All travel lovers will be familiar with the inevitable airport luggage struggle.  Whether you’re heading overseas or travelling domestically, a heavy, unwieldy or difficult-to-manage suitcase is guaranteed to dampen your spirits and put an end to those happy holiday feels, quick smart. 

Whether you find yourself wrestling with wonky wheels, lugging too-heavy carry on or gritting your teeth because the darn handle is stuck, a-gain, there’s no denying that luggage woes can take the fun out of a vacay and leave you stressed, grumpy and sore.

Fear not, lug-free luggage is in the bag. Australian startup July has just released the lightest double-wheel suitcase in the world, so you can keep calm and carry on more easily next time you travel.

Weighing in at just 1.8kg, the Carry On Light weighs less than two one-litre bottles of water. So, no matter how much junk is in your trunk, it’s far easier to manage. Even for the most petite members of the jet set. 

Crafted with a German polycarbonate shell, twin-bar telescopic handle and Silent Move Series 2 double wheels, it’s 100% vegan, comes in nine colours and has a lifetime warranty.

Bonus? You can personalise it with your name or initials, so there’ll be none of those awkward “mine or yours?” moments at baggage claim. 

The Carry On Light is now available at july.com
