I purchased my F38 and F12 some weeks ago and since than used it for 3-4 nights trips. I am absolutely happy with the build quality, design and functionality. The only drawback I identified so far is that the telescope bar has no second stop. Driving with the train these days, this function would help a lot. For short business trips this combination is a clear recommendation and is worth the price.
easy to use, perfect for short business travels
excelent quality
perfect to use, fast delivery, extraordinary quality !
Superb quality and instant pride in ownership. This is one of those items you cherish. The packing system is brilliant, suit, shirts and all. I'm a big guy and everything fits in for a business trip where cabin luggage is preferred. No way is this bag ever going into the hold of an airplane, waiting for the matching laptop case and I'm good to go.
Nice-looking (the logo is subtle thankfully). Packing a suit works as diagrammed. Pockets are thoughtful and the laptop compartment is well designed. One thing I would suggest is fabric that would cover the suit itself? Still the first roller bag I have that is really functional for a suit.
Excellent storage capacity thanks to the lateral handle guides. Many very thoughfull details - coat hooks, notebook sleeve etc. The finish on the painted metalic details however leaves the suitcase feeling a little cheap and neglected, especially once it has received a few scuff marks. A (brushed?) metal finish the these parts would give the suitcase a more quality appearance and improve the longevity of visual quality appeal.
I purchased the Avant carry-on and briefcase a year ago. Just bought the Zero Crease Compartment to complete the set (but obviously haven’t had a chance to try it yet). As for the other items, they are great…just beautiful (have had several spontaneous compliments from airport employees). Flying out of a regional airport on small jets means I have to gate check my carry-on almost every time…the Interlink system means I can keep my laptop in the briefcase attached to my carry-on all through the airport and boarding, and then just detach it before boarding. Very convenient. Nitpicks: wish the strap on the briefcase was adjustable length; also, it connects to the front section on one side and the back section on the other side — this means when you are zipping or unzipping the briefcase, you always have to maneuver around the strap. Maybe I’m missing something but I think it could be attached to the same side at both ends. Overall the best luggage I’ve ever owned.
The best carry-on luggage for the business person, the stylish, and for those who like to travel lite. Easy to pack, use, and store. It will carry everything you need for a three-day trip.
Lost luggage is a thing of the past.
It is amazing how many clothes can be packed in this carry-on luggage and even if you’re not flying, it’s very comfortable traveling by train with this item 😊
A garment bag/carry-on suitcase with STYLE in-one. This is not a dream and I love this product. It is roomy enough to hold several days worth of clothes, shoes being the pending factor (more shoes=less clothes...not rocket science). I received a lot of complements on this bag and I am sure you will too! Enjoy your purchase I am sure you will not be disappointed.
We love your bag!
Thanks a lot for making such a beautifull bag.
Would also look into and expandable version of them:-)))
Best regards

The handle wasn’t ok when I received it and they promised to replace it, good customers relations.
I've been using both the F38 (brown leather) for quite a while (more than 3 years)... The leather is uniquely durable, the tanning doesn't really fade, faint patina occurs of minor parts but overall, the "new leather" look persists. Like any leather, it does scuff and scratch when mishandled, yet it is surprisingly resistant. About mishandling: I was forced a few times to register my F38 as checked luggage: the luggage fits carry-on size if you exclude the 1 inch of wheels. For instance, the F38 will not fit the metal frame used to confirm carry-on size. This may be specific to domestic Canada and US airlines, and it's not consistent: this was allowed as carry-on for most of my travel.
I usually remove the "zero crease" compartment (included with the F38): this allows me to easily pack for 1-week business travel (4 suits, 5 shirts + 1 or 2 casual outfits). Leaving the zero crease compartment is usually for 2-3 day travail (2 suits + 2 casual outfits). Other than sturdiness and built quality, the F38 is particularly elegant: maybe it is my impression, but it seems to attract compliments: flight attendants, other passengers at the security check, bellboys, travelling colleagues, etc.).
On the downside: it's not the lightest luggage. This is noticeable when you have to walk for more than 15 min with your luggage. The fact that it's a 2 wheel emphasized this impression (in comparison to my Avant). Also, in most airplanes, you can't stroll this in alleys (when walking to your seat). I'm putting this as a "downside," but really, IMHO it's somewhat a consequence of the larger capacity and built quality.
A very nice elegant bag, which can be used 24 hours. It is lightweight and at the same time thick enough to protect your laptop and it can easily fit all your personal stuff. Highly recommend!
The Zero Crease accessory works flawlessly and is ingenious.
Although I love the Avant Carry On luggage, the large travel wallet accessory was, at least until this point less impressive. It has two compartments both closed with individual zips, which is why I chose it over the smaller travel wallet. In both compartments, there are several slots to place various cards and a coin pocket. For me the reason it does not work well, is that it falls a bit between categories. It is excessively big to take the place of my usual wallet, but at the same time too small for my wallet to fit in it.
Therefore, it is either too big or too small.
If I use the coin pockets in both compartments it gets too bulky to also fit my mobile phone and my passport. Then it comes to the zips, they are nice to look at but they are a bit too "loud" visually and at the same time, they are rather fidgety.
Now I have decided to keep the piece and not return it in the hope that I can perhaps find a way to utilise it better in future travels.
Great Carry-On luggage, with a sleek look.
It is actually slightly (5 cm) larger than the permitted size for the airline I fly the most with but possibly due to its sleek look I never had anyone bat an eye.
The standard interior is good, but with the anti-wrinkle insert it is awesome.
I was in touch with customer service with some questions regarding my order, and it was possibly the best customer service experience I have had to date, fast, to the point and no nonsense.
