I recently went to Key West with this piece and the smaller matching makeup case. I love that it was a hard case, but the airlines were really rough with it. When I came back a magic eraser took about 95% of the marks off the outside; which was nice because if it had been a soft bag, it would have been filthy. The inside has a nice stretchy elastic belt for holding your clothing in place (it did) and the other side is a nylon panel (like the lining of the suitcase) that keeps that side completely separated. I also used luggage cubes when I went on vacation because I over pack. The pros: I feel the hard case kept all my souvenirs in place on the way back. I liked the size because it was roomy enough for me to overpack both clothing and shoes and when I expanded the suitcase; I comfortably fit my souvenirs and and a friends curling iron and souvenirs (her bag was overweight.) I had no trouble picking my bag out at the luggage carousel because the outside was unique. The wheels are very maneuverable. The cons: I have only had soft case luggage. Squeezing in just one more thing isn’t an issue with a soft bag, but it is with a hard one. I’m glad I used the packing cubes. The side that completely seals off with a zipper is ok but I wish it had a little more give some how. I put my shoes and toiletries on that side, and I wear some big, clunky platforms; space was at a premium on that side. Lol. Other than that it was great I have every piece in this collection.Just got mine today, and It surprised me how wide is inside plenty of room. This is the one I'm looking for hope worth paying for. Love the flamingo designs.I've only used it for 1 trip so far but it is super lightweight and easy to roll. While standing in line to check in I caught myself just spinning it around and around next to me simply because I could.It's a great size for a longer vacation or for delivering gifts across country. Despite its size, it was very light. It probably weighs about half of my older suitcase. My previous suitcase lasted for many years so hopefully the difference in weight will not result in a difference in longevity. It came off the plane a bit dirty but otherwise no worse for the wear so that's a good sign.It seems like people have finally started to take advantage of the many options in colors these days, picking brighter colors to stand out. That makes having this patterned design continues to stand out amongst the solid colored bags on the carousel.Recently used this for my trip to Disneyworld where I checked it. It stood out in the sea of black and grey cases and cute to boot! Lightweight and easy to use. So happy I bought it!Color is beautiful! Rolls well and is very roomy to hold your stuffLooks very beautiful. And lite weightI bought this luggage towards the end of June due to needing more room to put purchases in I've collected during an internship.The luggage came, and it has an identification tag already attached to it. The outer-shell is hard, with an inner-zipper component in the middle that allows the suitcase to expand. The inside comes with a zip-up pocket with an inner zip-up pocket inside and a X cross in the middle of the suitcase for items.Durability:Right now I give it 3 stars. While the outer-shell is hard, the inner-zipper handle was missing on this luggage. The handle to pull the luggage also feels like it would break from pressure added. The wheels are 360 and have been working fine. Points were deducted due to the missing zipper handle and the semi-flimsy feel of the luggage handle itself.While it did survive the flight, there is room for improvement for the handle and for the roomy compartments inside of the luggage.I love the unique look/design and so far no malfunctions or anything but I’m not too incident it’s gonna hold up long term. The hard case is rather malleable and I wouldn’t be surprised if a bit of rough handling messed it up pretty bad. But that hasn’t happened so far and I will certainly be back in here saying so if it did! Otherwise love it!
