this is my very first carry on luggage, and i am pleased to say this won’t be my last purchase with this company. while i have done my research to compare carry ons with other luggage brands, this is the only brand that has a carry on that fits the international size requirements for my airline. not only does this carry on meet the expectations of my airline, but it is so business casual and is very sleek. the carry on has a very lux feel so it and is also very spacious. in addition, the hard shell compartment fits my HP laptop as well as my ipad along with a couple of other personal items. taking everything into consideration, the only negative i could find is maybe how well this suitcase does against scratches and fingerprints, (the carry on i purchased is black). thanks for reading my review !
