I needed a new smaller suitcase for faster travel through airports, so I ordered this set. I used it last weekend and it was absolutely perfect! I was able to fit several days of clothes plus a gift for my hosts in the larger bag, and it fit easily in the overhead bin. In the tote, I put my purse, charging cord, reading material, and my toiletries (including the standard TSA quart-size bag of liquids!) plus a light sweater for chilly planes, and it fit nicely under the seat on the plane. The tote has a strap on the back that fits over the suitcases handle, so they could be rolled easily as a unit when I was in the airport. In case I need extra security, the suitcase has a built-in lock that is really easy to use. And I love the blue color and the quilted fabric design on the front of the suitcase and tote. Looks very classy! I hope this set holds up for a long time, because I really like it.
