Luggage for those on the move

Nothing puts a damper on travel quicker than having to lug around cumbersome luggage wherever your wanderlust may take you. Problem completely solved, say the folks at EZ-Swany, Swany America Corporation, Johnstown, N.Y. All its luggage features a patented weight-bearing push-button retractable handle and four-wheel swivel system. The handle and wheel combination requires one-sixth the effort to maneuver when compared to other rolling luggage of similar size and weight. Since each piece has complete 360[degrees] motion, it easily rolls in all directions, so travelers can glide the piece alongside, in front of, or behind them.

We opted for the 18" Ladies Classic ($269.99).

This black beauty, having a tasteful band with a simple floral design, includes two additional leather trimmed carrying handles, one top center and one on the side for when the bag rests on its four tough-grip side feet. The exterior, constructed with water repellent nylon, has a large pocket on the back and zippered access on the front to the shock absorbent pocket for carrying a laptop computer. The front pocket also gives quick access to the interior of the main compartment and secures closed with a padlock. The main compartment features a removable zippered utility bag, quick releasing garment hold-down straps, and three removable zippered mesh pouches. EZ-Swany also offers coordinating accessory pieces that all feature the floral trim.
