Travel SelectAmsterdam Softside Expandable Rolling Luggage, TSA-Approved, Lightweight, Burgundy, Carry-on 21-Inch

These (21-inch carryon and 25-inch medium checked bag) survived two months traveling in Africa. Slight damage during the initial overseas flight (the locking ring was broken off the 25-inch, but the zipper still worked perfectly). Otherwise, both pieces survived without a scratch. Bright colors, surprisingly easy to spot across a crowded and chaotic airport (my bags were taken off the carousel and placed into a sea of luggage, while I was in customs). Packed full, yet well under the weight limits for the in-country and international airlines I traveled with. For the very reasonable price I paid for these two pieces, I couldn't ask for more.

This suitcase has a good quality construction. It is light weight and sturdy. It holds more than travelers would need for a week away from home. Extended handle makes it easy to roll the luggage behind or beside you. This is an excellent value for what we paid. Comes with toting straps so you can attach other pieces of luggage together. Comes with 4 packing cubes. What a great value!

I bought the 2-piece set in burgundy mainly because it claims to be 21" height x 14" width x 8" diameter. The dimensions were accurate for width and diameter but height measures 22 inches tall including wheels and even pressing down the top strap. These measurements work for domestic airlines (e.g. Delta, Alaska Airlines), but the height does not work for Canadian airlines (e.g. WestJet). I still took a chance and luckily was able to take this carry-on onto four WestJet flights without issue. This Travel Select carry-on slid into the overhead bin easily. We were asked to place the carry-on into the sizer just once either at FLL or YYZ Airport and passed the test. It comes with a separate lock but I would not rely on it; it is a really cheap quality lock that looks like you can open it without using a key. Material feels durable. As we were on the move for seven days, the retractable handle was still working after constant retracting and extracting the handle which was good, but I could feel it is starting to wobble a bit. The travel tote is a nice size but I did not use it because I prefer backpacks. The travel tote shoulder strap is not good quality; as in, don't carry heavy stuff or the straps will surely break off the bag and that would not be repairable. Overall, for the price I paid (40 bucks), it is an inexpensive price even if it lasts for one trip.

I read the reviews before purchase. After returning from a cruise with my new shiny beautiful pink hardside with 4 outside, go anywhere wheels, I decided I needed a soft sided set with outside pockets. My beautiful new pink set went with me on an airplane 2 years ago from Texas to Seattle for an Alaskan cruise. The airlines managed to do what they said could not be done. One of my wheels was half off and the luggage broke around the wheel. Since I wasn't flying anywhere for our latest cruise, we did a pretty good job of repairing this piece and I used it. Another negative of these new beautiful supposedly "indestructible" bags is no outside pockets for those last minute oops have to have items. It is frustrating to say the least to have to open up a bag for a couple of items. Get these while you can! Apparently, they are going to be a thing of the past. Thrilled with the quality of my new bags. I will probably be giving my cute, smaller pink bags (which haven't even been used) to my granddaughters for their birthdays. Buyer beware of the great new bags. My inline wheels are totally good enough. The trade offs are not tried and true yet! This is one new idea I would recommend you pass on and buy the tried and true.

I am giving this set only one star because of the customer service. These looked like nice bags so we packed them up and set off to the airport for an adventure. Upon arriving at the airport we found that the handle on the large bag would not extend. Too late to do anything about it under the circumstances so just struggled with it. On arrival back home, there was a large tear in the second largest bag so it seemed that the luggage was not durable enough. We put in a request to Amazon to return the set. Evidently, this seller does not allow Amazon to handle returns so we were referred to the seller who informed us that It couldn't be returned because it was used. I wonder how one would know it f it were defective if one had not used it. Anyway, the seller sent us to the manufacturer who agreed that it could not be returned, but it MIGHT be eligible,for repair or replacement under the warranty. OK. We were sent a form to fill out with instructions that before we filled out the form, we MUST read the entire warranty. Done. They also wanted to have 2-3 pictures for each of the damaged cases sent showing the damage plus the front of the cases. The pictures had to be of a size that no one had to scroll down to see the complete picture. (Really?!). Also, a copy of the invoice from Amazon had to be sent in jpeg. form. OK. Got it. THEN we had to fill out the form stating the model number of each case which was to be obtained either from the tag that came on the case (riiight! I always save those. Who doesn't?) or obtained by going onto the company's web site to see what the number is. Surprise, surprise, there is nothing on the web site that tells what the model number of the individual cases might be. I took a quess, and proceeded to fill in the form with my name, address, city, state, country, email, and everything else except the hospital I was born in 72 years ago. Great! Ready to go! I hit send and error messages popped up. Much to my surprise, there evidently is no such place as the location of the house I have lived in for 36 years! Back to the drawing board. I deleted everything on the form and re-entered all the information, being careful to make SURE it was all accurate. Hit send. There is STILL no such location. I finally gave up and wrote to the company again to tell them of my irritation and that I intended to write a bad review. No answer for a week, so here is my review. If anyone would like a nice-looking, albeit non-functional, set of luggage, I would be happy to donate this one. By the way, I very seldom write reviews at all but this one needed to be written.

I know the hard side suitcases are more popular in the travelling luggage world, but when it comes to finding more hidden spaces to put your stuff in the old-fashioned fabric cases are still winners. Besides its less popular demand also makes them more affordable.

I ordered the Burgandy color but received the black set. The color has nothing to do with appeal and build of these. Very nice and practical with a few unexpected surprises like shoes bags one cube packing.

Appears to sturdy. Like this particular carry on because the wheels are recessed and less likely to be damaged in over head bins.

Quite like this suitcase. No too big or too small. Great for a few days away. Handles great and feels like good quality.

Super 👍
