Let’s be honest — the most frustrating part about a Europe trip is packing and unpacking.
But what makes it a whole lot easier is having high quality, spacious but still compact, luggage.
Samsonite has just launched a limited-edition Upscape 3-Piece Luggage Set for $850 which is the ultimate suitcase set to take on your next trip with a carry on size, larger bag and toiletry kit included.

It comes in a fashion forward steel blue colourway so you’ll actually want to pose with your luggage at the departures lounge.
The Upscape collection is modern in its design and is made from lightweight polypropylene with a washable and recyclable rPet lining.
Other features include shock-absorbing suspension wheels, TSA locks and two-way zippers for extra security.
The set also comes in printed packaging which is ideal if you’re planning on giving this set as a gift to someone else.
Whether packing for a weekend getaway or a longer trip, Upscape offers expandable storage to accommodate all of your needs — say goodbye to cramming and enjoy hassle-free packing.
Travelling with a good suitcase can be transformative and our Best Picks Editor Sophie recently tested out a suitcase from Samsonite.
Sophie trialled the Samsonite C-Lite Spinner in Navy Blue in the 75cm size.
The case, available on the Samsonite website, comes in five different colours and four sizes, ranging from a 55cm option all the way up to 81cm.
If you’re someone who likes to know all of the specifics before I go into my own experience, what you need to know is that it features smooth-rolling double wheels, a dual tube handle, TSA lock and USB port.
All of this is housed in a stylish lightweight case that was made in Europe from Samsonite’s trademarked Curv material technology.
And now, onto her thoughts.
First up, this suitcase is really light. It might look like it’s made of sturdy stuff, but the 75cm case weighs just 2.8 kilograms – a fraction of my other bulky cases that always reduce her weight limit in dresses.
Sophie packed a week’s worth of clothes and toiletries for herself and her daughter, Flo, in the suitcase with ease, and we were well under the draconian Jetstar weight allowance thanks to the lightness of the suitcase.
Secondly, she explained that this case is a class apart when it comes to wheeling it around an airport.
“As any parent will know, between juggling the travel pram, portacot, nappy bag and various miscellaneous cases and items at an airport, travelling with young kids is never easy.”
But she said that the Samonsite C-Lite Suitcase made everything a breeze it was that easy to wheel along next to me.
“Honestly, I literally said to my husband: ‘Why have we been struggling all our lives before this?’”
“Finally, the case looks good.”
Sophie finished her review by saying that “while it’s not all about the appearance, it is also just a little bit about the appearance, and this stylish case features a shell-inspired design, shiny finish and versatile colours that will go with everything in your wardrobe.”
“It was also (handily) instantly recognisable at the baggage carousel, thanks to its unique look and class.”
