Design
The Calvin Klein Luggage Unisex Flatiron 3.0 29″ Upright Suitcase has been designed to fuse fashion and functionality together while offering the customer with a durable and hard-wearing suitcase. On first glance, you immediately notice the eye-catching branding of Calvin Klein in the horizontal design across the front of the case. This is exactly what Calvin Klein does best, producing desirable high-end fashion which is minimalist in style, which is evident in the fact that there is only one exterior pocket which is less than the usual two for soft-sided suitcases. The suitcase comes with spinner wheels along with a telescopic handle making it easy to use, with very little strain on your arm or shoulder.
Storage
The Calvin Klein Luggage comes with a range of storage options nestled inside this fashion piece. On the outside of the suitcase, you will notice that there is only one, not two external pockets as found on the Steve Madden Tribal Luggage Large 29″ Expandable Suitcase With Spinner Wheels. With the one large exterior pocket, you will be able to store your travel documents and items that you require quick access to, without having to open your case and search inside. Once inside the suitcase, you will find a large main compartment for your clothing, which can be held in place by the two tie-down straps located inside. On the inside of the lid, you will find a large zip lined pocket to place any loose items or valuables, keeping your suitcase organized throughout your trip.
Features
The Calvin Klein Luggage comes packed full of features in a stylish and fashionable suitcase. You will first notice that there is both a top and side carry handle, that will allow you to easily pick up and place the suitcase in the trunk of a car, or to easily pick up off the luggage carousel. The suitcase has also been made to be used with very little effort needed on your part, with four spinner wheels and a retractable trolley handle, you will be able to glide through the crowds with ease. There is one exterior zip pocket which allows you easy and quick access to anything that you place inside, as well as tie-down straps and an interior pockets making it easy to keep your suitcase organized.
Weight
The Calvin Klein Luggage weighs in at just 9.4 lbs, which is much lighter than the large suitcase in the Hauptstadtkoffer Luggage 3-piece set. With a lightweight suitcase, you have the ability to pack more of your items without having to worry about the weight restrictions imposed by your airline carrier. With a soft-sided large suitcase such as this, you have to choose between weight, durability, and features, with Calvin Klein doing a great job of designing a suitcase that is lightweight, durable, and has the features that you need most.
Durability
It is always a balance between durability and weight, with many companies opting for a blend of both in order to combat two of the biggest issues facing modern day travelers. Calvin Klein seems to have got the right balance between the two, as it is very difficult to find any previous buyers who have complained. As with most luggage brands, it would be best to take care of your suitcase by not placing any unnecessary strain on the wear and tear points for it to last you a lot longer.
Style
For a fashion label like Calvin Klein, the style of a suitcase is almost as important as how the suitcase actually performs. The Calvin Klein Luggage is smart, sophisticated, and fashionable, with the signature logo and horizontal stripe that personifies Calvin Klein. The suitcase comes in three different color options, blue, black, and brown, with each one sporting the same minimalist style. It is an eye-catching design, which will get people admiring it as it passes them by on the luggage carousel.
Size
The Calvin Klein Luggage measures in at 29 x 19.5 x 10 inches, which is the size of the shell and does not include the wheels and the handle. It is worth noting that unlike the Caribbean Joe Luggage Castaway 4-Piece Spinner Suitcase Set, it is not expandable, meaning that the size you see here is the largest it will be.
Warranty
The Calvin Klein luggage comes with a 5-year warranty, a guarantee that your luggage will be free of manufacturing defects for five years from the date of the original purchase. Although, this guarantee does not cover normal wear and tear, misuse or neglect of the product, or damage by a carrier.
