What types of suitcases are popular?

Suitcases are the cornerstone of any luggage and travel set, and small shops on Etsy sell them in a wide variety of styles to suit your packing needs. Consider some of these popular options: Backpack suitcases : This popular carry-on option gives you two shoulder straps for easy carrying and is usually designed to fit in the overhead compartment. Rolling suitcases : An ideal luggage option for the frequent traveler, wheels on the bottom and a convenient extendable handle lets you pull a large load across airports and train stations with ease. Kids’ suitcases : If little ones are traveling with you, they'll delight in having a cute suitcase that's sized just right for them. Vintage suitcases : Travel in style with sleek vintage suitcases and trunks from previous jetsetter eras. They can also be used for home decor.

Should you choose a hard-shell or soft-shell suitcase?

When choosing the right suitcase for your travel needs, consider the bag's outer layer, which is called the shell. The shell style has a major impact on how you pack your belongings and influences a number of other elements of your travel. Soft-shell suitcases are flexible and durable, perfect for stuffing in that one extra item you aren't sure will fit. Many contain one or more exterior pockets, making it easy to quickly grab small necessities when you need them. Most feature zippered enclosures, which allow you to easily open and close the suitcase when you need to get something out of the main compartment. Hard-shell suitcases are a fantastic option for frequent air travel, particularly if you’ll be checking bags. A tough, rigid exterior protects delicate contents within. Hard shells also shield your contents from rain and snow, ensuring your clothes and other moisture-sensitive items will be dry when you unpack them at your final destination.

What’s the best material for suitcases?

Shops on Etsy sell suitcases in a wide array of materials. Depending on the wear and tear you expect to place on your luggage, one of these suitcase materials is sure to fit your travel needs: Leather: Many vintage suitcases—both hard and soft-shell—feature a leather outer layer. Leather offers a distinctive classic look for the distinguished traveler. Nylon: This synthetic fabric is a sturdy, long-lasting material that holds up under weather and wear. Aluminum: A popular choice for hard-shell suitcases, aluminum holds up to all manner of punishment. Polycarbonate: Another common hard-shell material, polycarbonate is lightweight and relatively durable.

What are common suitcase sizes?

Suitcases come in a variety of sizes, but these are some of the most common. Many suitcase sets often contain two or more of these pieces: Carry-on suitcases: These are small to medium pieces made to hold one or two days' worth of clothes and sundry items. They're small enough to bring onto a plane with you and store in an overhead compartment. Carry-on size limits vary by airline, but a common size limit across many air services is 22” x 14” x 10”. Some airlines also maintain a weight limit for carry-on travel suitcases, but not all do. If you're uncertain about weight limits, you should be good to go with a small suitcase weighing 15 pounds or less when full. Medium suitcases: These bags, which measure around 24” x 17” x 10”, offer enough space to store between four and seven days' worth of cargo. Medium suitcases are good for a long trip if it's the only piece you bring and an excellent primary piece if you're bringing along a smaller carry-on suitcase. Large suitcases: Measuring around 27” x 18” x 14”, these suitcases give you seven to 10 days of storage for your clothing and essentials if you're traveling alone. If you're bringing along your partner or spouse, the two of you should be able to enjoy a weekend together if you're traveling light and want to only take one piece of luggage. Extra-large suitcases: These typically have capacity enough to hold up to two weeks' worth of items for a single person, measuring around 32” x 22” x 14”. Many extra-large suitcases with wheels feature an extendable handle for easy toting between stops.
