Hue Carry-On Luggage

I purchased this for a trip to Puerto Rico. I packed for 6 nights and 7 days. This was my first vacation as an adult, which was super exciting so I wanted to treat myself to some quality travel gear. Upon reading reviews I decided to take the plunge and purchase during the Memorial Day sale. I was hesitant due to TikTok reviews, but decided to go for it anyway, and I am glad I did.

What I packed, using packing cubes:

Large packing cube: 4x tops/shorts, 2x dresses, 1x top/pants using rolling folding method.

Small packing cube: 13x undies, 3x swimsuits

Hairbrush, comb, hair elastics, toiletry pouch with shampoo/sunscreen/razor/toothbrush, lotion, makeup, meds, LuluLemon fanny pack, chargers, an extra pair of sweatpants, and a few other small miscellaneous items.

I feared I had overpacked, yet, I still had additional room for souvenirs.

The design of this bag is elegant and sleek. My boyfriend, whom I traveled with, was admiring my Hue and said “it’s very nice, you’re making me jealous”. I was afraid it would crack and be easily damaged (as some TikTok’s mentioned), but this was a carryon for me and did not bear the abuse an airline might inflict on luggage.

The handles are “handy” (hehe) and the extending handle has 2 lengths. The 4 wheels are fantastic. I was dancing around JFK airport, twirling my bag and singing “You’re So Vain”.

Yes, I would definitely recommend this bag. I’m even exploring other items from this site.

I just used my Hue Carry-On for a 6 day trip to Belize and it was PERFECT. The spinner wheels are a smooth dream, it's easy to pack, feels lightweight even when completely full.

This suitcase survived:

- overhead bins of various sizes

- 2 trips on a Cessna Grand Caravan in the cargo pod

- a 7 minute walk from the main road to our hotel, down bumpy sidewalks and gravel

- 2 trips in the trunks of local taxis

What I packed:

- 1 packing cube with 3 dresses, 3 button downs, and a pair of pants

- 1 packing cube with 4 pairs of shorts, a rash guard, 2 tanks, 1 tee, and 2 swimsuits

- 1 compressed packing cube with two pairs of PJs and a bucket hat

- 1 compressed packing cube with undies and a sports bra

- 1 tiny compressed packing cube with a rain jacket

- 2 beach towels

- 1 sand blanket

- 1 pair of sandals (there were 2 but one didn't survive the trip...)

- 2 bras and 1 more swimsuit top

(I'll admit that my packing cubes are from Quince and not Calpak but they still fit perfectly which made me incredibly happy!!)

There's a small amount of scuffing on the shell, but the one scuff I rubbed at with a wet rag came off!

Also, the Luka Duffle was the PERFECT travel buddy with this suitcase.

My one comment on the color: the Mauve is definitely darker in person than the photos led me to believe. It's still beautiful and I still love it, but I might have gotten the Dragonfruit if I had realized that. The first two attached pictures feel the most color accurate of what I posted.
