My ex-husband used to control every penny I spent including "unnecessary" luggage fees. Well guess what honey. I'm 54 and FREE now this bag means I never have to think about those fees again! Took it on my first solo vacation to Italy ( eat your heart out, Gray) and it was absolutely perfect. Fit everything I needed for 2 weeks of la dolce vita. Every time I walked past the check-in counters I thought about how he used to stress about every little expense. Not my problem anymore! This bag is my declaration of independence.
