Um, like a bag bungee?
Yep. The simpler model (less plastic) seems to work better IME, and also is less dangerous from ricochet.

Um, like a bag bungee?
I’m totally with you on the usefulness of the travel LC on the return trip; that’s how I discovered it in the first placeIf it's zipped (not expanded) it fits as a personal item. My typical approach is zipped, purse inside (anywhere from J28 to K35, or more frequently Halzan 31), also along with a bunch of other stuff I might need.
And I always carry an extra in my luggage - if I do carryon-only on the way over, I can check the spinner on the way back and substitute an expanded LC full of goodies for overhead.
(Someday LC will figure out that adding a "sleeve" to fit over a spinner handle is a no-brainer. In the meantime DH and I use luggage "bras" to keep the LCs secure on top of the suitcases.)
Mind totally blown!!This reel from Bagsionista on IG demonstrates the perfect way to bring ALL your H bags on any trip...brilliant!
Just had to google the Cabat since the St Louis GM is already quite largeLol DH was making fun of my “bag stack” on a recent trip. B35 inside a St Louis GM inside a Cabat.![]()
Put smaller articles of clothing and other things in the bags to save space, if you haven’t already?Trying to figure out how to fit 2 Kelly 28s, one sellier, one retourné, in a carryon (not a roller suitcase, a second item, my suitcase is full of clothes) with a laptop and the other long-flight needs....I thought I had my bag travel sorted but this one has me stumped.....argh!!!
i think if your second item is a ‘personal item,’ it may not hold more than one bag and your laptop. If you can repack some socks or underpinnings or jewelry in the one of the Ks, and then roll clothes tightly around the bag, so it won’t be crushed, perhaps one bag could fit in the suitcase? I pack rolled up clothes in travel cubes to compress As much as possible. I eliminate as many on flight needs as possible (BTW) or pack them into the remaining K and nestle that in the personal item.Trying to figure out how to fit 2 Kelly 28s, one sellier, one retourné, in a carryon (not a roller suitcase, a second item, my suitcase is full of clothes) with a laptop and the other long-flight needs....I thought I had my bag travel sorted but this one has me stumped.....argh!!!
Yes! This is exactly what I need (and I’m Team Rimowa already). Thank you!!i think if your second item is a ‘personal item,’ it may not hold more than one bag and your laptop.

It probably won’t help you right now, but in the future. if your luggage allowance is two full carryons (not just a personal item) the stuff you mention can easily fit in a piece the size of the soft sided Rimowa weekender (that has a built in sleeve that goes over the handles of the roller. The laptop can slide into the separate outside pocket. the weekender is large, but it can fit under the seat in front or in an overhead compartment of business or first class.
