I've had one suitcase for the past 17 years and it finally bit the dust. I loved the dark green color and decided to find another that looked similar. I studied the endless options on Amazon and finally settled on this piece. It's roomy, well made, has lots of pockets and places for small items, shoes, hanging clothes and more. It's easy to move through the airport, holds lots of stuff and is very sturdy. I'm looking forward to another 17 years of travel with this suitcase.
