Eeeeek! Both my suitcases arrived today. They are FABULOUS.

I can't overstate how WONDERFUL these suitcases are. I have three of them at the moment: Co-Pilot, Magdalena, and Andy (and I want Gold Range Raven and One-Hour Max, too).

Surprisingly lightweight (because who wants to lug around a ten-ton suitcase?), they come securely packaged in the heaviest possible cardboard box, every piece of metal is covered so it doesn't get scratched, and the whole thing is in a heavyweight brown drawstring bag that can double as a laundry bag later or anything else you want.

They're roomy, with straps and dividers and pockets to keep things in place; the shell, telescoping handle, and the other two handles are very sturdy; the photograph is bright; the hardware and zippers are first-class, and the wheels are steady and noise-free. Love the solid rubber bumpers on the corners that keep nasty cracks away when other people decide they want to ram into your luggage (come on, it's not Roller Derby, folks!).

And when you're not traveling with them, these cases are works of art, worthy of being left out on display... and very handy for storage. Worth every penny, especially if you love ravens... as we all do, of course!
