Hard to call this a Samsonite. I took one international flight and the luggage has major cuts deep on the plastic and scraps and bends that make the luggage now essentially unusable. Do not buy this item, it is a joke that should not be called a suitcase.
I bought this earlier this month for a trip to LA. On one trip it received a lot of scratches which doesnt bother me, but the zipper which goes into the lock was bent on its maiden voyage. So on the return flight home I had to use a lock I picked up to keep the luggage securely locked shut. The suitcase itself works great, but a hard plastic instead of metal zipper on the outside of the suitcase is a major flaw.
I was looking for a lightweight bag that could accommodate everything I needed and and not be hard on me Physically! This one fit the Bill ! Quality, attractive and most durable, I’m sure . Samsonite has always be my choice ! Awesome suitcase .. attractive, light weight and expandable.. great price too.... I love it !!
