Terminal 1 Luggage Review
Okay! Let’s get you even more excited about the giveaway by talking about the Terminal 1 Luggage, because it’s truly perfect. ;)
Scroll down to read my full review!
Mark & Graham sent me the full line of luggage in early September so I could really give the suitcases a spin–haha, suitcase joke–and be able to give my honest review. I really appreciated that, and think it speaks volumes about the kind of customer service you can expect with the company.
Also, I’d been pining for the suitcases for the longest time. I’d seen them everywhere, and couldn’t believe the price on such timeless and vintage-looking luggage. (I’d seen similar styles elsewhere for ungodly numbers.) And that crisp white against the camel leather?! Absolutely gorgeous. So yeah: let’s just say I was over the moon when they arrived on my front step, and couldn’t wait to write this post!
Features
- The first thing I should note is that the suitcases are extremely lightweight, as they’re made from durable polycarbonate. I’m a physically weak wimp–just being honest 😜–and these are very easy for me to handle. (Unless I’ve packed an inordinate number of shoes, in which case it’s my fault.)
- They spin 360 degrees with easy-to-maneuver handles, and they spin smoothly. Even Emma, who’s since claimed the mini “Commuter” suitcase, rolls her bag through airports with ease. (Really regretting not getting her monogram on the mini, haha. How did I not even consider that it would be perfect for a child?! #pregnancybrain)
- The optional monogram–available in several styles–and the beautiful leather detailing add such a personal touch. Don’t you think it looks like thousand-dollar luggage?! (Okay, not actually sure what thousand-dollar luggage looks like, besides the obvious LV stuff I see around airports. But I sincerely like Mark & Graham’s line more than that! So classy.)
- Inside, you’ll find a cute and preppy striped liner, along with several zipped closures and mesh pockets. I love suitcases that zip closed on both sides because I find that they help me stay organized. And the mesh pockets are great for intimates, socks, belts, scarves and hats.
The different sizes
Checked Spinner: 28″ h x 18″ w x 11″ d
Carry-On: 21″ h x 14″ w x 10″ d
“Commuter”/Children’s Suitcase: 18″ h x 12″ w x 9″ d (This bag isn’t marketed as a children’s suitcase, but I personally think it should be! Emma is nuts about it, and it works perfectly for her. You can see her with it at the airport here and here!)
How they hold up–specifically the white
I actually had some reservations about ordering the white. I almost ordered the navy because I was so nervous about how the white would hold up when I checked it! But my good friend Carly, who’s owned hers for a long time, assured me that any marks are easily removed with soap and water or magic eraser–and she was totally right.
Yes, the bags will get marks on them from time to time, especially if you check them. But I truly haven’t found a single mark that I haven’t been able to rub off with my fingers or a paper towel. (Haven’t even needed to use the magic eraser yet.) And I’m personally SO glad I went with the white, because in my opinion, it’s the prettiest! :)
That said, I completely understand if you think the marks might bother you, and you’d rather not deal. In which case, the suitcases come in a ton of additional colors: navy (my second favorite), cranberry, champagne, blush, olive and black. Something for everyone, for sure! I have a friend who owns the navy, and says she’s noticed zero marks on her bag. So there’s that!
The guarantee
The best part? Each suitcase comes with a lifetime limited warranty. If your bag breaks, the company will fix or replace it… so this is a worry-free purchase. :)
Oh, and you can still order now and receive your personalized luggage in time for Christmas! Note: Every Mark & Graham purchase comes with complimentary gift wrapping. It’s really the gift destination for everyone on your list, as everything is so personalized!
