Want to wow the traveler on your list this holiday season? One of the most gorgeous sets of luggage introduced this year has to be Ricardo Beverly Hills’ Roxbury collection. Showing off a sleek silhouette in 100 percent virgin polycarbonate, the luggage is lustrous in collection colors perfectly in step with holiday gift giving – brushed silver and brushed black cherry –– that are trimmed with black corner armor for added drama, not to mention added protection.
This is luggage that makes a statement or, more aptly, a shout-out.
Good looks aside, the cases in this three-piece collection provide the level of functionality that today’s travelers need for both leisure and business travels. Each piece features a split book-style opening with two full compartments, offering a practical solution to keeping suits, dresses, dress shirts and slacks tucked neatly away in a wrinkle-resistant compartment – and one fitted with an Any-Hanger clip and padded tie-down strap – or, on the return, for separating clean clothing from soiled items. The interior is also fitted with several organizing mesh pockets as well as elasticized shoe pockets.
The cases are expandable, giving you additional packing capacity at the pull of a zipper – meaning you can enjoy shopping on your next trip without worrying about how you’ll get your souvenirs home. In the case of the carry-on, you get an extra 1.3 inches – room enough for a new outfit; with the 29” case, you get 1.8 inches. Time to hit the mall.
The durable polycarbonate construction means the cases are super lightweight. The carry-on weighs under eight pounds so you can pack more while avoiding airline overweight baggage fees. In industry jargon, the case’s two-layer polycarbonate shell won’t tear or abrade over time. The lay traveler is more inclined to note simply that the exterior feels satiny smooth.
Because each case sits atop a dual spinner wheel system, zigzagging it through crowded terminals is a breeze. Also, no more getting ensnared or bumping each seat on the way to yours as you make your way down those skinny airplane aisles. Cases have an ergonomic pull handle system and a very heft-friendly molded bottom carry handle that makes lifting the carry-on into an airline’s overhead bin much easier. The built-in TSA combination lock and the removable water resistant pouch or 3-1-1 bag are nice touches – as is the limited lifetime warranty.
Collection pieces include a 21” Expandable Freewheel Carry-on ($300), 25” Expandable Freewheel Upright ($360) and 29” Expandable Freewheel Upright ($400) and are available at Macy’s, Belk, Bon-Ton, Boscov’s, luggage specialty stores and through many online retailers. The cases weigh 7.9, 9.6 and just over 10 pounds respectively. The sturdy but superlight construction paired with sophisticated styling makes the Roxbury a very under-the-tree-worthy gift.
