When it came time to choose my luggage I admit it was quite stressful, I needed a big bag, 23kgs of my life had to fit in this bag. But what I didn't know was that where you're going has to take into account. Here are a few tips or things to look in to when buy luggage.


One of the things I look for in a bag is it has to have four wheels, and four sturdy wheels. It's so much easier to wheel it around from airport to airport and if you get tired lean it up against a wall, it makes for a great seat. 

Another thing I look for is weight. When I was looking for a suitcase I wanted the lightest possible bag, (try and fit your life in to one suitcase), you don't want a bag that all ready weighs 5kgs. This is why I love the 'it luggage', it is the lightest suitcase worldwide, it only weights 1.9kgs, how awesome is that!


I love that this brand of suitcase is known worldwide, when travelling overseas and your luggage cracks or a wheel falls off at least you know you can take it in to get repaired anywhere, it also has 10 years guarantee.

When buying a bag especially if you're a girl always look for a suitcase that has two poles handle, it makes the best resting station for your carry-on luggage or your hand bag, because we all know they can get heavy. Having carry handles on the top and side does make it much easier to lift and place in a car or on to the conveyor belt when checking in.



Another thing to look in to when shopping is an expander zip. I may not have that much stuff to take with me, but knowing me I will come back with loads of stuff so having that expander zip is there is a load off my shoulders when packing. (did you see what it did there)




When it comes to the inside of a suitcase I always look for straps for the inside. I hate getting to the destination finding that everything has been rattling around in inside and nothing is organised, It makes me go crazy. I also love the mesh pocket on the inside of the bag I love storing all of my jewellery and sock and underwear.



Lastly my favourite thing about this bag is that it is purple you won't lose this one and nobody will take off with it to. I have had to many black bags disappear when a person has walked off with my bag thinking it's theirs, so it's not happing this time.

This bag fits all of my requirements of a luggage bag; I think it will work well with all of my upcoming travels. Now all I have to do is fit all of my belongings in it. Now that's going to be a challenge.
If you are interested in getting one of these bags you can get them at your local Strandbags or most luggage shops, also feel free to visit their website for other bags.
