How about the Travelpro suitcase brand introduction

In the movie Up in the Air, George Clooney's fluid handling of packing and passing through security is impressive, and the suitcase that shines in his hands is the Travelpro. Robert Plath, the founder of Travelpro, was a captain at Northwest Airlines in the United States, and accidentally erected the case and fitted it with wheels and levers, creating the prototype of the modern trolley case, called Rollaboard. Today, Travelpro's products such as suitcases, executive briefcases, handbags and backpacks are the choice of more than 90 airlines and frequent flyers around the world.
 
Travelpro is so popular in the U.S. that it ranked 9th and 10th among checked luggage and cabin suitcase brands in a 2017 survey of more than 40,000 consumers by Consumer Reports. "Durable and durable" is the main reason why Travelpro is popular with consumers, there are four series of suitcases, soft case products are its main products, all of which are made of high-quality ballistic nylon or polyester fabrics, with strong abrasion resistance, and the fabric surface has DuraGuard® coating to enhance the anti-fouling and waterproof ability of the box.
 
Wirecutter, a U.S.-based full-category review website, voted Travelpro's Platinum Elite series the "best suitcase" and called it "the best consignment case for most travelers." Indeed, in the long run, nylon softcases offer less wear and tear than PC hardcases, with a soft fabric design for extra flexibility, exterior pockets for quick access to small items, a 2-inch-wide expansion zipper for more, and a dedicated external USB port for the 21-inch variant. Its aluminum handle extends to three different heights (38, 40, and 421/2 inches), and the eight-wheel spinner wheels roll smoothly in any direction, but some users have reported that it is relatively less easy to maneuver on rough or gravel surfaces. However, the starting price of $254 still makes it very competitive.
 
Travelpro's other soft cases inherit the advantages of Platinum Elite, with a slight difference in exterior design, but Travelpro pays more attention to the practical design of the box, and does not pay too much attention to the style design. The color of the soft box is relatively dark and single, which is relatively more suitable for calm business people, which is also a common problem of many brand soft boxes.
 
If you're looking for aesthetics without sacrificing practicality, Travelpro's Maxlite 5 Series trunks are worth considering. Designed with a 100% polycarbonate monocoque, it's lightweight and impact-resistant, with a net weight of 2.5kg in 21" suitcase, a textured surface for durability to reduce the visibility of scratches and scuffs, and an inner divider and elastic press-fit straps for packing convenience and flexibility. The 21-inch and 25-inch are priced at $138 and $180, respectively, making them relatively affordable. However, it is a pity that it is still inconvenient to purchase Travelpro's products in China, so it is recommended to shop overseas or seek purchasing agents.
