Rimowa

I have not traveled with this bag yet, but it is very light weight with lots of room. My 200 pound son stood on it to see what would happen. It immediately returned to its original shape. Can't wait to travel with it.

This suitcase cracked during its first use while it was in my car trunk! Of course, there were no sharp objects or anything else that could damage the case. The polycarbonate material is extremely brittle. Of course, Rimowa's warranty does not cover cracks, scratches or pretty much anything else. Consider this before buying this low-quality product with a useless warranty.

This is the worst suitcase I have ever had, especially given the price. Do not buy! I have used mine 4 times. The liner is already falling out and one wheel broke on my last trip, and I pack light. The velcro on the inside snags clothing inside as there is no place to store and secure it when the flap for pushing clothing down is open. As other reviews indicate, the outside does get banged up, which looks kind of cool. However, after only 4 normal US trips, mine is completely beat up. Only giving one star because that is as low as it can go on this rating system. I'm hoping Zappos will be kind enough to return it.

Just purchased and took my carry-on on it's maiden voyage. Gate checked it, and when it was returned to me, it had a huge dent in the corner. I tried to just push it back out, and cannot seem to do so. Think carefully about this product before you buy. I travel a lot, which is why I spent the money on this bag. Now I need to take it to Fedex and ship it to a luggage store in me, who will look at it and decide what to do. Seriously! For the cost, they should send you a new one. I am extremely displeased.

I cannot say how much I love this suitcase. I travel a lot, and have health problems that make lifting and managing suitcases very difficult. This suitcase fits all of the ridiculous junk that I have to take on trips to make sleep and survival possible. Pulling a suitcase is really hard for me, and this one just effortlessly comes alongside or in front of me. I have two of them, and if I put them handle side to handle side, I can have them both move easily in front of me and manage them with one hand. Don't let them go on a sloped walkway though, or they will take off on an excursion of their own, and you will be chasing them. They have been on a number of trips, within the US and internationally, and have held up perfectly so far. If you overstuff and blow the zipper, it realigns itself by rezipping. I have both the 32" inchers, and the smaller ones, about 26" I think. One thing about the small ones. The compartments are not deep enough to take larger items, and I needed at least one big bag to make it work. Great bags. I love them.

This is the lightest suitcase I've ever owned. It just floats on its multiwheels and looks amazing in ultra violet. The quality of Rimowa is superb. I have owned a Rimowa carry-on hardcase since 2006 and had to have a larger version. I would highly recommend this particular Salsa Air. I really like the zippered compartments on each side which help keep items in place and makes it easier to zip it up when fully packed. Make no mistake - this bag is huge. I tend to overpack as a result.

Superb purchase! Exactly what we needed. Price was right (high, but less than stores), very prompt delivery. We've been fans of Zappos for shoes for some time, but this was our first major non-shoe purchase. And, the bag proved itself on a recent trip to Chicago and New York; soon, to Europe also.

I love this suitcase! I ordered both the Tumi and the Rimowa carry-on and the, and the Rimowa is far superior. I had trouble with the Tumi locking mechanism from the start. I called Zappos, and they were wonderful about trying to help, but to no avail. The only way to open the Tumi was to return it to them for repair! I was able to return the Tumi to Zappos in exchange for the Rimowa. In addition, the Rimowa is significantly larger (still carry-on size), with a strong stout handle and wheels that roll like a breeze. The Tumi's lock was defective from the start. When I had the problem with the Tumi lock, it was after working hours, and I could not reach anyone. The suitcase was locked with all of my clothes inside, and there was no way to open it. I had to have TSA open the lock at the airport, which was a huge hassle No question, the Rimowa is the way to go. I love it!

I've only used it once so I won't be able to rate it yet on how it holds up. First impression is that it's very light, very easy to wheel around on hard surfaces, and the red color is gorgeous and easy to spot at baggage claim. The zipper seems a little iffy but time will have to tell on that. They get such great reviews everywhere that I'm hopeful it holds up well. I'm not in love with the clamshell style where both sides of the suitcase hold clothes rather than having more of a big bottom section with a lid (I'm probably not describing that very well). If you want to keep your clothes in the suitcase rather than unpacking it makes it more of a challenge to get in & out of the suitcase every time you want something. Also, this is my first spinner and while I love how easy it is to push around it does roll away on its own so if you're not on level ground you have to be aware of not letting that happen. And pushing it on the carpeting in my hotel was tough so I ended up tilting it up on 2 wheels anyway - a minor complaint but it's something to consider if most of your floors will be carpeted. It survived its first 2 flights with minimal scuffs and no gouges or deep scratches. I'm worried about the wheels getting snapped off with the way bags are handled but fingers crossed it holds up! I'm giving it 5 stars for now but that might get adjusted if there are zipper or wheel issues over the next few times I use it.

The Rimowa is an unalloyed pleasure to use! Easy pack, easy carry, easy push, easy pull, light as a feather, and yes, gorgeous! There will be lots of cheap imitations, and some imitations not so cheap. This is worth every dollar you spend on it. It is, as they say, tres elegante!

This suitcase is the lightest and most maneuverable suitcase I've used. I use the 22" for short trips; the 26" for longer ones.

I bought this suitcase to help me move from Chicago to Amsterdam. I took about 5 suitcases with me, and this was the easiest to pack and transport. It's such a simple concept - a big plastic square box, but I haven't seen anyone else who makes suitcases like this. The design makes the suitcase very easy to pack because there are no bumps or ridges to pack around, just a vast expanse of flat space. The best feature is that each half of the suitcase can be zipped up and sealed so you can open and close the suitcase without everything falling out again. I only took it on one trip so far, but I didn't see any evidence of damage on the suitcase, so it's holding up well so far. I plan to use it in the future as the main suitcase for me and my partner to use while traveling, because it's big enough to hold both of our stuff for a week and it's a dream to roll through airports.

We love the Sports Trunk Rimowa. It was really light, and we packed the trunk so full thinking it would be overweight, but it came out to be less than 50lbs.! Would consider buying another one in near future.

Love, love, love it. Three outside zipped pockets make all the difference to Rimowa's already superb quality and features.

The handle doesn't lock in between the fully extended and fully retracted positions. I think it's supposed to.

I love my purple Rimowa luggage. This is my third piece...looking forward to adding the fourth and having the complete set. It is lightweight, easy to pack, and rolls like a dream. I managed all three pieces and my carry on tote by myself on a recent trip. People are always asking what it is and where I got it and I tell them Zappos! This particular piece is perfect for a multi-clothes change weekend or that extra bag for a long trip. There is no excuse for not being properly prepared and with my Rimowa I can take it all!

This suitcase is definitely light weight and easy to handle. It also looks good. But it is not as sturdy as it claims to be. After one long haul plane trip, one of the corners was cracked - probably the result of incorrect handling. But then you cannot expect airlines to handle luggage with kid gloves. I would use this bag for car trips or as carry-on (a smaller size, obviously), but I will not be purchasing another one for airplane travel.

I love my Salsa Air! It is so pretty in this purple color and so light to move around. It also fits a lot!

This small suitcase is very light & easy to roll. As an older woman traveling alone, I found it especially easy to use. It is expensive, but if you want something that is truly lightweight, this is a good choice.

I shopped around for a 4-wheel "spinner" for quite some time, and I couldn't find a better one than this. It is light, has plenty of storage, rolls very well, feels durable and well-constructed, and looks great! The organizers on the inside are tremendously useful, too. You can open up the suitcase, and nothing falls out and it's exactly where you put it. The outside pockets are great, too. The lower pocket is perfectly designed to care an iPad snuggly. You can certainly find a less expensive spinner (check out Tumi and Samsonite), but if you compare them side-by-side, you'll see that this one is far superior.
