Originally titled: Style/Chrome Overload Alert!!
The promotional statement for Travelpro's Platinum 6 line: "Good luggage holds your wardrobe, great luggage is part of it".
I am blown away by the unique/different/odd/striking/pretentious appearance of this bag. The photos do not come close to giving a sense of how different this bag looks. The many chrome handle pieces, lower accents and zipper pulls really pop and give the bag a look that I can only describe as "bling" or "glitter". I would have ordered a less pretentious looking bag had I known.
If it grows on me eventually, I'll update my review.
Quality of the bag looks outstanding. It's so light I had to do a double take thinking it might be a cheap knockoff. Based on reviews construction and quality are completely consistent with Travelpro's reputation.
Style - * (one star)
Construction - *****
Durability - (I'll be back after a few trips to complete)
________________________________________________
After my first trip: Changed from three to five stars. Styling grew on me as I used the bag. Solid construction. Balance is perfect - it stands upright with my laptop bag on top. Fit perfectly in the overhead bin on Southwest's 737.
Another thought on the bag's unique style... A frequent traveling friend of mine reminded me that I WANT my bag to stand out on the luggage return belt. Easier to spot and less chance a thief will try and walk off with it with the excuse "It looks just like mine".
