This is the best suitcase I have ever had. The pic made me think it was dark blue, but no, it is PURPLE. lol that's OK.  The inside liner is also PURPLE with little stars. That too is OK. The organization and storage inside makes it all worth it. I was also able to put my heavy backpack on the handle and it balanced. That made the countless airport marches so much better. It is also very light. I loaded all kinds of souvenirs for the homeward trip and did not even need to unzip the expansion for space. I will only buy Ricardo from now on!  (although maybe not PURPLE)
