21 Luggage Ideas That Aren’t Hideous Dump Trucks
by The Candidly Team
Maybe that title is a little bit harsh.
But we just got so tired of seeing these enormous, beastly, dark behemoths floating towards us on luggage carousels, nestled in a sea of OTHER enormous, beastly, dark behemoths.
And maybe you don’t care about such things because there are bigger fish to fry in the world. But then, why did you click into this list? We ALSO feel there are bigger fish to fry, but we’re going to fry those fish with cute, pastel-hued luggage.
Here are our favorites:
