FAQs
What are the dimensions of The Carry-on X - Blue?
The specific dimensions should be checked against airline regulations, but as a carry-on, it is designed to fit within standard cabin baggage allowances.
Is the aluminium lock frame TSA-approved?
Yes, the aluminium lock frame is designed to be TSA-approved, allowing security personnel to open your luggage if necessary without damage.
How do I clean the leather detailing?
Gently wipe the leather with a soft, dry cloth. For deeper cleaning or conditioning, use a product specifically designed for leather care, applying it sparingly.
Can this suitcase be expanded?
The product description does not mention an expansion feature. It is designed with fixed dimensions for carry-on compliance.
What is the warranty period for this suitcase?
Warranty information is typically provided by the manufacturer at the point of sale or on their official website. Please refer to your purchase documentation for specific details.
Can the front pocket hold a laptop?
The large front pocket is designed for easy access to essentials, which can include items like a tablet or a slim laptop, depending on its size.
Is this suitcase water-resistant?
While the polycarbonate shell offers some protection against light moisture, the suitcase is not designed to be waterproof. Avoid exposing it to heavy rain.
Troubleshooting
Lock mechanism is stiff or won't open
Ensure the correct combination is entered. Try gently wiggling the dials while attempting to open. If the issue persists, inspect for any debris and consider applying a small amount of graphite lubricant to the lock mechanism.
Exterior scratches or scuffs
Minor scratches on the polycarbonate can often be buffed out with a soft cloth and a plastic polish or a melamine sponge (magic eraser), used very gently. For deeper scratches, accept them as part of the suitcase's travel history or consider a decorative luggage cover.
Telescopic handle is difficult to extend or retract
Check the handle rails for any obstructions or debris. Try extending and retracting it fully several times. If the problem continues, the internal mechanism may need adjustment or repair.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup: The primary setup involves familiarizing yourself with the TSA-approved combination lock mechanism. Typically, these locks come with a default combination or require you to set your preferred code. Refer to the specific instructions that came with your suitcase for detailed steps on setting the combination.
Compatibility: As a carry-on suitcase, this product is designed to meet the size restrictions of most major airlines for cabin luggage. However, it is always recommended to verify the specific carry-on dimensions with your airline before flying.
Care: To maintain the appearance and functionality of your Carry-on X - Blue:
- Cleaning: Wipe the exterior with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents, which can damage the polycarbonate and leather details.
- Leather Detailing: Condition the leather accents periodically with a leather conditioner to prevent drying and cracking.
- Storage: Store the suitcase in a cool, dry place. Consider using a dust cover or storing it inside another larger piece of luggage if space allows.
- Wheels and Handles: Regularly check that wheels spin freely and handles extend and retract smoothly. Clean wheels with a damp cloth if they appear dirty.
