A matter of style

I have caved in and bought a new luggage set. Because I have a 21 inch bag and a 28 inch bag, with nothing in between, and both of them are two-wheel, tip-and-pull bags, and I yearn for those four-wheel jobs that you can just, like, push gently along beside you. And also stack a carry-on on top of without then having it bruise your hand when you tip-and-pull.

…also, the best deal comes in purple. Imma have me a purple luggage set with golden-yellow tags and be perfectly seasonal in all ways. And also have the easiest to spot bag on the carousel.

This time, I went for hard-sided, because there is more air travel looming in my future this year, and I’ve seen what they do to the checked bags.

Now, if only I can find a really spiffy set of luggage straps. Maybe with a theme of pansies.

oooh got a link :o? I need to maybe replace my big checked bag soonish (the handle is cracked and doesn't like extending smoothly), and purple is in fact the best color for luggage)

Sure, here you go. They have a couple different variations in different materials, and most of them come in purple.

That is a glorious purple!

I couldn't resist. It's just so /pretty/.

i've slowly been replacing old luggage pieces - and with the same idea in mind of the 4 wheels and no need to tilt. i know one of mine is red - making it p easy to find.

that purple you picked is v pretty - and should also be easy to spot.

Bright colors definitely make baggage claim /way/ less stressful.

It's funny because I simply cannot stand 4 wheel carryon size luggage after I broke two in a row. The 2 wheel kind just has wheels that are more durable...

Yeah, the spinner wheels definitely have more potential failure points. But I’m going to give them a try!
