Cool, right?  My husband would love one of these bags; he is a total techie and a huge James Bond fan too! Made of 100% German polycarbonate, a nearly indestructible composite that is spy proof and even airline baggage crew proof   The coolest part of these polycarbonate luggage bags is the biometric technology that requires a fingerprint to lock or unlock these cases; and with up to an eight fingerprint memory, the whole family (or Nest) can have access too!

The Crown Edition by Heys USA Biometric Collection also includes: a USB cord and power adaptor to charge the Biolock system; a slim, modern, internal chromium telescopic handle system with cushioned TPR grip and push-button locking system for easy one hand use; an Air glide signature, touch sensitive wheel system;  a removable accordion interior which when removed quickly converts the luggage to an over-night bag; a removable airport security friendly notebook case for ease through checkpoints; a removable accessories pouch;  and finally an organizational panel compartment inside the case.  These extraordinary pieces of luggage / business cases have it all and are available in metallic blue and silver.

The best part about these carry-on luggage bags,  Heys USA is backing their Biometric luggage by a “Live Life Limited Lifetime Warranty” which is to provide “unrivaled protection and worry-free usage for an enhanced travel experience”!

Think about your own “tough love” moment and who helped shape your choices. Who was most important to you? For me, it was a coach in college. Now try to remember what you were wearing (even if it was a long time ago!) I was wearing a sweatshirt, blue jeans and sneakers.

Back to the future for a moment and as I catch up on the latest leather handbag news, I am quietly reminded of these times with Harvey’s Seatbeltbags rerelease of two popular handbag collections – Tough Love and Forever Blue Jean.

Harvey’s Tough Love tradition started back in 2005 as a Valentine’s Day Special Edition Seatbeltbag and each collection has been hot ever since! This year Harvey’s is mixing it up with Margot; a fresh collection of mixed sized woven fun and flirty toned Seatbelts in reds, pinks and purples. Margot is accented with Black retro acrylic handles and also comes with a detachable cross-body strap that clips to the exterior d-rings for multiple toting options. The 2012 edition of Tough Love, Margot Medium Tote Mix Weave Tough Love, includes the following seatbelt colors: Cotton Candy, Maroon, Espresso, Razzleberry, Violet, Rose, Scarlet, Ballet, Peony, Red and Black.

Now that we are into the New Year, Harvey’s has introduced their 4th collection of Forever Blue Jean Seatbeltbags. This time available in the Convertible Tote, Large Satchel and matching Clutch Wallet; Forever Blue Jeans is a fun mix of new and vintage blue Seatbelts woven with gray and silver tones! The collection is also lined with a special seamed denim design. Forever Blue Jeans also blends well with any Blue, Black or Storm colored Harvey’s Original Seatbeltbag accessories – a great gift set idea for any Harvey’s fan!

Whether this is your first Harvey’s purchase or you are a loyal follower, Harvey’s newest versions of Tough Love and Forever Blue Jean will entice you and make you wish for more (especially when Harvey’s Seatbelt Bags are on sale!) Are you tough enough? Shop with Irv’s Luggage and Clutch it up, before this round of Tough Love is gone forever!

Working closely with different leather products everyday – cross body leather bags and leather tote bags and leather computer bags (Oh My!) has shown me just how important a great leather bag can be to a consumer. For some it’s a connection to their youth, for others it’s about knowing they’ve made a real investment in a quality item. This impact is most evident during the holidays and the weeks that follow.

During the holidays, consumers searching for Leather goods are after two things: quality products and a great deal! (That is where a great Luggage Sale comes into play!) In the luggage business, consumers are always asking which items would best suit their needs, their wants and their budgets. We tend to ask a few different questions: what will the bag’s purpose be – business or pleasure – and what type of bag will ensure the best fit? Is the consumer looking for leather travel bags? Or are they looking for leather messenger bags? How often will the bag be used? And you can’t forget the consumer’s price point. There’s nothing worse than seeing a beautiful leather piece and realizing you cannot afford it.

Once the specifics are known, the choices can be narrowed down. Soft supple leather, quality hardware and durability are key points that any customer should be looking for in a leather product and you’ll find some of the best leather products from manufacturers like David King, LeDonne and Claire Chase Bags. Not only do they offer leather bags for men and women at great prices that we can pass along to you, the consumer, but they stand behind their products with guaranteed warranties as well. Now if you really want to know, I have my personal favorites – the David King Leather Extra Large Duffel Bag (6654) in black, the Le Donne Leather Messenger (A202) in café and the Claire Chase Leather Computer Bak-Pak (CCL 330E) in Red – they’re stylish, well-made and very roomy! But don’t take my word for it. Try any or all of them out, available at Irv’s Luggage now!

At home a few days later you start searching the internet for new luggage and realize just how many options there are compared to a few years ago. Do you need hard-side or soft-side luggage, 2-wheels or 4-wheels, plain colors or fun prints? The choices are overwhelming! Taking a step back, you realize you just want luggage that will fit all of your belongings and that will last.

While browsing the internet, you come across Hardside Luggage on www.IrvsLuggage.com and decide to check it out further. The first page shows some brands you know (Samsonite and Heys) and some brands you aren’t too familiar with (Titan and International Traveler); and you’re intrigued. You see that most hardside luggage pieces have a stiff molded construction – typically made out of polycarbonate, aluminum or ABS plastic – giving the luggage flexibility and strength, not to mention increased protection against airline damage (and we all know the havoc the airlines can wreak on a perfectly good suitcase!) They also come in several sizes for every need: business cases, carry-ons and checked pieces up to 33” in height.

That may sound pretty good, but you’re still not convinced. You start reading customer reviews of different hardside luggage brands. Customers speak of how their hardside luggage carry ons and luggage sets last longer and are damaged less often than any softsided piece they carried before. Consumers also love that their luggage expands, no differently than a softsided piece.

While these are great attributes, the design features are the best selling points. A TSA lock comes attached to most luggage pieces and the protection that is offered by the reinforced materials used (no squishing important documents or electronics) makes a huge difference when traveling.

In contrast, some consumers dislike the fact that hardsided pieces cannot be squished into small spaces. And even if you are extremely careful, the unexpected dent and scratch do happen. What some consumers are not always ready for is that hardside luggage is more expensive than softside luggage – and it may come as a shock at first! But even after debating the good and bad of hardside luggage, the pros far outweigh the cons.

The next time you’re in need of new luggage, why not check out some of the great hardside luggage brands we have at Irv’s Luggage. We’re sure you’ll find just what you need!
