Cabin Case or Storage Box? The Sanrio Hard Case Holds 15L, Resists Knocks and Rides Your Luggage

Heading out with a bag of cosmetics, a camera or souvenirs—but afraid they'll get crushed in your suitcase, yet awkward to carry by hand? A hard hand-carry case fills exactly that in-between need.

Cabin case or storage box?

Both. It blends a suitcase's sturdiness with a vanity bag's portability, neatly cabin-sized. About 34 x 25 x 17cm (excluding handle), roughly 15L—great as a carry-on or a travel storage box.

Why is it great for travel?

A top handle makes it easy to carry; double zips open and close smoothly; and best of all, a rear strap slides straight onto a large suitcase's handle, so you tow two pieces with one free hand. Airport walks get easier.

Is it knock-resistant?

The shell is impact-resistant, protecting contents from scratches and bumps, with non-slip feet to prevent scuffs when set down. Note: the exterior is water-resistant but the interior is not, so don't store moisture-sensitive items in the rain.

Best ways to use it

• Travel carry-on: for crush-prone cosmetics, cameras, chargers.
• On your big case: strap onto the handle, stress-free at the airport.
• Home storage: a vanity or accessory box that looks good out.
• For collectors: 4 Sanrio designs, useful and charming.
