Luggage Sets: a Major Do

Wenger SwissGear luggage set

Luggage sets. We’ve all seen them and heard about them. What’s the big deal? Is it really worth it? Do I need it all? Yes, yes and yes. We’re taking a minute to highlight the importance and great value of luggage sets, and why you need to put it on your list.

I recently came back from an overseas trip, and packing beforehand was a nightmare. I embarked on an organized group trip that required us to move around. A lot. I knew I wanted to pack lightly, but couldn’t quite fit 12 days into a carry on. I remember wishing I had a good in between sized piece of luggage, but all I had was my trusty carry on roller board and my gone-for-three-months-size ship through. Despite my best efforts, I ended up with the much too large bag which was less than fun to lug through the soft sands of the Israeli desert. If only someone had taught me the importance of owning variously sized luggage. To ensure no one else falls into that trap, I’m making the case for the luggage set. Yes, you need it.

It doesn’t matter if you are 26 or 62, with or without kids or even have a trip planned or not. At some point, you will need the options. The luggage set is ideal because it’s more cost and time effective than buying separate pieces. No need to remember what you have or what you need- you’ll have it all in one well-coordinated place.

Now the question becomes, what brand do I buy? There’s no wrong answer here, and it heavily depends on your current stock and luggage personality. I tend to lean towards classic and timeless, but there are great options for that side and something more fun and creative.

If you’re like me, Wenger SwissGear is your go-to. The traditional designs and colors of the pieces make a statement without being overwhelming. The iconic SwissGear logo instantly exudes the dependability and durability equated with Swiss made products. Each case is equipped with padded laptop compartments and thoughtful organization pockets and straps to ensure hassle free packing and unpacking.

IT Skulls & Roses luggage set

If you’re looking for something with a little more personality, the new Skulls & Roses line from IT Luggage is where you should start. IT luggage is known for its trademark patented lightweight luggage pieces that allow for easy maneuvering through busy airports or city streets. Don’t let the lightweight technology fool you; these cases are put through extreme quality control tests and come out on top.

Be prepared, and plan for the future now. Don’t be that girl dragging a massive suitcase through the desert. I for sure won’t make that mistake…again.

One of our most popular lines is the Heys USA Novus Art series. The luggage bags come in three different patterns – Hearts Rainbow, Floral Burst, and Pop Collage.

Luggage: Your Constant Companion

“The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step,” as the saying goes.  To me, it begins not just with a single physical step, but when you make the choice to go, and what goes with you.  Upright luggage, carry on luggage, ultimately it’s your best friend or your worst enemy if you choose poorly.  Your suitcase is your first traveling companion, before you’ve even decided on any people you’re going on your trip with.  It’s your most consistent and reliable companion at that.  Plans change, availabilities come and go, flights get delayed, but your luggage stays with you, except in the most extreme of circumstances.  It’ll hold your gear and keep it safe, might even be a chair in a pinch.  Choose wisely, and I suggest starting with Heys USA Luggage.  With their designs and reputation, you don’t have to look through too many luggage reviews to find one that suits you.

If you’re a traveler from outer space or someone looking for a weekend getaway, you might need expandable luggage or a leather duffel bag, and you want to be ready.  It’s a tenuous balance!  Too much, and it’s cumbersome.  Too little, and you’re turning your underwear inside out with another week to go.  Your luggage will be there for you to provide fresh clothes and the amenities necessary to make you feel human again where ever you go.  The expression to live out one’s suitcase isn’t just an offhanded statement, travel luggage is your home away from home, why not make the best of it?

Heys USA Luggage offers spinners, hardside cases, fun designs, even computer cases.  You can peruse our abundant selection on IrvsLuggage.com or visit us directly at our Northbrook or Mount Prospect locations.  That way, you get a personal touch from our knowledgeable employees that will help you find what you want, get what you need, and send you off where you’re going to go.  If your luggage has been through some tough times, we’ll take care of it with one of the largest luggage repair centers in the Midwest and it will look good as new.  You take care of your luggage and it will take care of you.

Bombproof Luggage Set Goes on Sale!

Official Announcement:

Ladies and gentlemen, it is time. The day you have been waiting for is finally here. Drum roll, please…. Irv’s Luggage is happy to announce our Most Popular set of Bombproof Luggage is going on SALE! (Woohoo!)

Luggage fanatics of the world, this luggage set is one of a kind!! Coated in a special material to deter bombs from eroding the material, each piece of this set is equipped with a suiter and a 4-wheel spinner system for easy maneuverability even in the smallest of spaces. Plus, it boasts a soundproof shell encouraging you to keep all sorts of critters inside without hearing their constant scratching. (Would you really want to be bothered by scratching all day long? I know I wouldn’t!) Available in four different colors (Blue, Silver, Black and Neon Green) this 4-piece luggage set is sure to sell out!

Are you ready for the newest wave of airline luggage? I know I am!!

Alright, ok, I confess. We really aren’t selling bombproof luggage. I’m not even sure if there is such a thing. But we do have other really great products (luggage sets, carry on luggage, travel accessories, handbags and more) that you will want to check out in your search for new luggage this travel season.

If you are truly looking for a great luggage set, look no further than the Heys USA Hummer 3 Piece Spinner Luggage Set. Great for a man, woman or family of monkeys, this hardside set is lightweight, durable and easy to use, and will make traveling so much easier. Available in Black, Blue or Navy Blue, the Heys Hummer set shines with a gloss finish guaranteed to show off your sense of style. While this set isn’t bombproof or dent proof, it is specially priced for a limited time only. This is one set you will not want to pass by!

Now, what if you like to travel “light” and don’t need a full set of luggage? (No, stuffing your two TSA required carry ons full of crap you picked up along your travels is NOT considered traveling light!)If you have to travel using only two carry on bags, you should look at the Kathy Van Zeeland Expandable Carry Ons. Designed in nine different patterns, this carry on luggage will stand out in a crowd and make everyone wonder just where you got that luggage! Plus it comes with a spacious interior and is expandable securing extra space not only for your clothes but for goodies you buy along the way.

Finally, one of the most important things to remember when traveling is travel accessories. You’ll need a distinctive luggage tag just in case you have the exact same luggage as someone else (I can guarantee you will!) Packing accessories and Dopp kits are also great space savers that help give even the most disorganized person some sort of order when packing. And don’t forget your travel wallets. You never know what or who you might encounter on your travels (Lions and tigers and bears, Oh My!) Having a security or RFID wallet will keep your mind at ease, even when you’re busy exploring.

Use these tips as you will, but let us know how they work out for you! And if bombproof luggage ever becomes available, I promise Irv’s Luggage will be the first to let you know!

What makes a piece of luggage luxurious? Well just like anything in life, it depends on the person’s perspective that is making the decision.

Britto Luggage by Heys USA is also made from a strong polycarbonate composite that is protected  by a clear coated paint that gives the bags a sharp glossy appearance. However, what makes the Britto luggage lines so luxurious is the collaboration behind it; “the world’s foremost hardside luggage brand Heys USA” and the incredible artwork of famous pop artist Romero Britto.  Bright intricate color patterns and shapes that really standout and make a statement about the individuals who are carrying these incredibly unique and beautifully luxurious carry on luggage pieces without sacrificing the quality of a well-made bag.  Britto Luggage by Heys USA is the perfect luxury luggage for creative individuals who have a constant need to express themselves at any cost!
