If you\u2019re in the market for a suitcase or piece of hand luggage, here\u2019s our look at some of the best names on the market today.<\/p>\n<h2>Samsonite<\/h2>\n<p>Undoubtedly one of the biggest names in luggage industry, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.samsonite.co.uk\/home\">Samsonite<\/a> are renowned for creating some of the finest products on the market \u2013 all of which combine style and performance to help keep your belongings safe.<\/p>\n<p>After we got in touch with them, here\u2019s what they had to say about what they offer:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>\u201cSamsonite\u2019s goal is to make products that our customers can rely on and enjoy.\u00a0 As such, we are committed to ensuring that we provide a range of products in a variety of cabin sizes matching current airline regulations to cater to the needs of travellers around the world, while also complying with airline industry requirements. We will always ensure to have a wide assortment of travel solutions for different needs, as soon as the market requires it.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>For the complete recommendation, they pointed towards the Spark Spinner as the perfect luggage to take on-board. Measuring at 35cm x 20cm x 55cm, it\u2019s got more than enough space to fit all those products that you can\u2019t live without during your flight. It\u2019s also got a locking device fitted on the side so you never have to worry about leaving that fiddly padlock at home. Also of great benefit is the fact that the size complies with the proposed changes by the International Air Transport Association and, while these have since been scrapped, it\u2019s likely that a similar proposal could emerge in years to come.<\/p>\n<h2>Victorinox<\/h2>\n<p>Another trusted label of the luggage world is <a href=\"http:\/\/www.victorinox.com\/ch\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Victorinox<\/a> and, while they are originally renowned for their famous multi-tool knifes, their range of luggage is also held in a similar regard.<\/p>\n<p>After we got in touch with them, they had three great recommendations for Wendy Wu customers to consider during their holidays:<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>\u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.victorinox.com\/global\/en\/Products\/Travel-Gear\/Carry-On-Bags\/Spectra-2-0-Dual-Access-Global-Carry-On\/p\/31318003\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Spectra 2.0 Dual Access<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-1012 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wendywutours.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/31318003__Spectra-2-153x300.jpg\" alt=\"Spectra 2\" width=\"153\" height=\"300\" \/><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>Winner of the 2014 Red Dot Award for Design Excellence this style comes in 3 main colours: red, black and white.

Their most recent breakthrough is the CX expansion compression system, allowing bags to expand up to 33 per cent and then compress down to their original size.<\/p>\n<p>When we contacted Briggs and Riley, it was the bags that feature the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.briggs-riley.com\/shop\/feature\/cx-expansion\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">CX Expansion system<\/a> that they highly recommended, particularly if people want to really make the most of their luggage allowance ahead of their <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wendywutours.co.uk\/china\/tours\/?utm_source=blog&amp;utm_medium=post&amp;utm_campaign=airline%20luggage\">all-inclusive tour of China<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-1018\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wendywutours.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/QU121SP_31e-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"Briggs and Riley\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wendywutours.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/QU121SP_31e-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.wendywutours.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/QU121SP_31e-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.wendywutours.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/QU121SP_31e-60x60.jpg 60w, https:\/\/www.wendywutours.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/QU121SP_31e-50x50.jpg 50w, https:\/\/www.wendywutours.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/QU121SP_31e.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Another product that they suggested was the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.briggs-riley.com\/torq-international-carry-on-spinner-qu121sp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">International Torq Carry-On Spinner<\/a>, pictured above. This hard shell suitcase also has a protective front pocket, which can be used to store anything from laptops, tablets or other electronics safe and secure. Alternatively it\u2019s a good way to get quick access to a sweater if you\u2019re cold during your flight.<\/p>\n<h2>Delsey<\/h2>\n<p>Another stylish brand in luggage is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.delsey.com\/on\/demandware.store\/Sites-delsey-int-Site\/en\/Home-Splash\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Delsey<\/a>, a French brand that has looked to appease the world\u2019s jet-setting community for decades. While originally specialising in making leather cases for cameras and photographic equipment, they turned their attention to creating luggage in 1970 and they\u2019ve never looked back since. Of all their products, we recommend the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.delsey.com\/int\/en\/p\/helium-classic-55-4w-sl-cab-tr-00380080101.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">helium classic<\/a> as the perfect choice for on-board luggage. As well as being slim and lightweight, there\u2019s plenty of room inside and it\u2019s also got a built-in combination lock on the side to offer complete peace of mind.<\/p>\n<h2>Antler<\/h2>\n<p>Having produced reliable luggage in all shapes and sizes for over a century, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.antler.co.uk\/collections\/aire\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Antler<\/a> know exactly what is needed to create the bag you need. Continually innovating throughout its history, it\u2019s a company that has aimed to stay ahead of the curve by offering bags that suit the needs of travellers. From specially designed cabin luggage, to soft and hard shell suitcases, they are sure to have the perfect product to suit your needs. Of their products, we recommend those from the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.antler.co.uk\/collections\/aire\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Aire<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.antler.co.uk\/collections\/juno-2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Juno<\/a> ranges because of their lightweight construction. After all, if you have a light bag it means you have more to pack before meeting your allowance.<\/p>\n<h2>IT Luggage<\/h2>\n<p>On the subject of weight, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.itluggage.co.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">IT Luggage<\/a> boast the lightest suitcase in the world and weigh as little as 1.4kg. While it may be light enough to pick up with one hand, the aircraft grade materials, which are used in construction, don\u2019t compromise on strength and quality and it\u2019s for this reason perhaps that five million units have been sold worldwide. The World\u2019s Lightest range is available in all manner of sizes, could there be a better way of staying within your allowance?<\/p>\n<p>Another product they offer is the frameless suitcase, one which combines solid protection with an extra-large packing area. The outer shell is far lighter than traditional ABS, and will always retain its shape.
