The case itself also has a TSA lock, four 360 degree wheels and an innovative twisting handle, so when you drag the case along the handle rotates for a more comfortable grip. It’s ideal for squishing anything soft like clothes but you’d struggle to fit a lot of solid, bulky items like any souvenirs you might pick up.
TRUNKI SECRET COMPARTMENTS ZIP
You can fit a lot inside for how compact the suitcase is thanks to the deep case, expandable zip and organised compartments. I particularly like using mine alongside Antler’s Chelsea packing cubes (£49) which are made to perfectly fit the flat base of the suitcase.

The Antler Expandable Cabin is a hard shell suitcase with a number of interior compartments. This attractive Antler suitcase in Mineral blue has ticked every box. I also wanted one which would fit the sizing requirements for carry on luggage with most airlines. I wanted one that was hardy enough to be thrown on a train and small enough to fit the overhead compartments. I’d been on the lookout for a good small suitcase for months when I came across the Antler Expandable Cabin.

While some travellers congratulate themselves for only taking hand luggage or a carry-on, the rest of us need a serious suitcase – and probably more than one (especially now that kids demand their own ride-on luggage). It is also referred to as a steamer trunk or Victorian trunk.With holidays on the way, finding the best suitcase is a serious business. It can also be used as a US Navy, Marine Corps, Army, or Air Force retirement gift, and repurposed as a shadow box idea for any of these branches. This large antique dome top trunk would make a great military or navy retreat present, shadow box idea, or storage trunk. To protect the trunk, a spar varnish has been applied to all surfaces, providing a rough barrier coating, protection from sunlight in sunny spaces, and repelling water or humidity. Inside the lid, there is an original waterproof canvas or tooled leather handle that was once wrapped in protective paper that was removed during restoration, exposing the beautifully aged and cured pine wood that is over 100 years old. There are two nail strips around the body and cover, and a working lock, although there is no key. The trunk features dated latches from July 1, 1873, original end caps, and new leather handles. This is a 19th century antique dome top trunk that has been restored with silvery black polished hardware that blends beautifully with the honey-gold finish of the pine wood body and golden oak slats.
