Steve Madden Designer Lightweight 24 Inch Expandable Softside Suitcase with 4 Spinner Wheels - Mid-size Checked Luggage for Air Travel, Business Trips & Vacations (Harlo Black) | Perfect for International Flights, Weekend Getaways & Business Conferences

My husband and I took this 24" suitcase, as well as the 28" version, on a week-long cruise, and we were very pleased with them both. Not only were they the most attractive pieces of luggage of the many we viewed while both boarding and disembarking, they performed like a dream. The "Shadow" fabric pattern is very classy, yet stands out, as it has a pattern and sheen reminiscent of a reptile. There are also little touches, such as the large zipper pulls, and leather (Genuine?) tassel and corner patches, that add to the visual appeal. There are handles on the top, bottom, and side, which make it easy to pick up and move. The zippers glide easily, as do the multi-directional wheels. The suitcases were so easy to maneuver in tighter spots that would have been such a hassle to negotiate otherwise. The telescopic handle works well, and seems to be sturdy enough. The suitcases have lots of pocket space, both inside and out, and expand to fit more inside contents. The inside holding capacity is also ample, as I estimate the 24" held about 35 pounds, give or take, and the 28" easily held at least 50-60 - both including a few bottles of alcohol we brought back - (and we'd weighed the 28" at about a little under 50 lbs before the trip to not surpass weigh limits). The suitcases themselves are light-weight, and the 24" suitcase fits neatly inside the 28" suitcase. In closing, I would highly recommend these suitcases, as they are 'the whole package.'
