Appliance-Emulating Luggage

The SuitSuit Washing Machine Suitcase Seems Like It's Washing Clothes

— November 16, 2012 — World
By using the SuitSuit Washing Machine Suitcase, you can make travel even more fun by adding humor and fun into your worldly excursions.

Imagine the astounded looks you will get as you wait in line at the airport with this funky styled luggage. It looks exactly like a washing machine with all the buttons and settings printed onto a shiny white surface. There is a circular "window" that shows colorful clothing swirling around as though a load of laundry is in the middle of a spin cycle. You put all your clothes inside your suitcase anyways, wouldn't it be amazing if they could be cleaned at the same time?

While the SuitSuit Washing Machine Suitcase doesn't actually wash your clothes, it's fun to imagine that it could.
