I have a leather cabin bag and a transatlantic roller suitcase (like the one pictured, but in the transatlantic fabric...sorry, I'm not exactly sure what that was.) I have used these bags back and forth between Alaska and California and all over the globe. They are amazing, fit a lot and have held up really well. I have never checked them (always carry them onto the plane or put them in the carry-on luggage storage space on really small planes), so I can't testify about that. I love them and I'm really glad that I picked them up.
Actually, I would get the vermillion stripe ... I just love the orange color! But the mahogany stripe is gorgeous too (and probably much more practical)!
