VOCIER - suit wrinkle-free in a carry-on
Congratulations, it looks very crisp and stylish and the suit system will probably work as well. Good to have more choice in the world of luggage, because we really haven't got quite enough to talk about here(!). I'm not so sure about the leather carry handles, however. They don't look particularly comfortable for the hand, especially with a heavy case, and I suspect that after not very much use they will start to flap around untidily rather than staying neatly as per the photos. Easy to fix in the next version, however.

thanks for the kind words guys
The leather straps are held together with some strong magnetic buttons, so they stay put in the position shown in the pictures.
Also under normal rolling use, the magnets are strong enough to hold everything tightly together.
However, if you then decide to use these handles, you can just grab them and the magnets will come loose.
In our Video you can see this process, how the handles are first held in place and then the hand opens one handle, and it comes loose.
You are right though: they are not particularly comfortable. Not uncomfortable either, but also not totally super-comfortable. This was a design decision we had to make because we wanted the handles to be compact and use very little space. We are currenty thinking of how we could improve that.
You won't be using them that often though, its an upright rolling luggage so the top handle is where you will grab the C38 most of the times.

I love the product and will buy it if it meets one condition: 4 wheels.
Does the c38 model have 4 wheels so you can push it as you walk ?
Such a feature comes really handy especially inside the plane where you can roll it sideways and doesn't bump into seats.

I'm confused by this. I don't use a "spinner," yet have no trouble at all pushing my 2-wheeler down the aisle. Why would one be unable to do so?

I have given away all of my possessions and live out of one case, a Rimowa Topas Stealth. I am greatly interested in your design and would like to know more.
Perhaps I could try one for you and write about whether it would be suitable for persons such as me, who live as vagabonds and travel on trains, fast trains, ferries and in F.
Please contact me here or at my Twitter or Tumblr or Reddit. I am interested.

In any case I'm after a 4-wheeler simply because it's more convenient to push next to you whether in airport or in front of you inside a plane.
So does the c38 have 4-wheel spinners ? If not, then I'm gonna have to wait till the next model.

I actually PUSH in front of me (not PULL behind me) my 2 wheel suitcase down the aisle. It's a smaller 20" suitcase, but I find I have much better control over where it goes than when I pull it behind. You just have to be careful you don't hit the heels of the person in front of you

Congratulations on the launch.
I found your video and looked at it - its almost impossible to figure out if the bag lives up to the promise - its too dark and slick to be useful to a person who wants to find out if the bag holds up - its perfect for your brand message though.
Can you post a video under normal lighting conditions of you or some one in your company packing a week's long worth of clothes into the bag? I use a Gate 8, which is sold at around 1/6th your price and don't have a problem with your price even though its very expensive, as long as it really is as good as your website states.

Hi guys,
regarding 4 wheels: Its VERY tricky to do our bag with four wheels, since the IATA limit of 55cm still holds, and you fight for every inch on a carry-on anyway. That being said: we have some ideas and are working on it
will take some time tough...
HoboPrep, are you serious? You gave away all your possessions and live out of one case?
sure lets get in contact!
Yeah, we are currently working on a "normal" video that shows how to pack the luggage. Will be out soon I hope. In the meantime, we have made a "how to pack site: https://www.vocier.com/how-to-pack/

I've suggested using removable wheels; maybe you can be the guys to implement that idea (remove the wheels after you put the bag in the bin, IOW).

(I sent you a PM with the picture, do not want to post our developments too publicly...) We are currently trying to figure out if its really appealing/acceptable to remove the wheels? For sure, to fit into the "bin" if and when its actually tested, thats no problem to remove the wheels for that I guess.
Them main impediment we were thinking of is: It may not fit in the overhead compartments on a plane with the wheels on:-(
...at least not longitudinally. So you might end up being the guy who annoys everybody, unless you remove the wheels on every single flight.
What do you guys think about this concept? Appealing or not? Let me know, very curious about that!!

Hi MaxBuck, thats a great idea, in fact we already have had a prototype of such a wheel (I sent you a PM with the picture, do not want to post our developments too publicly...) We are currently trying to figure out if its really appealing/acceptable to remove the wheels?
