This suitcase is a thing of beauty! Lovely shade of purple and textured lips everywhere. She was a last min purchase after looking on the high street for a good value large and different suitcase (ordered Thursday - flying out on the Weds) She arrived in less than 24 hours when i had paid standard delivery only. Her first outing was to Ibiza and i can say she was the only version of her seen at the whole of the airport so easy to spot her on the carousel. She is sturdy and easy to maneuver. My luggage allowance was 23kg and she easily fitted this. She is a big bird but she is lightweight. Filled fully to capacity she is about 27kg. Lovely purply colour, really unusual. Study legs to hold her big frame. She has an expander but i honestly think you would need to be going away for like a month to have to use it as she is so big! So far cannot fault! she is off on a cruise on 1st July - she is a get around already
