Home » Luggage » Luggage Sets » Bells and WhistlesBecause luggage is something you will own for a long time, you want to invest in a quality set with a few extras. Here are some things to look for:
Sturdy Wheels
Nothing is more frustrating than trying to travel with a suitcase that is constantly falling over. Look for sturdy wheels and find out if they can be replaced.
Built-In Tags
Exterior luggage tags can easily be torn off or lost. Look for luggage with embedded tags.
Locks
Make sure the luggage pieces have strong, quality locks – and then don’t lose the keys!
Accordion Pleats
Accordion pleats allow a suitcase to expand if you need it to. This is advantageous because it basically gives you two suitcases sizes in one.
Comfortable Handles
Look for luggage sets that are comfortable for you to carry. Even with wheels, suitcases can be very heavy to transport. You want the handles to feel good in your hands.
Outside Pockets
Outside pockets can come in handy during your travel. Look for luggage with roomy extra pockets accessible from the outside.
Wetpacks
Some suitcases come with separate areas for wet clothes. This can come in handy when you are packing to leave the beach or when traveling with a baby.
