Expanding Closet-Carrying Luggage

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The Solgaard 'Lifepack' Carry-On is Organized and Compact

— February 27, 2018 — World
Carry-on luggage has become immensely popular as more airlines implement fees for baggage and passengers opt to avoid overage charges, so brands are responding with new options like the Solgaard 'Lifepack' suitcase. Compact in size yet capable of holding all of your essential clothing, the suitcase works by incorporating an expanding tower that can be filled before being compacted and slipped back into the shell. This also makes it a small wardrobe that can be opened and used more seamlessly when you've arrived at your destination to prevent you from having to dig through the case to find what you're looking for.

The Solgaard 'Lifepack' carry-on suitcase features a polycarbonate shell that will ensure it can withstand whatever you can throw at it, while the size is suitable for the majority of airlines as cabin luggage.
Trend Themes
1. Expanding Closet-carrying Luggage - The trend of carry-on luggage that can function as a small wardrobe is on the rise, presenting opportunities for more expandable and organized designs.
2. Polycarbonate Luggage - The trend of durable polycarbonate materials in luggage is growing, offering innovation opportunities for new, sturdy designs.
3. Compact Luggage - The trend of compact luggage that can still hold all essential clothing is gaining popularity, creating opportunities for even smaller designs that maximize space.
Industry Implications
1. Travel - The travel industry can stay ahead of the expanding closet-carrying luggage trend by offering products with innovative, space-saving designs.
2. Luggage Manufacturing - The luggage manufacturing industry has the opportunity to create polycarbonate luggage that stands out with additional features and customizations.
3. Retail - Retailers can capitalize on the trend of compact luggage by selling sleek, stylish designs with functional features such as expanding towers.
