Thats not to say I dont appreciate the cohesive looks and functionality of a well-matched carry-on and checked bag.

The suitcases arent designed to be attached and maneuvered together.

The polyester-lined interiors are well thought out, dividing clamshell-style into two halves.

Theres also a smaller zippered pocket perfect for jewelry or aluggage tracker.

We highly recommend this set if youre looking for something reliable.

Interior organization is limited to just one pocket in the carry-on bag and none in the checked suitcase.

Both suitcases offer double-sided packing with compression straps on one side and a zippered divider panel on the other.

The carry-on features one zippered pocket, which we found too small to hold much beyond keys or cards.

The checked bag has no pockets at all (wed recommendinvesting in packing cubesif you choose this set).

Travelers will love the variety of color options, some of which even come in a 3-piece set.

The interior lacks smaller mesh pockets, and the compression straps are a little flimsy.

The style reminded us somewhat of pricier brands like Beis and Delsey but at a fraction of the price.

The interiors lack smaller mesh pockets but do include compression straps and a zippered divider.

As for maneuverability, the suitcases multidirectional spinner wheels and sturdy telescoping handles scored top marks.

The suitcases are noticeably heavier than most of their hardside counterparts.

Organization features are sufficient although not particularly sophisticated.

They include a zippered divider panel, a small zippered accessory pocket, and compression straps.

We found the suitcases lightweight and portable, with smooth wheels and sturdy, adjustable handles.

Rolling all three suitcases together was more challenging but not impossible.

Some aspects, including the interior lining, feel a little flimsy.

When not in use, the holder folds flush against the suitcase.

One of the pockets (on each bag) is especially designed to hold a power bank.

We found the suitcases lightweight and easy to move singly or simultaneously, with smooth-rolling wheels and reliable handles.

The cosmetics case does not have wheels.

It boasts an integrated TSA-approved lock and quality YKK zippers that close with a single pull.

Colors range from nude pink to gold.

We feel the durability could be better and worry how the luggage will hold up long-term.

We were also impressed with the capacity of the two suitcases, both of which are expandable.

The toiletry bag fits into both suitcases.

The larger checked suitcase is the most lightweight out of all the checked suitcases on this list.

Colors range from black to bubblegum pink.

We repeated these movements on carpet and different types of flooring to see how smooth the wheels were.

Prioritize durability

Affordable should not be a synonym for poor quality.

For softside luggage, high-denier polyester or nylon are the best budget-friendly options.

Hardware is just as crucial: you want smooth-running zippers; wheels that dont stick (or fall off!

); and a sturdy, wobble-free handle.

Luggage with a warranty is always appreciated, although less common for budget brands than for high-end ones.
