Its main claim to fame is probably its uniquely designed pull handle which prominently moves the "canes" of the pull handle to the outside edges of the bag which eliminates the long central "bump" that normally interrupts the internal main capacity of other pull-type luggages. Additionally, it features a relatively unusual combination of fashionable good looks with a superbly easy to pack duffle style opening, multiple carry options and unusually for a duffle, dual wheels for easy rolling.
On the other hand, its main claim to infamy is probably its eye-watering price tag of $2,950 USD +tax which makes this bag hard to recommend for anyone who enjoys making wise fiscal decisions and/or has an aversion to purchasing bags that are potentially worth more than their contents. Additionally, while the pull handle is one of the most amazing that I've ever laid hands on, the duffle style carry handles of this bag suffer from some frustrating usability issues in practice which is disappointing at this price point.
Nonetheless, I thought this bag was a fun and unusual combination of features and structures not normally seen in a single bag and the amazing feeling and innovative external-cane design of the pull handle makes for a very interesting collection piece that represents a quite different design solution to a fairly common type of bag (airport-use carry on luggage).
