Monocle have an article on Rimowa. Interestingly, they say:
Rimowa recently rolled out a programme with a series of five-star hotels ranging from the Grand Hyatt in Shanghai to the Sacher in Vienna, whereby guests can hand in their damaged Rimowa suitcase at the reception, and it will be returned to them repaired within 24 hours.

Dear Luggage Experts @ SQTalk,
Reading the whole thread, I get the impression that the discussion is about high end luggage. But, hope for getting the answer of my curiousity. Am I right to say that Samsonite and Delsey has similar quality? Anyone knows about Heys luggage?
Thank you

I'm currently using another Delsey which I've owned since 2006. I use it for weekend trips and also to lug my stuff around when I move between accommodation every week. Still working fine despite the abuse.
I think Delseys and Samsonites are similar in quality. JMHO.
I have not heard about Heys. Which one are you considering?

I have an old Delsey hard suitcase and not that old Samsonite roller too:

but will probably pick up some check-in luggage. My Delsey suitcase is starting to show signs of wear after 20+ years (with admittedly only heavier use in the last year or so).
Both seem respectable brands to me and I'd buy them again. I don't quite understand the hype about Tummies but I've never owned one...Last edited by jhm; 9 October 2009, 06:37 AM.

It is a lot hardier than the Lowepro rucksack (made specifically for cameras and laptops ) which I bought later. The Tumi is still looking newish despite being overloaded and used so frequently. The straps of the Lowepro started tearing just after one use!

PS. All the branches of Global Luggage around London seem to be having a bit of a B&R sale. Seemed to be roughly 25% off, which makes the prices quite attractive.
Shame I can't do the full gear 20-mile jog in the army with a B&R rollaway. I bet it will be so much more comfortable
