26 Inch Large Luggage Suitcase Top Opening Aluminum Frame Travel Luggage Hard Shell Suitcases with Wheels for Woman Men.(Ivory white)

I really love this elegant carry on. It's a good size and is light weight, but sturdy. The color is a nice creamy beige which will stand out from all the dark suitcases in a classy way. I love the look of a cream colored suitcase but was hesitant because everyone knows a light color would show scuffs. But... the texture will help hide minor scuffs that may happen over time and if it does get permanent marks, I can replace it without feeling too guilty considering the reasonable price. The handle extends easily and the wheels turn smoothly. I love that it is NOT the "clam shell" design that takes up so much room when you open it. If you use a couple of packing cubes, I bet you could easily fit a week's worth of smartly chosen outfits. I thought it had a "wet pocket" inside, but it doesn't. Just two mesh pockets. This isn't a big deal to me considering TSA limits wet items you can bring anyway and I will pack those in a separate bag. It has little feet on one long side so it doesn't have to rest on the wheels if you need it to orient another way. Overall, I am very pleased and can't wait to go on my next trip!

Love, love, love this luggage! I looked at a TON of bags before my recent trip to Rome because I wanted something stylish that also wouldn’t take up too much space. European hotel rooms are usually a bit smaller, and the one we stayed in only had a tiny corner closet—no dressers at all. Having a top-opening suitcase made such a huge difference. I could keep it on the luggage stand, open it from the top, and easily access all my things without the suitcase taking over the entire room. My husband brought a typical clamshell suitcase, and his took up so much room. It was constantly in the way, which made me even more grateful that I chose this top-opening style. The wheels roll smoothly and softly, the color is beautiful, and the overall design is just perfect for travel. It handled the trip to Italy really well with only minor scuffing. On the way back it picked up a few more marks, but that’s totally normal for any luggage, and if you want to keep it pristine, you can always buy a luggage wrap. This bag was exactly what I needed, and I truly love it. I’m already excited to take it back to Italy next year!

I got three of these for my elementary school boys. They were rough on them: crashing, riding, racing, and one thrown when my youngest son got frustrated. Not a dent and still smooth rolling. They fit perfectly as a carryon item, with plenty of room for a weeks worth of clothes, toiletries, extra shoes, jacket, and swim gear with extra room for a couple of toys. I also really liked the trunk style opening. It made it easy for them to pack and organize without causing a mess if they opened it up while traveling. So, if you’re looking for a durable, sturdy, and secure suitcase that still looks nice and clean, then I highly suggest you give these a try! Definitely worth the price as we will be using them often. PS- no other travelers were harmed during the course of this review. Though a few were startled 😅

I bought 2 of the Hanke 20" Carry On (top opening) for myself and my bf. We took it on a 10 day trip to Italy (Venice, Florence, Rome). Here are some quick points with my experience with the bag: - Smooth rolling wheels and sturdy design. I am more careful and lift my bag, but my bf is rougher and drags his bag over stairs/curbs and it held up quite well, even over cobblestones. - Telescoping handle has 3 levels and was able to easily accomodate myself 5'6" and bf 5"10 comfortably. It was smooth to pull up/down. It felt solid even when we rolled it over uneven surfaces and lifting it by the handle in spur of the moment situations. Note: If it's overfilled it does affect the rails and gets "sticky" making it harder to pull the handle in/out. - Although it is 20" I still had a little trouble fitting it in the overhead of the AA widebody plane (older model, I dont remember). It didnt fit in the first bin, right above our bulk head seats, but it fit horizontally in the next bin. - Capacity isn't as big as pictured. I had to compress my clothes and I'm a fairly light packer. I also had a carry on duffel which held my toiletries and misc items because it didn't fit. - Top opening + hard case was the main reason why I bought this because it was raining during our trip and I hate the space clamshell luggage takes up when open (rooms in europe are smaller than USA). The bag worked as described and all my items stayed dry and secure. - Weight is listed as 7.9lbs and when filled it was kind of heavy, but not uncomfortably where I couldn't lift it over my head to load into the bin. My biggest pet peeve was the handle design - it isn't a smooth transition from handle to pole. There were cases I had to quickly take my duffel on/off multiple times in a short span and found myself frustrated because it kept catching on the trolley sleeve every time. Although not a dealbreaker, it is inconvenient enough. I also wish it had some of the other neat features like the Mixi (cup holder and hooks for coats or phone), Lojel (expandable), or the Biaggi (hybrid fabric/polycarbonate for a lighter weight) but those are personal preferences. TLDR Pros - Smooth, compact, sturdy Cons - Handle design, weight, lack of userful features Overall I'd give this bag about an 8/10.

I wanted to wait until we had a major trip before writing a review. We completed a 22-day trip overseas and this luggage handled spectacularly. Here is a breakdown of what we wanted, and how it performed: Hard shell that won't crack or dent- I literally tripped trying to get both mine and my wife's suitcases onto a shinkansen (bullet train) and drove my knee with 190 pounds behind it right into the the center of one suitcase. Nothing. No damage at all. Wheels that move and don't break- Japan has yellow raised textures on the sidewalks for the visually impaired throughout the cities, it can can play merry havoc with suitcase wheels. These wheels danced right over them and always stayed on track. On smooth surfaces the suitcases felt like they were floating. Side note: Put the suitcase on its side when on a train or hill, if you cannot hold on to it, the suitcase will take off on you! Zipper: So far, so good. Easy to use, didn't get stuck, and didn't come open. Lock and zipper pull-tabs: the built in lock is nice, but I know just how rough airlines are, almost all of my past suitcases have had zipper tabs ripped off. I used a suitcase cover to ensure these were protected. I wish the company had a little bump-out on either side of the zipper lock so that the zipper pulls would be better protected, but we had no issues. FRONT OPENING!!: This was a really big deal for us. We wanted hard shell, but I hate the clam-shell designs that are everywhere. Hanke got it! It worked perfectly. So happy with how this functioned. We had a Delsey, front opening suitcase, and the zipper really could not handle the corners, just not a good design. The zippers failed too quickly, which was a shame, because otherwise Delsey makes a good bag. Handle: So comfortable and easy to adjust. I like a recessed button so that I am not constantly changing the handle height accidentally (looking at you Samsonite). Size: We got the 26-inch and thought it was overkill, but we wanted a slightly larger checked bag because there is no option to expand this suitcase. We left for Japan with half-empty bags, and they were packed when we came home. It was relaxing not worrying about organizing and space for the return, we just shoved everything in, and still came in under weight. Again, it was a longer trip, and we picked up some nice ceramics on our travels (nothing broke on the way home, the hard-shell did its job!) but maybe a smaller one for week-long trips. Hard-shell and color: Let's face it, white is going to show everything, but I'd rather be able to pick my suitcase out at luggage return and the suitcase covers not only protected the zipper pulls, but kept the scuff marks off the luggage. The luggage was strong! Very strong. Overall: I have to say, with a few domestic trips, and its first international under its belt, these suitcases have proven to be the best we have had in ages. At this price-point, I have not had anything perform as well- and I have gone through a few! I have been so frustrated with wheels that don't track, handles that break, zippers that fail, or soft-shells that look like box cutters were taken to them during loading. Let's put it this way, even if the wheels had broken off, I would buy this suitcase again. We brutalized the luggage this trip, and it took it all. I fully expected something to break at some point, just the fact that it didn't has made me a fan.

This is my favorite suitcase ever. I bought it in three colors: black for my husband, cream for me, and green for my son. It is just the right size for a perfect carry on that works for short and long trips. Just toss in packing cubes. I LOVE that it is not a clamshell! I can leave everything in it and use it without opening the whole thing. This suitcase is also super strurdy!! My only wish is for there to be more color options in this model.

If you were attracted to this suitcase because of its chic look and claims of durability, I urge you to save your money and look elsewhere. I unfortunately took the chance and spent good money on this bag only to have it look like someone used it to skateboard down the street after just one flight (didn’t even make it through an entire trip). The “scratch-resistant” claims, are completely false. Upon retrieving my bag after the flight, one of my zippers was completely gone (both pieces of the zipper, like it was never even there), the edges were frayed, and it was all scratched and banged up, where in many areas, the silver base material was showing through. Again, this was after ONE flight. But I think the most disappointing part about my experience was that when I reached out to the seller about my issues and request a replacement, he told me to try wiping the luggage with a cloth (as if I hadn’t tried that already) and the scratches would go away. Clearly, that didn’t work. Then the most he offered me was a discount on another purchase or to send me a replacement zipper. A ZIPPER?!? Oh, and I would have to be responsible for finding (and paying) the repair shop to put the zipper back on the bag. Wow. Who wants a replacement zipper anyway, if the rest of my brand new suitcase still looks like trash? After much time spent going back and forth, the seller refused to send me a replacement bag and literally just stopped replying to my messages. How’s that for customer service? Needless to say, I will NEVER waste my money on these company’s faulty products again and unless you’re looking for a one-time use only suitcase, I encourage you to do the same and avoid the headache.

This is such a great piece of luggage! It’s very sturdy, the zipper is nice and smooth. I love the way it opens, you have so much more room to pack things and it fits more than a typical carry on. It’s very lightweight and easy to move, the wheels are nice and smooth and then all the way around so you can move it any which way. It’s great! Would buy more!
