My LV Roadster carry on bag is probably the best piece of luggage i've ever bought. I regularly have it checked in (and has probably survived about 20 luggage carosels now). It has been dropped out of a speeding boat off the coast of Krabi, been swept away by a wave in Queensland, and has sat in the scorching singapore sun for days on end.

And it still looks and feels the way it did when I bought it 2 years ago. There is a reason why LV is so popular, and it might have something to do with them being luggage makers for 150 years. 

The beauty of Louis Vuitton luggage is not solely in its form, but also in its function. The keepall is so incredibly light, and in my experience will take an absolute thrashing and it won't even show the slightest bit of wear and tear. Although the issue with the pegase is that in the leather, like taiga leather, it hits the standard 7kg hand luggage weight restriction quickly due to the fact that the bag is very heavy. 

I wouldn't personally buy Louis Vuitton luggage to check into the hold, travelpro or samsonite will do nicely there, but it's a good option for carry on as there isn't much dear old Louis wouldn't stand up to. 

Durable, hard-wearing and classic luggage. Stands test of time and is very robust. Always happy to check-in bags and have never had one stolen. John, a closer look at the luggage will reveal  many pieces are infact highly practical.  LV must be doing something right given their wide range of goods and popularity.  I regularly spot pieces on baggage belt and in cabins.
