I originally gave this bag two stars and have down-graded to one star. In less than one year, the fabric has worn away at one of the edges. Granted, I'm a road warrior who flies four times a month. However, for most of those flights my bag is valet checked at the gate which means it doesn't go through the baggage claim process. I am going to try to return this disappointing TravelPro bag.

My 1st Review of this suitcase: This is NOT the same fabulous product I bought 30 years ago. I travel weekly so need a reliable, compact suitcase.

The handle spontaneously collapses and this is a HUGE problem when walking down ramps. I have to let the suitcase lead down airport ramps so the suitcase doesn't trip me AGAIN when the handle collapses.

Also, there is no strap for attaching my briefcase. I bought a strap and have to attach it to my handle.

I'm not impressed. The only reason I gave it two stars is because the fabric seems durable and I like that it expands. I would NOT buy this product again.
