Cath Kidston – 4 Wheel Cabin Bag
Tuesday, September 08, 2020For month Facebook adverts keep popping up showing a Cath Kidston 4 Wheel Cabin bag and I’ve been so tempted but due to the current situation, I felt like it would be daft to make a big purchase.
The RRP on the case was £135. Which isn’t an amount I would spend on a full-size suitcase let alone a cabin case.
Back in
May, it went in the sale and temptation grew. I’d just had a holiday canceled
and despite it being a bargain I put it off.
I had a
look in TK Maxx and to get an equivalent bag, with a decent brand it was between
£35-60 but none of those spoke to me. “Take me home”, “Take me home”.
Then a couple of weeks ago, I noticed that this bag had been reduced again to £54 and
there was a discount code on the website. Meaning I paid £48.60 and it was free P&P.
I love the
botanical gardens theming, the colours and the design. It also seems to fit in
well with my love of Japan.
My
current cabin bag is a Roxy Rucksack with wheels but the handle is slightly too
short and while it has a good number of pockets, in reality only one of the two
main ones is useable at any one time.
I've tested the handle on this case for height and it's far better for me, and having the four wheels makes it much more stable.
Because this
is a traditional case, it has a roomy main compartment, with luggage straps so
everything won’t fall out if you need to open it. There is also a small side
pocket within the main case which I didn’t realise when I looked at it online.
Another internal
pocket on the lid of the case, as well as a roomy front pocket which is always
handy for keeping travel documents in.
While I
haven’t been able to fully test out the case by taking a trip, it feels well made
and I like that it came with a small padlock, when I'm using it for hand luggage I probably wouldn't lock the case but if for any reason I had to check the case or if it had to be stored away from me, if I was on a train for example then it means I can lock it for my own peace of mind and not have to worry about the case.
