Steve MaddenDesigner Luggage Collection - Lightweight Softside Expandable Suitcase for Men & Women - Durable 20 Inch Carry On Bag with 4-Rolling Spinner Wheels (20in, Global Black)

The suitcase is colorful, well made, lightweight, and sturdy. The wheels work well in all directions and I had no problems with it toppling over. It is large enough to hold several sets of clothes, but still works as a carryon.

This bag was just right for my weekend trip and it held everything I neededI love the colors and the Style and rolls effortlesslyZippers worked great tooVery maneuverable with not much weight either

Perfect for my needs, the handle is somewhat floppy. Beautiful.

Me: looking for the cheapest, biggest suitcase that still counts as a free carry-on that will not fall apart before I return home in about two weeks.First mistake: I was traveling internationally and had layovers in tinier countries (I’m from the US) with tinier planes. The very rude stewards of Austrian airlines made sure I felt like a miserable piece of trash from bringing a suitcase of this size anywhere near the gate. This suitcase kind of pushes the dimensions as it is, and don’t even think about using that expansion zipper if you want to roll this down aisles in Italian trains.Some good points: it’s a pretty suitcase 🤷🏻‍♀️ . The blue is as bright as it’s depicted in the photos, which makes it super easy to find at the bag claim when you really need to pee and the line for customs getting back into the US was about fifty times as long as passport control in all four of the European airports I was in. The metal/plastic handle and wheels were very cooperative, if not 100% effortless. The fabric handle that kind of “hides” in the fabric of the suitcase was sturdy and elegant. It has compression belts (don’t know what to call them) built in, which I should have just used instead of wasting money on those mesh compression zip-up bags everyone raves about. It has the two pockets on front, which I appreciate to prevent those “where is it it was JUST here” moments for things like chapstick or tissues. Those pockets are a little thin though and I didn’t trust putting my important documents or anything valuable in them, so they became somewhat vestigial and I rued prioritizing them when I should have just brought a bigger “personal item” (purse, since I am a woman and pockets are illegal).Back to my other downside: when I research and invest in a quality product, it’s because I know I will be requiring the full extent of its capabilities. AKA: I still have the Jansport backpack I bought in college because I can fill that thing to the seams and have full faith that the zippers stay closed and the stitching stays together. By my second international destination, I started to worry that this suitcase would pop a hole. (Especially when that Austrian steward rips it out of your hands and you have to imagine airport workers tossing it from twenty feet into a luggage orgy, which left my beautiful cobalt bag with dirty, unremovable stripes of …whatever they go through.) Thankfully no hole occurred, but I don’t think I trust this suitcase enough for another international trip. The stitching was very visible and in distress.If I were taking a car trip, I would certainly try to get another use out of this. But even though it’s lightweight, it’s just large enough to be a little inconvenient (and to goad you into packing too much and when you ask the Austrian steward for help because you have a migraine and you miss your boyfriend and your family and you’re starting to cry, they will laugh inside as they watch the suitcase pummel you after you gracelessly yank it out of the overhead compartment). But you’re certainly not getting as much space as other bags that have to fly checked. So ultimately it ends up being a pretty inconvenient size, at least where international travel is concerned.So yeah. Not a bad bag. But learn from my mistakes. And just skip Austria altogether. Don’t schedule layovers there. I don’t care if the other flight is more expensive. The kind of ready-made sandwiches they sold are disgusting to the American taste. And nobody sells Advil! If you’re from the US, you better stock up on ibuprofen, benedryl, melatonin, whatever you need, because Europe is VERY different. Don’t fly Austrian airlines. Okay thanks for reading, have a good one.

It can pack a lot of things and I love all the zippers on the outside for books, glasses, passports etc. I am very happy with this case. We travel extensively and go through bags and this one has all the outside pockets with the room inside.

This suitcase is stylish and well made. I love all of the contrasting detail. The overall size is good for a carry on suitcase. The front pockets hold everything I need for the day of travel so it’s easy access without a big purse.

As of lately I have been very big on getting all my travel items to match. I originally ordered the the grey and tan version of this suitcase (for purpose of not having a black luggage bag like most) however I felt the grey to look a bit greenish and was not pleased with the color so I had returned it for this black/tan version. I love this suitcase! It is esthetically very pleasing. I attached a small lanyard to the side for a subtle identification that it is MY bag when out in public) and it matches the new carrier for my pup. I really do love the different pockets inside the bag which allows me to organize my items I travel with. I use the front large bottom pocket to carry my 13" macbook pro (and sometimes ipad mini) for easy access when getting through TSA. Overall the bag has been excellent! The only concern is how long the pull out handle will last along and the 4 wheels (the handle doesn't feel too sturdy, especially when having my dog carrier on top of the bag). When having my dog carrier on top I will roll the bag by holding it with two hands and do my best to not apply to much pressure to only the handle when pushing.. this is also my first 4 wheeler bag and I have not always heard the best about 4 wheelers lasting long. However, I do not plan to check this bag ever so I'm hoping within my care I can keep it to last relatively well. Very happy with my purchase so far!

Unfortunately I don’t have enough time to return this carry on bag or to get a replacement. The color is lovely, the overall look of the bag is exactly what I was hoping for, it looks like it has plenty of space for a multi day trip, however, there was a huge tear in the stitching on the side. Not really sure what happened, I was able to repair it somewhat by hand stitching it, which luckily I know how to do, so I could use it for my trip but am not thrilled to have spent this much to have a damaged product arrive that needed fixing and I don’t have any other feasible options to use this short notice.Hopefully the rest of the bag holds up okay with actual use. :/ it’s also missing the locking mechanism for the zippers. Overall I like the bag but am questioning how durable it will actually be in the long run.

Love this so much! It is great quality. The zippers glide really nicely and it is super sturdy. The also have the largest size. Love them. Don’t waste you money on the $100 bags that fall apart in one use! These can really handle anything. The airlines did pull off one of the cute tassels so maybe remove those if you don’t want them lost.
