As an avid traveller and confessed over-packing finding a suitcase that fits my long list of requirements has been a challenge over the years but after finally ditching my heavy two-wheel design (I was only hanging onto it for aesthetically pleasing star design) the time had come to get myself a new set of wheels and take the stress out of travelling.
I have been looking for a design that boasts a decent size for a couple of nights staycation (I travel a lot with work), that is lightweight prior to me filling it with countless shoe options, and also easy to manoeuvre, four wheels were a crucial design element for me after years of lugging heavy suitcases around. so you can stuff your gear to the brim without hassle. I opted for Nere Travel's Bondi medium suitcase, available to buy here, which you can now get in an early black Friday deal.
Originally £129, you can now save £39 as the Bondi suitcase is currently selling for £90.30 here. You can also snap up the larger design for £97.30 here and the cabin size case, ideal for plane-carry on for £69.30 here.

I also love how aesthetically pleasing the Bondi suitcase is but it's not just a pretty face. The design also comes with an ergonomic grip handle, zippered divides, a removable mesh wash bag plus compression belts to snugly fit your belongings, and even has a sneaky pocket stashed on the side for those precious goodies. Not to mention expandable sides, which if like me is a bonus, if you struggle to pack light even on short staycations.
