only then was I given a free return postage tag and sent a new one. Okay, that's settled, I'm happy.
First use, I immediately realized this bag was never going to stay pink. You basically must buy the protector or not care about your bag. I sucked it up and said I would just survive, it's luggage.
It's now August 2022, I got a full year and a half use out of my carry on. That's right, a year and a half. After 9 months, the front pouch had separated at two points from the luggage. Still useable, but no way was I putting my laptop in it anymore. The rest of the bag is basically a brown-shade of pink, but fine otherwise, at least until my last use. Unfortunately, the corner of the bag and the point where the lock is cracked across the back. It was time to retire it and at this time, I don't think I'll get another bag from the HUE collection, at least not for now, I cannot justify the cost for only a year and a half of use.
The other bag I purchased, the large bag, is fine, equally dingy, but has survived its checked back luggage life much better than the carry on.
Some additional context, I fly international once a month, typically with a carry on and a large purse. I use packing cubes and carry all liquid toiletries in my purse. I am a longtime fan of CalPak, so…
Have not used for travel yet, will update review then. Thoughts so far: Love the color (poppy), and outer pocket is great, roomy, and why I purchased this bag. But the bag is small. The outer pocket takes up room in the overall bag. It’s definitely a good size to carry on but for packing light. I purchased the Hue Laptop Duffel to go with it in Pink Sand. The colors go well together.
Love the color, goes with the truck I purchased. Very handy and convenient
My daughter wanted this so bad but the sand pink was out of stock. I emailed the company & got an immediate response. They kept me informed as to when it would be in stock. When I received the email I also received a text to inform me what we wanted was available. She is so happy with it & its beautiful. Most of all, best customer service!
