It Luggage Review

It Luggage is an affordable luggage brand that has gained a loyal customer base worldwide. This isn’t surprising since they produce creative luggage designs catered towards travelers. From hardshell or softshell to lightweight and expandable, this brand has a wide variety of suitcases you’ll want to check out. This review will provide all the information you need to know before you make your next suitcase purchase. It covers It Luggage brand information, notable features of their suitcases, customer feedback, product specifications, and individual product reviews.

It Luggage Overview

Before jumping into the full review, here is an overview of what you can expect from It Luggage suitcases.

The Good

• Affordable: If you want a fabric carry-on that’s lightweight and under $100, It luggage has multiple options. Their Quaint collection also has a hardshell carry-on with 8 spinner wheels that’s under $100. It’s hard to beat prices like this with these features.
• TSA-Approved Locks: Most affordable brands won’t include TSA-approved locks with their suitcases, but you can find these on various It Luggage models. For example, their Divinity collection of fabric suitcases.
• Lightweight: Most carry-ons weigh at least 5 pounds. However, the World’s Lightest Los Angeles collection has a model weighing only 3.8 pounds! Most of their other suitcases are also lighter than other brands with comparable sizes.
• Loyal Customers: A majority of customers purchasing It Luggage suitcases are repeat buyers. While there are negatives to the brand, the price, lightweight, and other features outweigh these for them. Some customers have even been loyal for over a decade!

The Not-So-Good

• Not Very Durable: Due to their affordability and commitment to lightweight materials, the result does mean most of their suitcases aren’t that durable. They may not be suitable if you travel frequently. However, if you take only 3 trips a year, you can expect them to last between 5 and 8 years. Basic Warranty: Although their warranty is 10 years long, the terms are quite basic. It only covers material defects and manufacturing faults. Wear and tear or other travel accidents are not included.

Overall Verdict

It Luggage is a great affordable brand for infrequent travelers. Their lightweight feature also makes it easy to travel with since most airlines have weight limits for carry-on and checked bags. Most customers do recommend their carry-on sizes over their checked suitcases. Since they aren’t the most durable and the warranty doesn’t cover travel incidents, checked bags can easily be damaged when thrown in with other bags during transit.

About The It Luggage Brand

International Traveler (It) Luggage Ltd started in London in 1985. However, they were initially registered under the name Landor Ltd. They are well known for being an affordable brand that also focuses on innovative designs. Their website indicates their in-house design team generates over 100 new styles every year. Today, It Luggage has retail stores around the world, with plenty in Europe. Although online stores and Amazon sells their suitcases, It Luggage focuses more on availability in retail locations. For example, their website is more of a catalog for global customers and only offers online purchasing in the UK. The company manufactures its suitcases in China and Vietnam and is transparent about this.

Dedicated offices oversee the manufacturing process for proper standards and quality assurance. Additionally, they are compliant with the “Modern Slavery Act” that ensures suppliers carry out proper working conditions.

Customer Feedback

Customer feedback from reviews on sites such as Amazon provides great insight into luggage quality after purchase. Looking at 35 products on Amazon for a total of 4,775 ratings and 2861 reviews, It Luggage has an average rating of 4.2 out of 5. However, most products can be up to 4.4 stars, which is a good rating for an affordable brand. Most of the reviews on Amazon report satisfaction with their It Luggage purchase, including indicating they’ve had their suitcase for five years without issues. Most customers are also repeat buyers, purchasing a new suitcase every 3 to 8 years. The most common review complaints include:

• Carry-ons were better than checked-bag sizes
• The lightweight designs have some people concerned about the quality
• Some 22-inch models are actually 23 inches in length
• Some softside suitcases are made with a thin fabric that gets dirty quickly
• Zippers feel cheap or get stuck

Design

Unlike most affordable brands, It Luggage focuses on innovation and manufacturing various designs fitting different preferences. Although basic in aesthetics, the World’s Lightest collection has a practical element instead. It Luggage uses light materials and a frameless design to keep these suitcases lightweight by reinforcing them with fiberglass instead of an aluminum frame or strong wire. If you want a suitcase design that turns head, some of their other collections can do the trick. For example, their Divinity Softside suitcase comes in a Raspberry Radiance color and features quilted panel fabric detailing. They even have a Kids’ World’s Lightest suitcase with unicorn patterns.

Quality

As an affordable luggage brand, It Luggage quality may not stand up against more expensive brands. They generally use polyester for their fabric suitcases and polypropylene or ABS for their hardshell suitcases. These are cheaper materials that are less durable than other options. However, their Signature collection does use very durable polycarbonate. Focusing on lightweight designs, the material used is also thinner than other brands, including wheels, zippers, and handles feeling cheap. However, most customer reviews don’t report having issues with broken wheels or handles. Reviews do indicate that they offer better carry-on solutions than checked-in bags. Due to the lightweight design, It Luggage suitcases are more fragile when handled after check-in. You should also make sure you pack your hardshell bags full if you are checking in your bag. Half-packed suitcases can break from the weight of other suitcases piled on top of them.

Warranty

It Luggage offers a 10-year warranty on all of their suitcases, representing the confidence of their product quality. You don’t need to register your luggage to access this warranty against material defects or manufacturing faults. To make a claim, simply have your guarantee certificate or hangtag and one of the following original documents:

• Receipt of purchase
• Invoice
• Online order confirmation

You can find details on warranty claim contact information based on your country on their website here. Do note that they don’t cover damage caused by the airlines, and recommend you contact the airline to compensate for damaged luggage. The warranty also excludes damage from misuse, accidents, or normal wear and tear.

Notable Features

Although each specific luggage differs, here are some of the features you can expect to find with It Luggage suitcases.

Very Lightweight

It Luggage is known for its World’s Lightest collection, which provides some of the most lightweight suitcase options. Some of these carry-ons weigh under 4 pounds. Their claim to have the world’s lightest suitcase currently holds true when comparing to other brands.

TSA-Approved Locks

A convenient feature of their suitcases is the TSA-approved combination locks included. This means you don’t have to purchase a separate lock to secure your bag’s contents.

Double Spinner Wheels

Spinner wheels allow you to roll your suitcase in any direction you choose and turn them easier. On most of the It Luggage suitcases, you will find double spinner wheels instead of regular spinners. Meaning there are eight wheels on their suitcases instead of four. Double spinner wheels roll smoother and are more durable than standard four-wheel designs.

Wide Retractable Handles

Most of their suitcases have wide retractable handles that provide more space in the main compartment. It Luggage hides the inner part of the handle in the corners instead of the typical rails inside your suitcase that prevent maximized packing space. While you can pack more, this feature isn’t optimal for hanging your backpack straps around your carry-on handle, since most backpack handles won’t fit this length.

Standard Packing Features

Some It Luggage collections come with most of the standard packing features, such as inner or exterior pockets and compression straps. Some hardshell models also have expandable zippers for up to 25% more volume. Don’t expect to find packing features, such as toiletry pouches, suiter compartments, or shoe pockets. However, many customers have happily purchased packing add-ons to complement their It Luggage, such as the eBags packing cubes.

Price

Averages prices for It Luggage’s different types of suitcases include:

• Softshell carry on: $50 to $80
• Hardshell carry-on: $70 to $150
• 3-piece softshell set: $150 to $200
• 3-piece hardshell set: $150 to $300

It Luggage Individual Suitcase Reviews

You can also expect good value for the quality and features you get for the price. For instance, it’s impressive you can get the world’s lightest carry-ons for under $100. Compared to other brands, these prices are similar to SwissGear and American Tourister, but a little higher than Rockland.
