Know before you buy
Yes, with dimensions of 56cm x 42cm x 21cm, this suitcase is designed to meet the carry-on requirements for most major airlines. However, we always recommend checking your specific airline's carry-on policy before traveling, as limits can vary.
Vulcanized fiberboard is an incredibly strong, lightweight material that is highly resistant to impact. While it offers robust protection for your belongings, it will develop a unique patina over time, which is part of the suitcase's classic aesthetic.
No, this model uses a traditional lock-and-key fastening system. It provides a secure closure, but you will need to ensure the key is kept in an accessible place during your travels.
The leather trims can be maintained with a high-quality leather conditioner to keep them supple. For the fiberboard body, simply wipe it down with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust; avoid using harsh chemicals or excessive water.
The interior is lined with fabric and features a clean, open design to maximize packing space. It does not have built-in dividers, so we recommend using packing cubes if you prefer to keep your items strictly organized.
