![]() Maybe people don't yet know life can be so much easier with a LOJEL Cubo? =)Īs well, if I use a luggage rack, my Cubo sits stable on the rack, its door flipping up like a vintage chest. So I have not figured out why 50/50 clamshell suitcases still exist. I truly cannot go back to flipping a suitcase onto a bed or onto the ground, then having to splay it wide open, each time I need to access it. I’m not sure I would enjoy travel at all. Whereas, if I had to travel with a clamshell suitcase (a 50/50 opening with two wheels on each side) I would not enjoy travel and living as I do now. I can position my packing cubes just as they are, plus stack them, which lets me use them like drawers. LOJEL’s Cubo has provided an additional unique feature-one I cannot live without.Īnywhere I go (tiny rooms, train stations, airports), I can leave my Cubo standing fully upright on all four wheels, open it, and easily access everything inside. The interior of the sailboat never smelled like new luggage to me. My LOJEL never smelled like chemicals to me. To be sure, I brought my new LOJEL down below, inside the boat, and I closed all windows, hatches, and the companionway. But maybe that was because I was outdoors. No worries, I slowly and carefully unboxed my LOJEL on the dock, sniffing it each step of the way. The sailboat’s companionway (front door) was tiny. Its shipping box would not fit inside the boat. I was actually living on a sailboat when my first LOJEL arrived. Or I could buy the one brand of hard-sided luggage that apparently didn’t smell like chemicals-LOJEL luggage. I could buy hard-sided luggage that smelled like chemicals. Founded in Japan, it’s based in Hong Kong and Canada.īack then, while reading LOJEL luggage reviews, others seemed to be confirming what I was looking for-their hard-sided LOJEL luggage did not smell like chemicals to them.Īfter additional research, it appeared I had two choices. That’s when I stumbled upon LOJEL luggage. I was searching for any luggage that did not smell like chemicals. So I then began researching luggage brands online, known and unknown, worldwide. But I assumed wrong.Īll the luggage I found on display smelled like chemicals. I assumed the luggage on display would not smell like chemicals because luggage on display has typically aired out for a while, off-gassed, outside of boxes. ![]() I discreetly sniffed all the luggage on display-their insides, outsides, straps, zippers, handles, and wheels. So I traveled to as many luggage stores and luggage departments as possible. Even if I wasn’t traveling.Įssentially, I began contemplating hard-sided luggage for the structure it could provide, because I wanted luggage that could operate as more than just luggage.īut, first and foremost, I needed luggage that didn’t smell like chemicals. I also wanted luggage that could keep my minimalist life easily organized and readily accessible at all times, no matter where I was located or what I was doing. No longer owning a house or an auto, traveling slowly (long-term), more exposed to the world, I needed luggage that could better protect my things from weather, transport, and theft. choosing a luggage set (2-3 pieces) saves up to $100 USD. ![]()
