Wow, Sharily, terrific review. Will help other would-be Lipault purchasers! I took mine to India and it was fantastic, no issues with domestic flights (that is until we went crazy shopping and had to check an extra bag). I am now considering getting the weekender to use instead of a backpack.

I purchased the "reporter" bag in black at Tuesday Morning online. It was only 40 dollars. I am using it as my smaller carryon for this trip. Smaller than the Weekend bag. I like the sheen of the fabric. Will probably get a larger Lipault for future trips.

Just checked - they still have the small reporter - plus a small 20" roll bag for $109...hmmm might have to get that too!

Weekender

I just bought the 22" 2 wheel bag. Found it on sale for only $90 at a local luggage store. Used the bag over the weekend and it is really terrific! Very light and holds far more than I ever imagined.

I am amazed you can fit that much into a 22 inch bag!

Back with another report: The Lipault not only works for summer, it's a miracle for chilly weather. I took it on a 4-day work event and packed the following: 2 pairs short boots, 1 pair trailrunners, 1 pair pumps, cocktail dress, slacks, blazer, 2 pair jeans, bathing suit, work out outfit, cashmere shawl, long sweater, hoodie, 3 silk tees, 3 scarves, umbrella. A fellow traveler stopped me in the airport to say she has the whole set in every size. Truly an amazing piece of luggage.

Does anyone have any experience with the Lipault hardshell? I bought the larger one after studying many women in the airport rolling 4 wheeled suitcases. They seem to move easier with less tension on the wrists. I have the 22" Lipault 2 wheeled carry on which I used for a trip to France last year and could not believe how many items could be stowed in that small space. I also have the weekend bag which I love for the ease on loading it onto a rolling bag. I am somewhat apprehensive about this hardshell for airline travel. Any replies would be appreciated.

I purchased 2 sets of Lipault 22 in luggage and the matching 19 in weekender and I absolutely love this luggage. I have used it the US for trips and will be using it this week for 10 days in Italy. I keep seeing that the cons of this luggage is that it doesn't expand BUT you should see all I can get in this amazing luggage. I will take 5 pair of pants, 7 shirts, 5 pair of underwear, 5 pair of socks, a pair of boots, a curling iron, and makeup in 22 inches using the bundling technique then taking the bundle out and putting in a compression bag. I use the weekender for my purse, Ipad, small blanket, snacks, and odds and ends for on the plane. I can roll the bag right down the center of the isle and have no problems picking it up to put in the overhead. This luggage is worth every penny that I paid for it and I can honestly say that I will never check baggage again!
When I first got the luggage, my husband laughed at me and said I'd never be able to get all my clothes into it...he tried it on one week business trip to Houston and got 5 pair of pants, 5 shirts, underwear, socks, a pair of shoes, and a sports coat into it and mow he uses it every time he travels!

Can you attach another bag to the 4 wheel spinner or does an extra bag have to sit on top of the suitcase (often my 2nd bag is too heavy for that due to some required items I need to have as a flight attendant)? Some spinners can be pulled like a 2 wheel roll-aboard when there is a 2nd bag.

Another question. Where can I find lipault luggage at a discounted price. The so-called discounts I found on the internet were not really discounted.

Just returned from another successful carry on trip and ran into a friend at the airport who also was traveling with Lipault (in orange!) She said she had bought a complete set on www.onekingslane.com and the 22" was $79. I did not notice whether it was the four-wheel though, which I believe is crucial.

She said they periodically offer deals on all Lipault luggage, so keep checking.

I too was very attracted to lipault luggages, nice colors, cool design, space, BUT i had a terrible experience with a 22' trolley blue. After one, ONE, flight, the fabric came back with a hole. I contacted the customer service in France, never answered me, send them a second answer after 10 days, no answer to that one either. When i finally called, they were very brisk to let me know it was not their problem, that i should just go back to the airline. And oh, the reason they never answered my emails???? they went to the spam folders??? for a customer service??? of course, by then i had passed the delay to report damage to the airline.
so you can go with Lipault, but beware that once they sell they don't care about you whatsoever.

Hi, I started this post 3 years ago and agree with all the fans of the luggage. it's worked great for me, and I am about to buy another set for my husband.

lyn_dahm

I currently have 3 sets...absolutely the best luggage that I have ever owned! Has taught me it is possible to pack for my trips to Europe in my 22 in and to use the 19 also for my in flight needs! I have it in purple, chocolate, and black!

I have a 22 inch roller tgatcI have had over a year. I love mine and travel with it virtually every week. Well spent money.

I like this tote. I was going to go next size to the Longchamp bag but this is perfect. We are looking at going smaller than the 22 inch, maybe 19 but love the spinner bags. I notice now how many people trip others with the two wheelers. They seem to forget they are dragging something behind them. I think my favorite thing is ease of pushing it down the aisle.

Hi all, after buying cheap luggage that admittedly did quite a good job for the most part, I'm now looking for something that has a decent set of wheels (4). The problem I had with my cheapie was that it was pretty hard to steer even on good surfaces and if I ever had to trolley it along, the wheels dragged and wore really quickly. This was a medium sized, soft suitcase fully laden (is there any other way in Europe?).
Has anyone had these kind of issues with your Lipaults?
Thanks.

These cases are too big for some of the European budget carriers - yes - even the cabin bag. If all you intend doing is using them long haul - absolutely no problem. But if you have any flights within Europe you need to check up front whether they meet your carriers limits or not because they may well not.

The Lipault wheels are fine on cobblestones - didn't walk for blocks and blocks, but no problem for short distances. The spinner makes it easy to navigate. I have taken it on smaller inter-European and inter-Asian airlines with no problem.

Sorry these luggage suck and are only valid for fat people.
