A suitcase birthed in durability, but majored in style.

Traveling can be a stressful experience, but having the right luggage can make all the difference. The Quince Hard Shell Line of Luggage is turning heads and filling up airport overhead stows more and more as it is becoming a popular option for travelers who want a suitcase that is both stylish and durable. Our crew- who travels a lot-took a closer look at the features of this luggage and explore what makes it stand out from the competition. Whether you're a frequent flyer or an occasional traveler, the Quince Hard Shell Luggage lineup is definitely worth considering. Let's dive in and see what it has to offer.

A survey by Travel + Leisure found that hard-sided luggage is more popular among travelers than soft-sided luggage. 44% of respondents said they prefer hard-sided luggage, while 33% prefer soft-sided luggage.

The Quince Rolltop Suitcase is a stylish and functional luggage piece designed for modern travelers who want a sleek and versatile bag. It features a roll-top closure system that allows you to adjust the size of the bag depending on your needs, and it's made from durable materials that can withstand the rigors of travel. One of the standout features of the Quince Rolltop Suitcase is its spacious interior, which provides ample room for your clothes, toiletries, and other essentials. It also has multiple pockets and compartments to help you stay organized, and its expandable design makes it easy to pack more items if needed.

Customers who have purchased the Quince Rolltop Suitcase have praised its high-quality construction, sleek design, and ease of use. Some have noted that the roll-top closure system can take some getting used to, but overall, they appreciate the versatility it provides.

Our crew had to test one of these out, so we grabbed the Hard-Shell Check-In Suitcase, hit the road, and put Quince to the test.

TESTING IT OUT

Our crew had a brilliant idea (at least to us it was)- let’s test the Hard-Shell on a trip with the crew this past weekend (we went on the trip first of course). Let’s load up and see how the suitcase handles the day traveling…

According to a survey by Travel + Leisure, 52% of respondents said they worry about luggage theft while traveling.

One of the first things we loved was the locking zippers for safety while we travel. With luggage theft on the brain- we felt like we could rest knowing our gear was safe and sound.

We typically use a smaller bag for shorter trips and a larger bag for long-stays. On this trip we headed out for 4 days (3 nights) and had a mixture of events/things planned from casual kicking it by the backyard pool, going out to a nicer dinner one of the nights, taking a chill day exploring local attractions one of the days, and of course essentials needed to maximize each outing. Needless to say we had a full 4 days packed ahead of us. We only brought the one Check-In bag from Quince.

The size of the suitcase was perfect for packing all items. The compartments give plenty of room to organize your stuff- and keep things nicely in one place. The full suitcase zipper gives you more room when needed, and the pouches do a great job of organizing items in slots to give you more room as you go. The shoe compartment was perfect to keep those off our clean shirts, and the clips inside keep everything in place. Easy to see zipper pouches make for finding your toothbrush a breeze, without having to unpack the rest of the bag.

Our most highlighted moment was the fact that we can easily roll this suitcase- any direction, forward and back- the roll goes on smooth as butter. The suitcase has plenty of options for stowing your luggage while navigating the airport, on-boarding of an airplane, and quick exit once you landed at your destination.

The Quince Hard-Shell Suitcase was perfect for packing light or heavy on the trip, easy to roll in and off an airline, accessible no matter which way we packed it, and was truly life-proof.
