Luggage comes in all sizes, colours and patterns these days but generally luggage brands stick to the traditional purpose of luggage – to carry your personal items whilst on the move.  One would expect a good set of luggage to be lightweight, secure and easy to manoeuvre, whilst remaining stylish and tasteful.

But what happens when luggage gets a little too travel clever?

This happens…..luggage becomes transport!

Innovative inventor company Hammacher Schlemmer has invented The Only Scootercase. This alternative hand luggage converts into a scooter so you can transport yourself and your luggage through the airport and beyond in super quick time.  Here at Case Luggage HQ we’re wondering if travel insurance companies would payout upon an airport scooter related crash…we doubt it!

Maybe luggage like this is best kept for the kids; or the kid inside us all.  We’re uncertain if this new luggage innovation is likely to catch on with busy business travellers or holiday makers impatient to hit the hotel bar, but we can’t deny we do love some luggage fun. If you have seen any other great ideas, please get in touch!

If you’re not keen on ‘propelling’ yourself through the airport then why not opt for a piece of stylish Samsonite carry on luggage, Bric’s carry on luggage or Knomo hand luggage all with free UK delivery.

Caseluggage.com is proud to present our latest range of carry-on suitcases, branded with the slogan, “Keep Calm and Carry On,” these cases are not be missed this Christmas. Available in black & red, these cases are sure to be very popular presents. We also have the opportunity for you to win one of these cases in our current Facebook competition – please click here.

If you are looking for a hard-shell carry on then how about one of our Tumi cases? We have some great choices of colours in the Tumi Vapor range. Vapor provides you with a totally new and advanced travel experience. It offers an ultra-modern style that defies definition, the protection of a hardside case, and a surprisingly lightweight, easy-to-maneuver design. What more could you ask for?

Dont forget, we also stock a large Samsonite range of carry on suitcases. Our best selling range at the moment is ‘Cosmolite’ which is currently on special offer across the entire range – BUY ONE & GET THE SECOND CASE HALF PRICE. If the Cosmolite range doesn’t tempt you, then how about a ‘B-Lite’ or a ‘Cubelite’?

Just think what you could spend it on:

• A Lulu Guinness Lips Case

• A Knomo Bloomsbury Trolley

• A Tumi Travel Satchel

They would team up with the world’s finest travel goods brand to create some very special collections – and once again that is exactly what they have done, with Tumi and Ducati reigniting their first collaboration from a few years ago.

First up is a multi layered polycarbonate/abs hard shell collection with added soft nylon pockets for extra functionality and feel. This stylish, vibrant range is rooted in the design aesthetic of Ducati’s beautiful bikes. 4 wheel suitcases allow for extra manoeuvrability, aircraft grade aluminium handles are also a feature as well as add a bag straps and plentiful packing space.

Ducati fans will  certainly love the collection, but there is also something for everyone.

Colours are Race Red, or Black.
