Customer Reviews Lipault Paris Original Plume Spinner 72/26 Packing Case

I always walked by the Lipault store in Paris when I was working there, and the colors in the window caught my eye. So when after I became tired of my 10yr old black Tumi, I decided to replace it with something more fun. Best decision. I have an older model, but it is the best bag... super easy to push/pull in any direction, stylish, lightweight, and clearly quite durable. It's not advertised as waterproof, but mine has endured several very wet situations and still kept my things dry inside. Highly recommend.

Am a big Lipault fan despite the new fashion of the ultra light weight hard cases. These suitcases which I have in different sizes are much more adaptable to extra packing, shopping, gifts etc..

A fabulous piece of luggage. Light weight yet sturdy. Great wheels and maneuvering. Wonderful fabric and colors. Easily stuffable with extra travel purchases. Best travel item!

I bought the 26" size for a trip to Sweden & Norway. It worked so well hauling it around for 8 days of traveling. It holds so much that my son borrowed some of my extra space along the way! When you set it upright, clothes fall toward the bottom so it creates space on the top. The airlines managed to get black grease marks all over the one I purchased in orange. I used a heavy degreaser spray cleaner on it, & cleaned it up spotless upon my return. It is also so light weight for the size, I was much under the 50# bag limit at check-in. The only improvement could be the wheels which didn't work very well pulling it over the cobblestone streets & sidewalks of Scandinavia. Suitcases need rubber tire wheels like cars!

I had to stop using my whole set hard luggage when hubby had hernia & I hurt my wrist ( yrs ago. Since then we ve purchased all Lipault luggage (& totes /duffle that go over handle of suitcase ) over time . We have in 28" , 26". 22" & 20" !!! Luv them all & use different sized depending on trip or simple day excursion OR when we just don't want to "schlep" tons of shopping bags !!! Thank you for stylish, practical , useful , excellent products !!! PS: recommended your products to many others & given them as gifts!!!!

we use it for family vacation that is over a week long.

It is so lightweight that you get 45 pounds of stuff to pack. Folds for easy storage. I suggest packing cubes as packing area is a large crater.

I would recommend this bag because it is very light and packs a lot! Also it wheels very well without tipping over. It is very stable which is so impirtant. I love this suitcase.

My mother gifted me this Lipault as I did not have a large luggage. It was so stylish and lightweight, I was so excited to use! Sadly, that excitement diminished the second time I traveled with the bag. On my second trip using this bag, the wheel and it's plastic corner that holds it all together came completely off. There were holes all round. I was very disappointed.

I bought an entire set of Lipault luggage in the fuschia (plume) color- 5 pieces in all. The exterior nylon material does not stand up well to wear and tear. After each of the pieces first use, the luggage looked filthy. I can no longer take the bags on business trips and the marks could not be removed with 401 or Spray N Wash, as suggested by Lipault. Also, despite using the straps to hold the interior contents in place, the contents shift, causing the luggage to tilt forward and fall. I bought the bags for their unusual color and light weight. I wish I hadn't. I've barely used the luggage and already have to look for a new set- loss of significant $$$

Another trip planned, and more angst about the bag. At 28", it has great capacity especially for our long trips, usually 2-3.5 weeks. However, regardless if my wife uses packing-cubes, rolls her clothing ..everything ends up in one big heap at the bottom of the bag. What a mess. The inside straps do little to slow the progression of her items to very bottom of the bag. Luggage at this level, at this price is meant to be an investment and a joy to pack and travel with. Not this one. Not this product line.
