A leather briefcase from Rimowa is a perfect accessory for business travel

Business travellers are constantly looking to present themselves in a professional way and also wanting to make their trips simpler and better organized. It pays to invest in suitable luggage and briefcases that help you out on those long and hectic business trips, since most often you have to rush straight from an airport into a business meeting, or have to travel with associates and clients. In such situations only the very best will do, and your briefcase does not escape attention when someone is forming an impression about you.

I never shopped for travel luggage, and used to carry whichever bag was handy on my business trips, but after a few times I realised that this was not a professional approach. I once travelled with my boss, and could not help but notice how better organized he was, and yet how professional he looked even while walking through the airport. I asked him to recommend a good leather bag, and he suggested the Rimowa leather briefcase. Leather bags give a sleek and classical look, that while discreet, show great quality and style.

A business bag comes in handy when you are on a short trip, with just one bag as at the carousel, and my leather briefcase has performed cabin luggage, you need not waste time waiting for other check-in bags to arrive admirably in this role many times. The Rimowa Salsa Deluxe cases has great quality leather, and it matters since it ensures a long lasting briefcase which does not start looking ugly as it gets older. It has these little compartments inside that keep everything organized and in its place, letting me pack almost automatically now. In a meeting or presentation, I find myself better organized and it’s a relief to know exactly where everything is, and not having to spend time searching for something you need. A secure zipper closure to keep things safe and intact inside, helps organize your files, folders, and important documents.

Recently I have been eyeing the Rimowa aluminium attaches, which are classic business cases with a new age design. Typical of Rimowa, it has a tough grooved aluminium exterior which protects a luxurious leather or nylon interior with pockets for organization while a combination lock console with double lock and automatic opener provides excellent security. This seems perfect for those trips where I need more protection for my electronics and when there is risk of the bag getting knocked around a bit. It will come in useful on longer trips especially when I have to visit our suppliers overseas. Stay posted for a review once I get it.

Rimowa cabin luggage is all I need on my travels

I like to travel in style, enjoy long trips and go to new places. I got myself a Rimowa classic flight cases recently since I wanted an all purpose bag that would be as ready to travel as I am. Travel for me is a passion and a way of life, an experience in itself, and I had wanted to buy myself a Rimowa for a long time. Other luggage bags and brands did not have quite that same style and substance that Rimowa cases has in offer, and for years its distinctive ribs and squarish shapes have been synonymous with stylish travel and carrying valuable items. Be it a sophisticated spy travelling around the world in a movie or a gang of criminals stashing away their loot in a tv series, you could be sure they used a Rimowa suitcase. Those battered old aluminium suitcases with scratches and labels were the best identification of a well travelled person and seasoned tourist.

Luckily now, Rimowa comes in all types of materials, colours and sizes, and I found my perfect match in the Rimowa Salsa Air Cabin trolley range. It is a carry on trolley which looks smart, sturdy, functional and very chic. Different people need different types of luggage as everyone has different needs and priorities. I wanted a bag that would be big enough to hold my stuff, but small enough to carry on. I wanted a bag with style, class and pedigree that would complement my lifestyle and make a statement that I was a regular traveller who needed professional quality luggage.

Since I actually do travel a lot and that too sometimes in hastily arranged transport, I needed a bag that would be tough as nails and protect what was put in. I also needed the bag to be light and easy to carry, since as every traveller knows, there comes a time when its just you and your bag, and a long walk or climb ahead.

A lot of research on the net, among online stores like www.globalluggage.co.uk and manufacturer websites convinced me that Rimowa had the best products for me. I know that there are premium brands with designer labels that are viewed as the ultimate travel statement, but for me Rimowa stood out, its famed innovation, technology and great manufacturing are indeed worthy.

Different people like different types of luggage. Some think it through for longer term while others have a shorter perspective, budget-minded travellers look for functionality and affordability, while business travellers look for premium looks. Most of us, though, have a little bit of all of these kinds of travellers mixed up in us, at least I have. I needed the practicality but I also needed the style. I wanted affordability but I also wanted extreme durability and above all I wanted something that would make me smile, when I saw it on the carousel.

I ended up buying a deluxe Rimowa Salsa deluxe cases carry on. The luggage has a polycarbonate body, is extremely flexible and structure is robust, the materials used in the exteriors are extremely good. Its zippers are bold and easy to zip even when stuffed full. Nylon lining is helpful in packing and organising things properly. Its extremely light, easy to carry around, and fits perfectly in overhead compartments. There are many options of holiday luggage available at www.globalluggage.co.uk. Its a user friendly online store, easy to browse, compare, research and buy online.

No Need For The Luggage Fee

Being able to find discounted flights for short breaks away has become easy to come across with airlines such EasyJet and Ryanair offering great rates. 

These rates unfortunately, can slowly increase after you have included the advised travel insurance and then the shocking ‘luggage fee’. Most low cost airlines now charge a fee for checking any luggage into the holds of their aircraft, although you’re offered a discounted fee when booking online. 

Your cheap getaway starts to become a little expensive than you originally anticipated. Travelling on a budget you would be trying to avoid the luggage fee, especially if you’re only away for a weekend break.

So we would like to provide a solution to this problem, by selecting a few ‘Cabin Friendly’ luggage pieces. These will comply with the size restriction of most low cost airlines, 56cm x 45cm x 25cm, helping you to avoid the dreaded luggage fee. It’s always still advisable to confirm the size limits with your airline or airport before travel.

Cabin friendly luggage is ideal for those short trips or weekend breaks, although it is questionable on to how much can be packed in. Depending on the purpose of your trip, there is a wide variety of cabin luggage to fit most no matter your price range.

Lets take a look at the Eminent Porta C12S (Porta Lite Cabin Case); this case is constructed from ultra light, durable ABS hard-shell. The Eminent range of luggage is backed by a 5 year guarantee and is manufactured to the highest quality standards.

This contemporary design has a fully lined internal clothes compartment, reversed zip closure with the fixed combination lock. Also a lockable multi-position trolley handle, this is an affordable, high – quality for any consumer. (Dimensions: 55 x 24 x 38cm, Price: £77.00)

Now the Ashwood Cabin Trolley with Laptop Compartment, which will definitely appeal to anyone taking business trip. Ashwood produces beautiful innovative designs combined with timeless shapes for the latest generation of gentlemen and woman.

This luxury Italian leather case has an extendible push button trolley system, smooth inliner wheels and spacious internal section with packing straps. The internal pockets on the underside of lid, helps to organize garments and accessories. Now here is the business appeal, the zippered front pocket opens to reveal organizer section to store business cars, PDA or iPhone. Finally, a secure laptop compartment to store laptops between 12 to 15 inch. (Dimensions: 52 x 39 x 35cm, Price: £176.00)

The Briggs & Riley Bassline 18” Carry -On Expandable Upright U418X is slightly smaller than the rest but packed full with features to stand bold with them. Garment securing panels keep clothes in place, minimizing wrinkles and pockets on the lid are perfect for toiletries, makeup etc. The SpeedThru pocket on the front of the case is for hassle-free airport security checks. Made from nylon outer fabric resists against wear, water, dirt and abrasions. Coming with a lifetime warranty, EVEN covers airline damage! Simple as that. (Dimensions: 45.70 x 35.60 x 20.30cm, Price: £269.00)

With these cases and more to choose from, there’s no need to change your discounted trip away into a pricey venture due to luggage fee. Take a look at other Cabin Friendly luggage pieces such as the Samsonite B Lite Spinner 55cm at very reasonable £155.00 and for the style craver why not check out the Rimowa Topas IATA Cabin Multiwheel. Made from aluminium-magnesium shells, designed with the most state of the art technology at £532.00.

Why I recommend Suitcase Samsonite

When I travel, I often get complimented on my Samsonite Cosmolite, and fellow travellers want to know how it performs and whether it is affordable. My friends and family often ask me for advice when it comes to choosing a suitcase or travel bag and sometimes ask me why I always recommend a Samsonite.

After years of using Samsonite wheel bags and suitcases, I now travel mostly with my Samsonite Cosmolite which has the best balance of latest technology, modern design and affordability for a traveller. Sometimes added features and technologies are added on just to impress the customer without adding much to the actual benefits, and Samsonite wisely has stuck to adding only those that are really needed. When I recommend the Samsonite Cosmolite to a holidaymaker or business traveller, I make sure I mention the following reasons.

Firstly, it really is a strong suitcase because of the Curv technology which is a truly innovative material, combining lightness with strength. Inspite of being strong it is the lightest amongst its contemporaries. In fact at first glance, it appears flimsy and weak but after a few bumps and thuds, you realise how incredibly strong it is.

Secondly, it is beautiful and stylish. The structural design shows its inspiration by resembling a seashell, one with a sturdy anti-scratch surface. With daring wide grooves and soft rounded shapes it looks natural and human, rather than a factory made box. With playful colour options, it expresses your style and personality.

Thirdly, it is a practical suitcase with four wheels rotating 360 degrees letting you pull and tug the bag in any direction smoothly. The materials, design and finish of small things like inside lining, zip dividers, handle which lets you hook an additional bag, locks etc scream of a product that wants to do its best for the busy traveller.

The fourth reason is the obvious one. It has the Samsonite tag, the backing of a worldwide Samsonite sales presence, competitive pricing and the famous Samsonite warranty.

To understand why Samsonite can produce luggage like Samsonite Cosmolite, one needs to look into the history of the company which has brought it to its current leadership position in the luggage business. From large suitcases to small toiletries, Samsonite has been at the forefront, identifying and satisfying the travel needs of its customers. From the first time I used one, I knew that it was designed for me. I hope my recommendation leads to someone having the same great experience that I have enjoyed over the years.

Suitcases for Your Next Holiday – Top Tips on Buying Travel Luggage !

Are you someone who likes to travel comfortably during a holiday, and not find out that you are missing your bagful of socks on a ski holiday, only because there was simply no room in your suitcase?! If the answer to your question is, “Yes!” then think about investing in a long lasting, ‘roomy’, good quality suitcase, travel bag or holdall!

  Remember to buy a suitcase or trolley suitcase that is not only large, but also has working wheels, as you don’t want to be trudging all the weight along on easily broken wheels or handles! So when you buy your next travel bag or suitcase, think about a few important things:

  First, is it large enough to fit all your stuff? Of course, you’d like it to be large enough to hold all your clothing and travel gear, but remember that it should also be small enough to be allowed into your check-in luggage ‘without’ incurring an extra charge! The typical dimensions of a suitcase which airlines permit to be checked in are a maximum of 62 linear inches, and weight of 70 pounds. Therefore, it might be a good idea to calculate the linear inches of your travel suitcase by adding its length, breadth and depth. Also, remember to weigh it, after packing.

  Second, how long is the warranty? Some suitcases, holdalls and travel bags come with a lifetime warranty, which makes life so much easier. At least on a pleasurable holiday, the last stress you would like is to have a ripped bag, broken zip or handle or loose wheels. Some suitcase brands such as Briggs and Riley offer a lifetime guarantee on all their products, which only proves the sturdiness of the product. Besides, they are great looking!!

  Third, does your precious suitcase, holdall or travel bag have a safe locking mechanism, as the last thing one needs while returning from a holiday is to have stuff stolen at the airport! This unluckily happened to a family who had their wallets among other things stolen from right inside their suitcases while flying back from Rome. So, it is always better to be super safe than sorry!

  Fourth, does your suitcase truly reflect your personality? Or is it in a boring colour that simply merges with the rest of the travel bags and suitcases on the conveyor belt at the airport? How about making a style statement in the way you travel? It doesn’t have to be at a phenomenal price, there are several options to buy fashionable and durable suitcases that do not cost a bomb! And remember, suitcases last over a much longer period than ordinary handbags, especially if you buy brands such as Briggs and Riley with lifetime warranties!

  Lastly, does your travel bag or suitcase provide good value for money? Is it a well known brand for suitcases? Luxury brands such as Rimowa, provide you with the quality and prestige value associated with the brand name, so in effect they are actually good value for money. Undoubtedly, the master of all travel bag, backpack and suitcase makers is Samsonite, worldwide. One cannot ignore the value in terms of quality, longevity and style that Samsonite suitcases, holdalls and backpacks provide. With their new ranges of Samsonite Cosmolite, the renowned manufacturer of suitcases has managed to combine durability in lightweight suitcases, along with style!!

  Simple as it seems, it is worthwhile making a wise choice while buying a travel bag, suitcase or holdall. But whether you decide to go for the practical and stylish Samsonite suitcases, or the modern Briggs and Riley with a lifetime warranty, or the ultra posh Rimowa, hope you have a swell holiday!!
