Since the introduction of wheels onto suitcases, travelers’ lives have been made easier. But with such a wide selection to choose from, style and practicality are what we’re most interested in. Here are seven of the best available in Cyprus.
Marks and Spencer
If it’s the Marks and Spencer quality that you want even when it comes to your luggage then you’re gonna like this. Although they have an impressive range of suitcases, small and big, I had my eye on this one, not because it’s particularly pretty but because I could tell it’s practical. With a capacity of 50 litres that increases by almost 20 per cent with extra pockets, side handle and lock, it’s a bargain.
Price: £35
Louis Vuitton
Suitcases are an integral part of the LV collections and are quite popular despite their hot prices. Many seem to favour the luxurious leather travel trolley bags not only because of their excellent craftsmanship but also due to their everlasting quality. This one named P?gase suitcase in Monogram Vernis leather in Amarante just oozes style and class, although to be honest with you, I’d never check it in!
Price: not priced in Cyprus yet but range starts at £855 in the UK
Longchamp
Not for everyone, this Longchamp zebra print trolley bag requires two things: style and tons of it! After all this is one of Kate Moss’ favourite brands. Top quality but keeping in line with fashion, the Graphique Longchamp is part of their newest collection and already has women all over lining up to grab one. The perfect summer accessory, it’s practical, fabulous and a life-long friend!
Price: 1,190 euros (approximately £700)
Samsonite at Costas Theodorou
Brand new and very hot, this is the latest addition to the Samsonite family, one of the most popular suitcase names in the world. Known for long-life durability (my dad bought one before I was born and still uses it), this will have you thinking it isn’t possible to guarantee even more longevity. Made of state-of the-art polycarbonate, the Graviton suitcase is a hard back trolley/suitcase, with four wheels instead of your typical two. Available in black and three different sizes.
Price: small £124, medium £169, large £224
Lacoste at Costas Theodorou
If we’re going to talk about style, Lacoste has the smart sporty thing wrapped up but still manages to offer a little something extra. This rucksack/trolley bag is absolutely gorgeous. Although at first glance it looks like a slightly big gym bag, tucked in at either side are two wheels and a handle bar. Perfect for any occasion, also available in red and various other sizes.
Price: £136
Kipling
Among the classiest of all suitcase brands, they offer fun products for the younger generation. In a choice of bright colours, these Kipling trolley bags are perfect for the young ones because they’re small enough to drag around but big enough with quite a few pockets to fit a number of things.
Price: £49.90 to £78.90 depending on size
Samsonite at Costas Theodorou
Although the previous Samsonite bags are perfect for those who need to take their whole life with then even for a three-days trip, this smaller version is for the businessman of today. With several different pockets and one especially designed for a laptop, this will serve those who travel frequently yet light. Again four wheeled, lock and three different handles, it’s Samsonite quality!
Price: £165
