    Travelling by car or train often requires flexible luggage that can be adapted to the space conditions. Soft sided luggage is the best choice for this! It not only stands out for its elasticity, but also for its low weight and high durability. One of the advantages of softside luggage is its temperatur insensitivity: fabric suitcases never become brittle. Larger pieces are reinforced at the bottom and corners: the side elements are strengthened to keep the luggage in shape. When packing, you must store the heavy items near the wheels so that the trolley does not tip over when you pull it. The stability of soft-shell suitcases is generally related to the organization of the content. Many soft-sided suitcases have a stretch pleat to provide additional storage space when needed, as well as a TSA lock and a RFID pocket. The design of softside luggage ranges from classic variations in leather to sporty models in nylon. Whether you are a globetrotter, a business traveller or an occasional adventurer – soft-sided luggage is available in various formats and colours!

    Weekender bags, travel bags and backpack trolleys

    If you have to cover short distances, a weekender bag, travel backpack or travel bag is a good choice. Some travel bags have additional straps so that they can also be used as a backpack. Travel backpacks are suitable for short trips. They offer enough space for everything you need during a weekend trip. Backpack trolleys are a functional hybrid form of a travel backpack and trolley. They are particularly useful for trips with multiple stops and transfers – if it has to go fast, the luggage is carried on the shoulder, on longer distances it can be pulled comfortably. When you are on foot for a long time or have heavy luggage, travel bags with wheels are a good option. Many weekender bags are equipped with a strap for attachment to the trolley case. Most models can be folded up and stowed to save space.

    Soft sided luggage, trolleys and garment bags

    Fabric suitcases are available in different sizes – from hand luggage to spacious versions for trips lasting several weeks. Most cases come with 360° wheels and are extremely easy to manoeuvre. Soft-sided suitcases with interchangeable wheels are interesting for frequent travellers because the wheels on these models are easy to replace. Many fabric suitcases are equipped with practical outer pockets in which travel documents or magazines, tickets and charging cables are quickly stowed away. Smaller side pockets for handkerchiefs or travel guides are also common. Internal zip and laundry compartments provide more structure. Business trolleys are equipped with a padded, often removable laptop bag as standard. Garment bags are also ideal for business travellers: they impress with well-thought-out details and good organization. Thanks to an integrated coat hanger, shirts and jackets always remain wrinkle-free. The garment bags are also suitable for evening wear and other crease-sensitive clothing. Adjustable cross straps, which prevent clothing from slipping and crumpling, are typical for soft sided luggage.

    Softside luggage made of synthetic materials

    Travel bags and textile suitcases are often made of synthetic fabrics such as nylon and polyester. The synthetic materials are particularly hard-wearing, abrasion-resistant and light. The so-called ripstop fabrics, for example the ripstop nylon, are woven using a special technique that is particularly tear-resistant. Thanks to a special coating, most polyester and nylon cases are water-repellent and thus protect the interior from water penetration. The nylon luggage is also quick-drying. However, you should avoid heavy rain, because the resistance decreases with increasing amounts of water. Tarpaulin models are 100% waterproof. Some softside luggage are made of polyester with a polyurethane coating, the so-called bi-tech – very robust and waterproof synthetic fabric. The luggage made of imitation leather is usually more affordable than leather models. It shares the haptics and appearance with its leather counterparts and also has many other advantages. For example, soft sided luggage made of imitation leather are particularly easy-care, water-repellent and lightweight.

    Luggage made from natural materials

    Those who value natural materials such as leather or cotton will find what they are looking for in travel bags especially. The reason for this is that both materials are significantly heavier than their synthetic counterparts and therefore less suitable for long-term trips, where every gram counts. As it is a natural product, cotton travel bags are breathable. This is advantageous if there are damp clothes or wet towels inside because the moisture can escape. However, cotton models are more permeable to water than softside luggage made of synthetic materials. Impregnation is necessary for a water-repellent layer. Many versions are made of canvas: the material is usually consists of cotton. The fabric is characterized by its strength: canvas can withstand heavy weights without tearing. It is breathable and water-repellent. One of its advantages is the colour fastness: even after years of use the canvas bags do not fade. Leather travel bags are particularly impressive due to their elegant appearance but are hardly suitable for large-sized luggage due to their high weight. They are used primarily in the form of pilot suitcases, weekend bags and hand luggage. The noble luggage is first and foremost a visual highlight: leather models are considered as sophisticated and exquisite.

    Combination of different materials

    Leather trimmings are widely used to reinforce handles and straps or as a stylish design element. The mix of leather and polyamides is very popular for soft sided luggage: these suitcases and bags impress with water resistance, shape stability and elasticity. Polyamide fibers are also very abrasion-resistant. A mix of polyester and polyamides as well as nylon and imitation leather is also common. Hybrid suitcases made from a material mix are generally considered to be very robust. Lovers of purely natural products will love the softside luggage made of canvas and leather. This connection is mainly popular in the manufacture of travel bags and weekend bags.

    Care Tips

    Synthetic fabrics

    Bags made of synthetic materials such as nylon and polyester are very easy to care for. Light dirt can be wiped off with a damp cloth. Make sure that the water is lukewarm, otherwise, you can damage the material. Nylon softside luggage can be cleaned by hand. Your polyester suitcase should be dry cleaned if it is very soiled. Soft-shell suitcases and travel bags made of imitation leather are best wiped with a damp, soft cloth. Let them air dry afterwards.

    Natural materials

    Small luggage made of cotton can be washed inside out with water that is up to 30 degrees warm. Waterproof, impregnated cotton bags should not be cleaned in the washing machine – this will destroy the protective layer. The dirt on the softside luggage made of canvas can be removed with lukewarm water and mild soap. Caution is advised with leather luggage. Depending on the type of leather, cleaning with a damp cloth (smooth leather) or with a brush or cleaning rubber (suede) is recommended. In the case of heavy soiling, you should use suitable care products. Important: Leather luggage should be stored in air-permeable cotton bags when not in use.
