What People Say
I purchased the Luminous check in 28" along with the matching 24" and 20" units. The 3-in-1 nesting feature is a total game-changer. When we aren't traveling, all three suitcases fit inside one another like Russian dolls, saving us so much closet space. If you're looking for a complete set that’s easy to store, the Classic 28" is the clear winner.
Mia Lindner
As someone who travels with specialized gear, I always struggled with standard suitcases. The 7:3 ratio of the Trunk is brilliant. The extra-deep main compartment easily swallows my drone case and hiking boots—items that would never fit in a symmetrical 5:5 split. For bulky or irregular items, the Trunk is unmatched.
Clark Vand
I chose the Check in 28" for its massive 105L capacity. Moving across the country meant packing my entire life into a few bags, and the symmetrical dividers helped me stay organized while maximizing every inch of space. Even when packed to the 30kg limit, the wheels remain incredibly smooth and silent.
Alexander Rossi
The Large Trunk in Navy is stunningly professional. While the capacity is slightly less than the Classic on paper, I find that my suits and long coats stay much crisper in the deeper compartment. It’s a sophisticated look that stands out at the airport, and the build quality is exactly what I’ve come to expect from LEVEL8.
