Premium suitcase - "you can't forget to buy"

Often the buyers of suitcases are visited by a crazy thought: “What difference does it make what kind of luggage I buy and at what price? If it fails, I'll order something else. In fact, the key to buying is not how soon it wears out. The main thing is that the luggage does not break on the way!

Imagine, you are at the check-in at the airport, every minute counts, and you have a broken pen or wheel. Or - even better - lightning parted, and all things fell out. Let's say the store that sold it to you has the most honest rules and will fix everything under warranty. But vacation is ruined. And if it is a business trip, your partners will contemplate you waddling on "three wheels", which obviously will not add points to you in negotiations.

Output? Better to take a little time and choose a really good suitcase. Then your nerves and money during the trip will remain intact. And, if you count the costs seriously, a good expensive suitcase is usually enough for 5 or more years with a moderate number of trips. And you don't have to buy a new one every year.

Attention to detail and service

Relatively speaking, a premium suitcase doesn't have to be fabulously expensive. Every year marketers calculate the "average expected consumer price" for a particular group of goods - and everything that is more expensive than the "average price" is already a premium class.

But the most important thing that distinguishes such products is the increased attention to detail.

Manufacturers of premium luggage invariably spend money on:

• design. Each collection is developed by a real team of designers, not mass-produced. Some products are almost a work of art with their own history and ideology. They are pleasant to the eye, to the touch, comfortable to use;

• materials. It is almost impossible to find cheap types of fabrics or plastics. If the plastic is polycarbonate (the strongest) or polypropylene (the lightest), if the fabrics are nylon or polyester. Composite alloys are sometimes found, such as ABS + polycarbonate. In this case, the share of ABS should not exceed 30%. By the way, the use of composites makes the product more affordable in terms of price;

  

• accessories. Lightweight, multi-position, aluminum-based retractable handles with rubberized grips. Perfectly engineered anti-burglary heavy-duty zippers. Combination locks with TSA function and much more;

• wheels. Manufacturers think about strength and lightness at the same time. Ideal if the wheels are reinforced with lightweight aluminum-based metal hinges. An even more advanced option is the presence of shock absorbers, which facilitate the travel of the suitcase and extend the life of the wheels. So far, shock absorbers can only be found at EBERHART;

  

• thoughtful interior. Internal organization of suitcases is usually high - perfect neat lining stitching, beautifully designed luggage compartments with numerous pockets, fastening straps and zippers. Inner suit cases are often found, as well as cosmetic bags for small items. Everything is done with love and for people;

• additional amenities. It's nice when you have a built-in USB connector for a charger or a pocket for a tag, or special fasteners for transporting suitcases of different sizes on top of each other, etc. You can list it endlessly - each manufacturer has its own "secrets".

  

• service. Warranty service does not only mean that you "have the right to replace the failed item." It's all about the service. Where do you have to go in case of a breakdown? How soon will it be replaced and will it be replaced at all? Manufacturers of expensive suitcases are distinguished by an extensive network of services and, in addition, stores that sell these products try to organize service centers themselves. The inconvenience is minimal.

The quick buy rule

It’s great luck to find a premium suitcase of the right model at an affordable price. If you come across such a lucky ticket, order it urgently. After a while, you will be happy to find that you have made a profitable deal: the product either has risen in price, or has completely disappeared from sale.

Young brands that are just entering the market are at first several times cheaper than well-known ones. Beginners need to earn a reputation. Moreover, the quality is often not inferior to eminent brethren. For example, the new American brand EBERHART has acquired its admirers in just a few years and continues to grow in popularity. At the same time, EBERHART products are 1.5-3 times cheaper than those of popular brands.

Premium suitcases are produced in small editions and grouped by season. Everything here is like high fashion - there are “past collections”, there are “new collections”. When the “last collection” ends, it is unlikely that the same model will go on sale next year. At one time, the Ricardo Topanga Canyon suitcase made a big splash - five years have passed, and connoisseurs unsuccessfully continue to search for it in the vastness of the network. Alas and ah, this model has long been discontinued.

However, there are pros and cons to everything. Plus - by purchasing a premium suitcase, you will be one of the lucky few. To meet someone exactly the same is on the verge of fantasy. Minus - if you did not have time to buy what you liked, it will be sold out, and you are late. Therefore, having looked after yourself a pretty suitcase, purchase it immediately!

Finally, I would like to add that wherever you make a purchase, the reputation of the store is extremely important. Feedback on delivery and service will tell you in advance whether your purchase will be successful. For our part, we invite connoisseurs of quality to the Pilgrimstore.
