Women's Luggage: Cabin, Hold and Luggage Sets travelite

The women's suitcase section includes the travelite range: Air Base, Next, Umbria, Crosslite, Briize, Paros, and Dynamiic, in sizes S for cabin, M and L for hold, expandable versions, and sets of 3 Millennium and Pacific suitcases. Everything you need for a weekend or a long trip.

Choosing your suitcase, starting with the size

The choice of a suitcase starts with the length of the trip and the mode of transport. A weekend away by plane calls for a cabin suitcase; two weeks with family needs a large checked bag.

The range offers the three classic sizes, S, M, and L, as well as complete sets.

travelite, the luggage specialist

As a luggage specialist, travelite offers several ranges in different styles: Air Base, Next, Umbria, Crosslite, Briize, Paros, or Dynamiic. Each range comes in various sizes, allowing you to create a coordinated set.

The sizes S, M, and L

S: the cabin suitcase, for a weekend or a short trip.
M: a week of travel, checked in.
L: two weeks or more, or a trip for two.
Set of 3: the three sizes, for all kinds of trips.

The cabin suitcase

Each airline sets its own dimensions and weight for cabin luggage. Check these before booking, especially with a budget airline, which may be stricter. An S suitcase must fit within the size restrictions, including wheels and handles.

The expandable suitcase

Models marked “ext.”, like the Air Base or the expandable Umbria, can be enlarged with an extra zipper. Travel light and come back with souvenirs.

Be careful: an extended cabin suitcase may exceed the allowed dimensions.

The sets of 3 suitcases

The Millennium and Pacific sets combine three suitcases of different sizes that nest for storage. An economical and practical solution for equipping a whole family or covering all types of travel.

Two wheels or four?

A suitcase with four wheels can be pushed beside you and easily manoeuvred in airport halls. A two-wheeled suitcase, like the Next 2w, is pulled behind you and handles better on cobblestones and uneven pavements.

Hard or soft?

A hard suitcase offers better protection against bumps and rain. A soft suitcase is lighter and fits more easily in a trunk, often with handy external pockets. The choice depends on your travels.

The padlock

An integrated padlock or combination lock protects the contents during transit. Some padlocks are designed to be opened by customs in certain countries without being forced: check this if you travel frequently abroad.

Packing your suitcase properly

Place shoes and heavy items on the side with the wheels to prevent the suitcase from tipping over. Roll your clothes, tuck small items into shoes, and keep the toiletries bag on top.

Identifying your suitcase

On a baggage carousel, many suitcases look similar. A bright colour, a label, or a ribbon tied to the handle helps you spot yours at a first glance.

The weekend suitcase

For two or three days, an S suitcase is sufficient, even by car or train: two outfits, a toiletries bag, and a pair of shoes. Lighter than a large suitcase, it is easy to carry up the stairs at a train station.

The suitcase for family holidays

For a family, a set of three suitcases distributes belongings: an L for the parents, an M for the children, and an S in the cabin for the essentials. The suitcases can then nest for storage.

Choosing the colour

Black remains classic but easily blends in on baggage carousels. A bright or pastel shade is easier to spot from a distance while still looking stylish.

The checked baggage weight

Airlines limit the weight of checked luggage. Weigh your suitcase before you go using a luggage scale to avoid extra charges at the airport.

Maintaining your suitcase

On your return, wipe down the shell or fabric with a damp cloth, empty and air the inside. Check the wheels and telescopic handle. Store it empty, in a dry place.
