Discover our high -quality luggage for any kind of travel - from light hand luggage to robust suitcases. Functionality, durability and modern design for carefree travel.
For travellers who value flexibility, travel bags are an excellent choice. Travel bags with wheels combine the spaciousness of a bag with the convenience of a trolley. Travel bags without wheels are particularly lightweight and can be carried as a shoulder bag or with a crossbody strap – ideal for weekend trips and sports holidays.
Suitcase sets
Suitcase sets consist of two or three matching pieces of luggage in the same design. This saves 20–30% compared to buying them individually and offers the right size for any length of trip. Particularly practical: the smaller suitcases can be stowed away in the largest model to save space.
Cabin bags and carry-on bags
Cabin bags serve as an additional piece of hand luggage on the plane. You can store your passport, tablet, headphones and snacks in them, keeping them within easy reach. Many airlines allow one personal bag in addition to your cabin trolley – make the most of this advantage.
The material significantly determines the weight, protection and durability of your luggage:
Hard-shell suitcases
Polycarbonate:
The premium material – extremely impact-resistant, feather-light and returns to its original shape after deformation. Samsonite and TITAN use pure Makrolon polycarbonate. Ideal for frequent flyers.
Polypropylene:
Highly resistant to scratches and impacts, and recyclable. Samsonite Magnum Eco uses this material.
ABS:
The affordable entry-level option – sturdy for occasional travellers, but heavier and less flexible than polycarbonate.
Soft luggage
Nylon:
Tear-resistant, water-repellent and particularly durable. Ballistic nylon is considered virtually indestructible.
Polyester:
Lightweight and affordable, a good everyday companion for train and car journeys.
Features that make the difference
Modern luggage impresses with its well-thought-out details:
TSA lock:
Can be opened by the US Transportation Security Administration without damage – highly recommended for international air travel.
360° double wheels:
Four wheels allow for upright, back-friendly manoeuvring in any direction. Double wheels are quieter and more stable than single wheels.
Ergonomic telescopic handle:
Infinitely adjustable to suit your height.
Expander:
An additional zip increases the volume by 15–25% – perfect for souvenirs on the return journey.
Packing cubes and interior compartments:
Dividers, packing straps and mesh pockets keep your suitcase organised.

Frequently asked questions
What luggage is best suited for air travel?
For air travel, we recommend a polycarbonate hard-shell suitcase with a TSA lock and 4 wheels. The hard shell protects the contents of your suitcase in the hold from knocks and moisture. For hand luggage, a compact cabin trolley (max. 55 x 40 x 20 cm) with a low weight is ideal – this leaves more leeway with the weight limit.
Which is better – hard-shell suitcases or soft-sided luggage?
Hard-shell suitcases offer better protection, are waterproof and stackable – ideal for air travel and delicate items. Soft-sided luggage is lighter, more flexible thanks to its expandable gussets, and offers practical external pockets for quick access – perfect for car and train journeys. For air travel only, we recommend hard-shell suitcases; for flexible travellers, soft-sided luggage.
What size suitcase do I need for my holiday?
As a rule of thumb: you need around 50 litres of suitcase capacity per week of holiday. Hand luggage (S, up to 55 cm) is sufficient for 2–4 days. Medium-sized suitcases (M, 65–70 cm, 60–80 l) are suitable for 1–2 weeks. Large suitcases (L, from 75 cm, 90–110 l) are designed for 2–3 weeks or winter holidays with thick clothing. For winter trips, allow for 30–40% more volume.
What does a TSA lock mean and do I need one?
TSA stands for Transport Security Administration – the US transport security authority. A TSA lock can be opened by security officers using a master key without damaging your lock. Without a TSA lock, officers are permitted to break into the suitcase. A TSA lock is strongly recommended for travel to the USA. It also offers additional security for other international flights.
Is it worth buying a suitcase set or is it better to put one together individually?
A suitcase set saves you 20–30% compared to buying individual pieces – for a 3-piece set, that’s €50–100. Sets are worth it if you travel several times a year for varying lengths of time, or if you’re a couple or family needing different sizes. The most popular combination: S (55 cm) + M (65 cm) + L (75 cm). If you only travel once or twice a year, a single suitcase is sufficient.
How do I look after my luggage properly?
Wipe hard-shell suitcases with a damp cloth and mild detergent – avoid abrasive cleaners. Treat stains on soft-sided luggage with soapy water and vacuum the interior regularly. Check the wheels for debris such as hair or stones. Store your luggage in a dry place, ideally in a protective cover. If the wheels become warped, check the manufacturer’s warranty (2–10 years).
Which luggage brand offers the best value for money?
That depends on your budget. Travelite offers sturdy luggage from €49 – ideal for budget-conscious travellers. American Tourister delivers Samsonite quality at a lower price (from €70). For frequent flyers, it’s worth investing in Samsonite or TITAN, which feature premium materials and a long warranty. Stratic impresses with German craftsmanship in the mid-price range.
Can I take luggage on board as hand luggage?
Yes, provided it meets the airline’s requirements. Most airlines allow hand luggage up to 55 x 40 x 20 cm and 7–10 kg. In addition to your cabin trolley, you are usually allowed to take a personal bag (carry-on bag, laptop bag). Check your airline’s exact dimensions and weight limits before your flight – the rules vary depending on the airline and fare.
