I bought this luggage brand new and used it only once for my Alaskan cruise. I did not fly to my embarkation port so it did not go through baggage handling at the airport but was handled by porters at the pier. The exterior of the luggage had a lot of scratches and scrapes after only one use. I suggest buying a luggage cover for protection. The luggage was lightweight but felt like it was falling apart after being filled with clothes, 3 purses, 3 pairs of shoes. I did not even have to use the expandable feature. The handles also felt like they were about to come off so I was very careful lifting them. Not sure if this luggage will last for a few more trips. . I beg to disagree with those who gave a 5 star rating for this luggage.
Looking for new luggage set and this one is the clear favorite for me, however I’m not able to make a complete set because it does not come in medium. Will that eventually be added to the freeform collection?
After only I trip this luggage is so scratched and looks terrible and this was after doing carry on, not checking the luggage. Would not buy again or recommit to anyonr. Plus the company says they will reach out to you but has anyone really done it and made itvright
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I currently own 3 Freeform Large spinners and have traveled extensively with them. The scratches on the exterior is just something you have to get over. I mean, they are beautiful beforehand and all scratches will become very visible after light use. The wheels of one cracked, the zipper broke on another, and the handles have been doing pretty well after multiple usage. If I knew it would scratch this much, I would probably have opted for a more rubber exterior. I currently have the Freeform carry-on and when they went to check it in, I reached out like NoOoOo to avoid the scratches. Wonderful suitcases just be prepared to get upset at the scratching.
P.S. After uploading my photos, I am embarrassed that I was checking these suitcases in with the scratches.

We purchased all 3 sizes looking to replace some older luggage.We recently used the Med sized bags for our trip to Europe. It appears the matte finish isn’t very durable and shows every single scratch on it. The stippling design easily scratched ed and flakes not the best look for a brand new bag. The rubber trim is somewhat flimsy as well. When we arrived back to our home airport one of the bag’s rubber trim was all bent out of shape from being transported or who knows what the TSA baggage handlers do to your luggage behind closed doors. Still the product should be designed to anticipate such rough handling especially from a manufacturer like Samsonite who used have a commercial stating not even an angry gorilla could damage their product. I guess those days are long gone. Lesson learned, a well known product name no longer means anything when they do not uphold their reputation.

I just got this pretty luggage at the recommendation of a friend. On my first trip with it, I checked it at one airport and picked it up two hours later at our destination airport and the zipper pull was missing. This is not inexpensive stuff! So disappointed.
