The UK’s top influencers are often seen with these suitcases at airports, a testament to its customizable features and the variety of colours available – indeed, there are dozens to select from.
We put the HB medium personalized fashion font initial suitcase through its paces on a brief weekend getaway to Spain. It underwent a rigorous trial, from the muddy English countryside to beachfront hotel.

Verdict
Each suitcase arrives with a protective film on the front to prevent scratches, so please remove it before use.
It’s the ideal travel companion—lightweight and just the right size. It glides smoothly over carpets, escalators, and walkways. The suitcase’s light sage green colour had me concerned about how it would withstand the rough handling during flights, but I’m happy to report it remained unmark and scratch-free. The personalisation added a touch of class, and it was easily identifiable at baggage claim.
Walking through the airport, I found myself smiling as I pulled along an olive green suitcase, embellished with my initials, which appeared to draw the attention of photographers—though it might have been the case itself that caught their interest!
