I purchased my first Samsonite luggage in 1993.  It has traveled across the US, Mexico, Asia and Europe. It still looks pretty good but the strap inside that holds the clothes broke.  I was told that a good luggage lasts a lifetime.  If I waited until the old one really fell apart, then I probably would have waited another 18 years or longer.  My husband is inheriting my old Samsonite so that I was able to upgrade a spinner luggage.

The bag just arrived today.  Contrary to the previous review, this one does have 4 wheels.  My daughter was pushing it around the house and asked if she can get one too because it was so easy to maneuver.  It looks more indigo blue just as it showed on this website.  (Other websites showed the same item closer to purple.)  Most US and international carriers require  46" and this one is 43" so it meets carryon requirements.  There are 2 front pockets.  The top one is about 16" long and the bottom one is about 11" long.  The main compartment has a mesh side that runs along the length of the luggage.  It is a bit larger than my old Samsonite which would hold enough for a week's worth of clothes, toiletries and a pairs of shoes.  I can now put my neck pillow, another pair of shoe and jacket in the bag instead of lugging it in my other carryon bag.

While I would have preferred something deeper purple than a bluish purple, I'm pretty happy with it.
