Rockland Fashion Expandable Softside Upright Luggage Set, Purple, 2-Piece (14/19)

Great luggage and Super great price
I purchased the owl pattern for my 5 year old and the giraffe pattern for my 11 year old for a trip to grandma’s this coming summer. After arrival, I inspected the pieces thoroughly and found them to be well made. The goal is to take only a carry-on and a personal bag each so we don’t have to pay extra luggage fees. I did a pre-packing run to make sure how much we could fit inside and I was very happy…. So happy in fact, that I decided to order a set for myself too. I pack by laying out my pants and shirts on top of each other, folding them in half, and rolling them together. I find that I fit far more in my bag that way. Here is what I fit inside the main area for myself without expanding the zipper for the extra 2 inches of room:2 pairs of jeans3 pair of mid calf capri pants5 shirts1 dress3 bras5 underwear1 pair sandals1 pair dress flats1 pair Nike running shoes1 swimming suit1 beach cover-upIn the small outer pockets I packed:5 pair socks3 camis1 slipIn the smaller personal bag, I fit my 11 inch laptop in the large front pocket.In the main area, I fit the following:make-up, curling iron, deodorant, toothpaste, electric toothbrush with its charger, phone and charger, travel size wet wipes and Kleenex packets, wallet, keys, snacks and a water bottle.There is a zippered long narrow pocket on the other side of the personal bag that is the perfect size in which to put your boarding pass. There is also a nice wide strap to loop over the handle of the carry-on so both bags can be pull transported through the airport.I rolled the bags all around my house on carpet and hardwood to test the wheels. They functioned smoothly. I parked the bag free standing and fully packed. It remained upright. Some reviewers have said their bags tipped over when packed. Maybe it depends on what you have inside and how it is packed.I fly Delta and the fee for checked bags is $25 each way so a round trip would cost $50. You are allowed one carry-on and a personal item for free. I paid $29 for the owl print set, $35 for the giraffe print set, and $29 for the solid purple set I bought for myself. I know these will last many trips for my girls and I so it was definately worth the pittance of a price for these new luggage sets. I come out $1 cheaper after tax and with my free prime shipping ordering all of these than I would have to check 2 bigger bags. I packed enough clothes for each of us for a week. I actually could fit two weeks worth of clothes for my 5 year old since her things are smaller. We are staying 3 weeks at grandma’s house so we do laundrythere. I’d much rather have the pretty new luggage for the price than to pack extra clothes and pay for the bag fee. The way I figure it, even if we buy extra stuff there that won’t fit on the way back, it’s cheaper to mail it back in a priority mail one rate box than to pay luggage fees. I am very happy with my purchase and think you will be as well.

Good bags with a few drawbacks
I’ve used this set maybe 10 times now and here are my takeaways:Pros:*Very durable*Solid zippers*The smaller bag fits easily under airplane seats even when full*The roller bag meets most size requirements for carry-on luggageCons:*The roller bag doesn’t stand up on its own so I always have to hold it or lean it on something which is a little frustrating*the wheels on the roller bag are LOUD. I get a lot of stares and sometimes end up carrying the bag out of self-consciousnessOverall it’s a very good set for the price but it’s probably better for road trips than flights. I mostly travel solo so the roller bag not standing up on its own isn’t a major dealbreaker but I imagine it’d be a huge hassle for someone traveling with kids.

Light, Compact size, roomy, expandable.
The best value carry on. The size is OK even for those picky airlines. It is light, and since the wheels are integrated, there is less risk of breaking them, or becoming a problem for airlines carry on size checks. The wheels are larger than others making the easier to carry over rough surfaces. It is also expandable if you need extra room.

I looked around a lot, and I can tell you, this was the best deal I could find for a good set of carry on luggage. There’s tons of color options, and the price varies based on which color you want. Obviously, neon pink is cheaper than black! Anyway, Once I got my hands on them so I could have a closer look, I am very pleased with the purchase! The build quality feels very good, especially the extendable handle. I’m not worried about breaking it, which was one of my main concerns when I ordered, but it feels very sturdy. The wheels roll nicely too, and don’t feel flimsy at all. Another nice thing is the zipper lock, which I didn’t know about when I ordered, but I’m not going to complain about it, that’s for sure. This size is just right for compliance with the carry on rules of almost all airlines. One thing to note is that this is not a spinner suitcase, there are only the two wheels underneath, with legs on the front side so it will stand up. That’s fine for me, but if you are looking for 4 wheel luggage, look elsewhere. All in all, I’m very happy with these bags, so I recommend them!

I really like the design, very retro…..well made and the 4th piece is a great idea instead of lugging around a handbag. I travel economy class and the day tours can be long and hectic so a piece of luggage like this is really handy (carry lunch, water and camera etc ) and makes a great carry on for flying….I love it ❤️
