Suitcases are notorious for requiring a fair amount of space for them to be stored when not in use, so the 'LITO' foldable suitcase has been designed to help completely change this. The suitcases are capable of being collapsed down when not in use to save up to 2.5-times the amount of space without requiring travelers to compromise for a smaller luggage option. The suitcase comes in the [Carry-On and Check-In models](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/monos-carryon-pro-plus), which are outfitted with 40-liters and 70-liters of storage space, respectively.

The 'LITO' foldable suitcases are also constructed with a durable exterior that's achieved using 50 [recycled plastic water bottles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flat-water-bottles) for a touch of eco-focused design. The suitcase is designed with sustainability in mind with a construction that will prevent 5.1-pounds of PET plastic from ending up in the ocean.
