I’ve long been a hard-sided luggage girly, but my colleague Saundra Latham is the exact opposite… and she may be wooing me over to the dark side. It seems like she’s always off to Europe or Dubai, or on a cruise with her two kids, husband, and in-laws, so when she told me I should reconsider my devotion to hard-sided luggage, I listened.
“I’m a chronic overpacker, and these give extra wiggle room that hardshell suitcases just can’t. Also, in my experience, they’re more durable for the money — I’ve been using the same suitcases for well over a decade and they’re really not a whole lot worse for the wear, while my husband’s hardshell luggage has definitely dented, scratched and cracked in that time.” Hmmm… consider me soft-side curious.
