Nova

Don’t hesitate

This is an amazing piece of luggage. It very attractive, the leather is lovely and is larger and surprisingly lighter than my previous carryon which was a touch oversized. Packed for a wedding and everything came out in good condition—including a suit and dress. The biggest problem I can foresee with this duffle is you can almost fit more than you’d want or need.

Wheeled carry on

Luxurious look and feel. I received many compliments at the airport on this piece. The drawback is that it does not fit nearly as much as is shown in the videos and it is also quite heavy. I ordered the leather model and it is difficult for me, as a senior, to lift into the overhead compartment. However, the wheels make it all worthwhile.

My new Nova

The bag itself is very well made. I took a flight on a regional jet on Thursday am for a 4 day trip to California. It fit in the overhead. I was able to pack three dresses, a long skirt, 3 pairs of sandals, three t-shirts, belt, work out gear, jewelry, tech chords , cosmetics. I wore my trainers. I did not take a hair dryer. My 16" mac fit in the outside pocket. The bag forced me to curate what was packed. Packing cubes are a must, since when unzipped ,the bag completely collapses. If you are used to "living out of a bag" that will not happen ! The biggest downside, is that there are only 2 wheels, not 4. (I realize that having four wheels would be a structural impossibility!). With that said, the bag must be pulled, never pushed. The two wheels do make it more unstable on bumpy surfaces. If you have packed the bag to the "brim" the top zipper will close, but it was a little challenging, since it operates like the bottom of a jacket zipper. Again, given the fact that the bag has to completely lie flat for the garments, this type of closure cannot be avoided. But leave some time!The bag performs as published in the videos.
