Hello all!
I was wondering if anyone else has the same issues I had with owning the Pegase. So my first piece of LV luggage was a vintage Alzer 60, I loved looking at it but as far as using it to travel it became very cumbersome. In that time period, I also purchased a Keepall 55 for weekend trips. I decided to sell my Alzer for a profit, get a pre-loved Pegase 55 and have money left over.
I soon realized during my first trip with the Pegase 55, it really doesn't fit as much as people on Youtube or the forums would express. If I were packing for a weekend I could barely get a pair of boots/shoes, 3 outfits, and my toiletry bag let alone use this for a week's trip I would then have to check another bag which I hate doing. I decided to give it one last chance since I was going to DC for the weekend just for 2 nights and 3 days. I was able to pack a pair of boots, 2 pairs of jeans, 3 shirts, a couple of tank tops, a toiletry bag, and my leather coat on top and I was barely able to zip it up. At the same time, I could fit all those things with room to spare in my Keepall 55..
After that moment I realized I needed to sell the Pegase and I was looking around and found the Rimowa cabin precisely what I was looking for. I was able to find a pre-loved one, and after receiving it I decided to try packing the Rimowa with the same items I did in the Pegase. WOW! The Rimowa was able to hold everything plus I would have been able to fill a ton more stuff.
My question to you has anyone had these issues with the Pegase? Don't get me wrong it was a beautiful piece of luggage but from a practical point of view how did you make it work or did you end up selling it as well?
