Lipault actually had or has a version of this but because the large bag rides sideways on a 2 wheeled tote, it is too wide to wheel down a plane aisle. It would work better as a spinner. A problem with 2 wheeled bags being stacked using a sleeve is they are much heavier to pull than when an add a bag strap lowers the center of gravity.
Assuming that you have a fairly light personal item. If you are a gadget hoarder with an oversized laptop all that weight is too far back and has a torque effect against pulling.
