Wow, there is so much beautiful stuff in this thread! Really inspiring and aspirational!

I'm looking for something to use as a weekender and for one and two night business trips. My preference is a HAC but open to anything really - travel Bs and Ks, Victoria II's, Arions. Is there anything else or should be looking for? I'm looking on the secondary market for the time being, brand new would be stretching...

Does anyone know what the max size in each style is, for carry on luggage on most airlines?

Best regards,

Nathan

HAC 45 is good for weekend/short/overnight trips
and very roomy if you don't fasten up the straps.
When you cinch it up, it does reduce the capacity.
It is heavy before you start.
I have not used mine as 'carry on'; apart from not wishing to squash it against other items in a locker where it would be likely to get scratched or worse, the dimension including the height of the handles might be considered to exceed the dimensions.
It depends how picky the cabin staff are.

I would consider a Plume; if you like the sports bag style, Arion has a sporty edge.

Thanks everyone for the suggestions so far. The Plume was already on my radar (but I forgot to mention that in my original post), and it does seem a sensible shape/option for use as "carry on". The red canvas one is nice but perhaps not quite for me, although thanks for posting!

The Thar is completely new to me, and also looks great!

This one, then

There's also another size, Plume 40, but that's even more difficult to find in the preloved market. The only one available right now is one with croc panels. Regular leather ones are rare.

A travel Bolide is a good option, as is a Thar. I'm not sure about dimensions on the bolide, but the Thar is 45*45*25.

As Okiern noted, the Bolide 45 is another good option.

I have the Bolide 45 and Victoria II 43 (there is also a size 50 for the Victoria). Both bags work great as weekenders. The Bolide in sakkam leather is lighter and roomier than the clemence leather Victoria. Weight is a consideration because a fully loaded leather Victoria 43 bag can be quite heavy (no shoulder strap). The Victoria is also available in canvas, though, to keep the weight of the bag down if needed.

IMO, the Bolide is not ideal as a carry-on, however. It stands quite tall when it is full and the handles do not fold down, which makes it more awkward to fit in tight airplane compartments or under a seat. The Victoria, on the other hand, is very compact. So I use the Victoria when I fly and the Bolide for road trips only.

The max carry-on size on most airlines is around 55cm.

Bolide is a great travel companion, just used mine this weekend for my trip to the beach! IMG_1500783158.266650.jpg

Thanks, that one is very nice indeed! It's certainly in contention, along with a couple of Victorias I've found.

I have also come across these Plumes, I'm going to ask the seller for the dimensions!
