FAQs
Is this suitcase suitable for international carry-on?
At 55cm, it generally fits the standard carry-on requirements for most international and domestic airlines, but always verify with your specific airline before flying.
Does the bag have a built-in lock?
Please check your specific model's internal compartments, though generally, it is recommended to use an external TSA-approved lock for security.
Can I wash the interior lining?
The interior lining is designed for durability but should be spot-cleaned. It is not intended to be removed for machine washing.
What is the primary material?
The exterior and interior are crafted from recycled PET plastic, providing a sustainable and durable polyester construction.
How much can the suitcase expand?
The expansion feature allows for additional depth to accommodate extra items; the specific expansion measurement provides enough space for most quick-trip essentials.
Troubleshooting
The suitcase feels heavy or difficult to maneuver
Ensure items are packed with heavier items toward the wheels to keep the center of gravity low, and check that no debris is caught in the wheel axles.
The zipper is difficult to operate
Check for fabric caught in the zipper teeth and gently pull back the lining. If the zipper remains stuck, apply a tiny amount of candle wax or a graphite pencil to the teeth.
Surface stains on the recycled fabric
Use a soft-bristled brush with a mixture of water and mild detergent to gently lift the stain, then blot dry with a clean microfiber cloth.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before your first trip, check your airline's specific dimensions to ensure the 55cm height meets their carry-on requirements, as these vary by carrier. To maintain the recycled polyester material, spot-clean the exterior with a mild soap and a damp cloth; avoid using harsh chemical cleaners. To keep the wheels performing optimally, clear any debris or hair from the wheel housing after trips. Store the suitcase in a cool, dry place and keep it upright to prevent unnecessary pressure on the wheels or handle mechanism over long periods of inactivity.
