American Tourister 24" Luggage- Anthracite

I was so excited about this product because I wanted a cute travel bag for the airport that stood out. I bought this bag a week before my trip to Cancun, we left September 3rd. The travel day to Cancun went through with flying colors. Then it sat on the floor in our room for 5 days unobstructed except to get stuff out of it. Come September 8th, travel day BACK to the US. This bag didn’t even make it out of the hotel elevator without coming apart. As I excited the elevator I heard a cracking noise, next thing you know my beloved bag is sitting wanky. I look down and by gosh the wheel has con-caved into itself. Exiting an elevator a resort did that. Just let that sink in because i dont know how this thing made it to Cancun in the first place if something that minuscule could cause so much damage. Thankfully the bellboys had duct tape so I was about to bandage it back to a somewhat stable condition. Fast forward to retrieving my bag a customs. Bless its heart when I received it, the other wheel had also cracked and con-caved into itself. But I still had 3 wheels (one being duct taped and going strong) that did the job getting it 50 yards to the back guy to check it for my next and final flight. My final destination was to my home airport, where I received my bag from baggage claim with only 3 wheels. I lost the non duct taped damaged wheel somewhere in airport land. How did the duct tape wheel do might you ask? Horribly. It was still intact but you couldn’t put any weight on it, luckily both damaged wheels were on the same side so we could attempt to wheel it on two wheels but as we got to the car we heard a crack so it was only a matter of minutes before the other two gave way too. All in all I hope this review gives you insight on never purchasing this bag nor any bag from this company. They are cheap, hollow, have a thin outer material, and not worth anyones money. This has really been the only horrible purchase I’ve ever received using Amazon. I saw mixed reviews and I saw mainly good ones so I decided to take a chance on it and not will I never take that chance again. I will be getting my money back Amazon and I will be sending this damaged product back with no questions asked because I stated it in my statement how horrible this product was and I’m not throwing away my money on trash.
