Balenciaga has recently decided to release some interesting pieces of roll on luggage. I was able to find some nice detailed picture of this roll on bag. The Balenciaga website calls it a "Classic Carry On" since it has the traditional Motorcycle line characteristics.
I like it, but it is not for the budget conscious. Of course it would be great to travel in style with Bal luggage, but it is also not practical to get them all dinged up going through the airport/airplane with it. Usually my choice of suitcase is from Macy's where you can get several pieces for less than $100. Even if I did have the extra cash, I would drop it on another handbag rather than luggage lol.
More posts on luggage here and here.
Definitely agree, J. As I don't travel much, I can't rationalize the cost/wear, especially for pricey items! I'm also not a fan of the tassels on luggage. I can imagine it getting caught in luggage claim spinning wheel (is there a term for that?!) *shudders* They should make them in giant hardware!
ReplyDeleteSorry, that should've been "can't justify the cost/wear". Long day at work!
ReplyDeleteAgree Cee, you have a valid point. Even if they reinforce the tassels by sewing a seam down it won't last through the luggage claim/being tossed around.
ReplyDeleteI travel quite a bit but I still couldn't justify the cost. And i'm with you I couldn't see it lasting too long considering how they tend to chuck peoples luggage around :|
ReplyDeleteI'd rather have a new bag!xx
