The Stratic Agravic I posted about in this thread long time ago (post #500) qualifies:

I think it's been discontinued though.

Thanks. Off to search the interwebs (although it might be over 2kg)...

Remember seeing Japanese tourists around town and they seem to have light, extra small carry-ons. Rather than accosting them, thought I'd check out a few Japanese luggage brands.
Found these on the Proteca site.
18" (1.7kg)

22" (1.8kg)

Don't meet my requirements, but thought I'd share. Might take a look at them if I'm nearby a store.
(Apologies if already been a post about these.)

Muji also carries luggage internationally.

I don't know if this has been said, but Tumi used to make a model called Alpha Super Léger. It is the original black Alpha ballistic design. It weighs less than six pounds (ok, there are three-pound suitcases out there now but still...). It's a twenty-inch (came also in 22'') and I love this suitcase. I've had it for almost four years. You can fill it up until you think it might burst without any problems, and when it's empty it folds pretty flat for storage. Maybe in some (online) outlet they still carry them? The successor series is the Tumi Voyageur collection, I think, but that's a women's line, right?

Delsey Hyperlite 2.0.
Have both. Have most of the set, actually in the black with orange highlights. The 4 wheel spinner is 4.4 lbs, which I believe is 2kg. The 2 wheel is slightly heavier at 4.6 lbs, but hopefully that's close enough. It's always on sale at Macys, it seems. I think it's only sold at Macys though. I think Delsey has a similar one sold everywhere, but it might be a tenth of a pound heavier or so.
