I had never quite seen anything like it, at that point I realised I just had to have it. I am talking about my SuitSuit Hardshell Trolley Case, which had the design of a boom box. It really was great to travel though that airport and grab stares from those that walked past me.

I, like most people are taking advantage of cheap air travel. I regularly go with Ryan Air for quick weekends away to various European Countries. The first time I travelled with this bag was to Barcelona. Again, like most people I dread paying those extra charges for bags. With soft cases I normally went over my limits due to the weight of everything pushing the bag out. Not good as it cost me an extra £15 each way. That is when I discovered ‘Hard Shell Bags’ which were made to the exact specification needed to be classed as hand luggage, therefore requiring me to need no extra money for my baggage allowance. This particular case only weighed 2.4 kg which left me an allowance of almost 8kg for my clothing, which was perfect as I was only heading on a short trip to Barcelona.

Your trip to Barcelona will be generally hassle free with a wheeled bag. You won’t have to wait around for ages for your bag to appear on the conveyer belt, it will be straight off that plane and straight onto the transport. Not only will you look stylish, you will also be beating the crowds.

If the boom box design doesn’t really suit your tastes, there are plenty of other designs from SuitSuit, this includes a washing machine or a British Flag. Despite being unusual, they all look incredibly stylish and are the perfect way to start your trip. They are well made too unlike so many other novelty items out there.

If you really want to stand out from the crowds then I suggest opting for this trolley case from SuitSuit. It doesn’t just look pretty however, it is also practical and well built. It should last you many short trips, whether it is just within Europe or a bit further afield.
