When I wanted to start travelling carryon-only, I knew that I needed a hard-case cabin bag that looked sleek and inconspicuous to avoid drawing attention from staff who might want to weight my bag that would definitely be overweight.
I decided to get one that was matching with my larger suitcase, one that I barely use but keep around just in case.
Even though I’m not the gentlest with my suitcases, this has held up pretty well so far.
