My new GLAM carry-on travel bag…
OK so the love of my life and I decided that we are no longer going to pay the damned airlines to check our extra luggage when we go on vacation and have them charge us extreme fees to do so. No mas! We are tired of paying the extra fees which can become very hefty depending on how many suitcases you check into the airport. Also, checking luggage cuts down on my duty-free shopping time and that is very annoying when Iam just making it to the airport on time (wink). And I know that there will be times where I’ll need to check in a bag depending on how long we go away for, but when we take an airplane we’re only gone for at most 5-7 days and there are always laundry facilities at our reach.
Our solution is to just cut out the extra luggage (grrrrr) and to just travel lite. Common sense? Yes, but I tend to take a lot of stuff with me on vacation – it’s stuff I need! Anyway, I have now gone down from a huge rolling duffle bag that has to be checked (almost always a little over 50lbs – I have to take a couple of things out to bring it to 50) to a cute, textured (scaley), patent leather carry-on with swivel wheels. The wheels are swivel, as I said, so you can turn the carry on in 360 degree turns easily. It feels as if the carry-on glides when you pull it or move it around.. The best thing about it is that I can take it with me on the plane.
The name of the maker of my carry-on is Kathy Van Zeeland, retails for $260. I grabbed it at TJ Maxx for $79.99. Thanks again for the great prices TJ Maxx! The name of the carry-on is called the “Kathy Van Zeeland Travelware GLAM shot 21″ Expandable Upright”. When I saw it I said that belongs with me. It’s chic, glossy looking, has cute embellishments, is textured material, the color black, durable and it’s totally glam from my point of view. The “I’m Yours” luggage tag came with the bag for free and I think it’s a nice touch to the bag. The tag matches the inside of the carry-on so it gets to stay!
Every embellishment, the pull out handle and zippers are in tact and are all still covered in the plastics they came in. The carry-on is sturdy and is good quality = it can take a beating if it needed to go through one. The carry-on is expandable so I can put more stuff in it if need be. I can keep it looking nice longer and keep it from getting destroyed at the airport because I can carry it on the airplane without checking. Sweet! It was the last black one so I jumped on it quick. I just think this carry-on is so me and it’s fabulous to boot!
SIDE NOTE: I included this in my beauty blog because luggage is storage and it hold/protects makeup and beauty products like a purse. Luggage can definitely be made to be an added fashionable accessory. Ha!
Here are pictures (taken with my Iphone outside so forgive me for bad quality) and a tour of my new carry-on…
