YNot? Suitcase Review

YNot? is an Italian fashion accessory brand that makes handbags, purses and suitcases. They contacted me recently to see if I wanted to collaborate with them, and when I saw the designs that were travel inspired I was keen to take part. 

YNot? was established is 2003 and opened its first branded shop in Milan, in June 2016. Located in the heart of Milan’s fashion district, the boutique’s design is inspired by the aesthetic philosophy of the brand. 'Why not?', typifies the attitude to life of fans' of YNot? bags and fashion accessories. The typical customer sees life as an adventure in which you have to try everything once. 
 You can now find YNot? in over 800 shops across Europe.

So when I was looking at what to choose I decided to review a cabin size suitcase. I use my small suitcase a lot as it is perfect for a few days away.  As I needed a new one I decided to pick one from the range of YNot? at Our Bag Online.


The cabin size suitcase I chose was called the Yes-Fixy suitcase,  in a design called Blue Rain. Blue Rain is a black and white design of Paris with vivid colours over layed. 


When it arrived it was well packaged and had a fine film to protect the design. Immediately I thought the design looked great and the suitcase appeared sturdy and well constructed.


The suitcase comes with a TSA approved lock. The TSA are the agency that deals with travel security in the US. If you are travelling to the US, the TSA requires access to luggage without the passengers being present. Staff have an approved master key that can open and relock your case without having to break the lock. This suitcase has a Travel Sentry Approved lock, a lock that is extremely secure and is approved by the TSA.



To set the lock was easy, just follow the clear instructions above and you are good to go. Simple.




The inside of the case was well thought out. On the right is an area with the luggage ties and on the left is a zipped compartment of the same size. This also has two smaller zipped areas too, perfect for putting charges and cables perhaps. 





I took the suitcase away for a weekend and it was the perfect size for a weekend break. I managed to get all my clothes in as well as toiletries and my laptop and camera. 

I would recommend the YNot? cabin size suitcase. It's a perfect size for a weekend break and to carry as hold luggage, measuring 54 by 34 by 20 CM. It has a packing size of 33 litres and a weight of 2.5KG. It feels sturdy and is easy to wheel around.

If you are looking for a stylish cabin suitcase that won't break tomorrow I can definitely recommend one of the suitcases from 
YNot? They offer free delivery to the UK on all orders over £50 as well and qualifying orders over £100 for EU and USA delivery. I really like my new cabin size suitcase, it's stylish, it's easy to use and it's great for a weekend stay. Recommended. 

Perfect Luggage For A Winter Break

Being self employed has it's downsides. Every Christmas for the last five years I have been working as it was our busiest time. Due to new opportunities we have decided to close our shop and move onto other things. Well I am now seeing the benefits. I love to travel and this year we will be going to the Christmas markets in Europe for the first time.

My husband loves to take everything apart from the kitchen sink on holiday but this year I am determined to pack lightly for a short break in Europe, so I have been looking for luggage I can use time and time again that won't break the bank. Also a factor that is important to me is how lightweight the luggage is to wheel around cities on the way to our hotel.

Well I think I found my perfect luggage from TJ Hughes department store.

TJ Hughes is a discount department store specialising in home and fashion, fragrance and cosmetics, technology and electricals. It offers premium brands at up to 70% discount and quality products at low prices. I am proud to support British businesses and from humble beginnings in 1912 in Liverpool they have grown to 9 stores across the country, and now employ 700 people. They are also online too at www.tjhughes.co.uk.

Whilst browsing their website I came across the luggage below.


Sub O-G Lighweight Luggage
26" Dimensions:

• Outer Dimensions: 74cm x 471cm x 26cm (Includes handles and wheels)
• Inner Dimensions: 67cm x 45cm x 26cm
• Weight: 2.38kg/5.25lbs
• Capacity 75 litres

£37.99 RRP £65

What I like about this luggage is that it is extremely lightweight, in fact they claim it's the world's lightest suitcase. They also say on their website "This product is tested to destruction and despite its light frame is extremely strong and durable". So often light cases look very flimsy and these look sturdy whilst still being lightweight - the perfect lightweight luggage for Winter breaks.

On their website they they a range of other luggage from hold luggage to the roomiest suitcases with super prices from £9.99 as well.

If you are planning a trip to the sun this Winter have a look at their sunglasses and sun cream too. Now to plan my next holiday... fun and sun in Florida perhaps?
