I am not someone who's good at packing light; even if I'm only taking a carry-on bag on a trip, it is stuffed to the brim. This is why I've traditionally favoured soft suitcases; they're more malleable and easier to stuff things into. However, today luggage brand Away has released a new collection of Flex suitcases, which come with an extra two inches of extendable space in every hard suitcase.
There are many benefits of having hard luggage, namely that it's a more secure way to travel. These new suitcases have all the benefits of a traditional Away suitcase, with that extra expandable space that makes all the difference. You don't have to use it if you don't want to, but if you buy something new on holiday, don't worry, it'll still fit in your bag. The collection has four sizes, the Carry On, the Bigger Carry On, the Medium, and the Large suitcase. So basically, travel and shop to your heart's content. I might just invest in a hard suitcase now.
