We’ve made it our mission to design incredibly lightweight and durable luggage, creating a special formulated shell that’s both sleek and strong.

UpLIFT’s thoughtful design balances durability and style and is sure to enhance your future travels.

Review: With the new size restrictions of 22x14x9” for airline carryon luggage, I had to ditch my Delsey, which btw, I love; it has a depth of 10”. I researched if the 1” extra would be a problem on airlines and for every one of them, including foreign airlines, it was a solid yes. After reading so many reviews on desertcart and on the internet comparing lots of luggage, I decided on this Samsonite because of the company’s longstanding reputation. This carryon fits 22x14x9” airline standard. And yes, the 5lbs that it states in the description is pretty accurate. The shell is very lightweight and can be pushed in easily. I’m glad it’s a carryon and not going in the cargo hold; I’d be worried about heavier luggage being thrown on it and possibly cracking the shell. But maybe it won’t. In any case, it’ll be safe in an overhead bin. I bought the blue, and although I am generally not a fan of lighter blues, this has a metallic sheen that is very pleasing. The pull-up handle is pretty smooth with minimal wabble…there is always some give on these handles. The TSA lock works great. I read some reviews stating the bag came locked with no instructions. My advice, Google or YouTube it. I also saw some reviews saying the zipper pull on the lining at the bottom of the compartment was sewn in backwards. I Googled it! It’s supposed to be that way. Makes sense though, not only for repairs but the pull won’t get caught on clothing sitting against it. The carryon appears to have enough room for 3-4 days for clothing; I haven’t tried it yet. I will be traveling to Europe in June so I may do a follow-up to speak on the durability after being thrown in and out of a tour bus. But so far, and because of the Samsonite reputation, it’s a keeper.
Review: I am in love, gorgeous suitcase!

It's a very lightweight, attractive, and simple suitcase. 4 stars because there is no rubber bumper around the zipper/suitcase border so the zipper fabric is a bit exposed to potential wear and tear.
