A 4-piece hard-shell luggage set can make weekend getaways, family holidays and business trips much simpler. But a complete set isn't always as practical as it seems. A cabin suitcase that's too wide could be refused at the gate, wheels that aren't manoeuvrable enough quickly become a nuisance, and a lightweight shell may lack durability if its design is lacking.
Before comparing a KONO luggage set or any other 4-piece baggage collection, take the time to check the actual dimensions, the empty weight and the storage solutions on offer. Here are the criteria to examine so you can avoid any nasty surprises.
The dimensions given usually refer to the external measurements and can include the wheels and the telescopic handle. The usable space inside is therefore slightly smaller. A 20-inch suitcase presented as cabin baggage could even exceed an airline's limits once the wheels and handles are taken into account.
When flying, always check the rules of the airline you're travelling with. The permitted dimensions vary depending on your ticket, your route and the carrier. A 20-inch cabin suitcase may be suitable for many airlines, but this indication is no substitute for checking the conditions that apply to your specific booking.
Lightweight ABS suitcases are easier to move around and leave you more room for your belongings. However, weight shouldn't be your only consideration. Also look at the rigidity of the shell, the quality of the zips, the design of the handles and the protection of the corners.
ABS is very common in the world of hard-shell luggage. This material makes it possible to create a lightweight shell that can absorb some of the knocks that come with travel. That said, it won't protect your suitcases against every scratch or bump. A suitable cover and sensible packing are still good precautions.
Basic wheels can quickly make moving around stations, hotel corridors or cobbled streets a hassle. Choose a suitcase with 360° wheels, which glides in every direction and is particularly handy in queues or tight spaces.
A TSA lock also proves useful during international travel. Authorised security staff can open the bag using a master key, without having to force the lock. That said, it's not an absolute anti-theft solution: set your own personal code and don't place valuables in a checked bag.
A well-designed set should cover several uses:
For the KONO model shown here, the stated volumes are approximately 40 litres for the 20-inch suitcase, 65 litres for the 24-inch and 100 litres for the 28-inch. The beauty case offers around 11 litres. These figures are indicative and may vary depending on the measurement method used.
The weight of each item directly reduces how much you can take with you, especially by air. For the blue model, the data provided indicates 2.62 kg for the cabin suitcase, 3.18 kg for the medium suitcase, 4 kg for the large suitcase and 0.72 kg for the beauty case.
Before you start packing, add the empty weight of each suitcase to the weight of its contents. The limits for both cabin and checked baggage are set by each airline.
Adjustable cross straps, a zipped divider and a mesh pocket help keep your clothes in place. Thanks to its rear strap, a beauty case can also be attached to the telescopic handle of the suitcase, freeing up a hand when you're on the move.
Nesting suitcases are a real advantage in smaller homes. The different sizes can be stored inside one another when not in use. Before storing them, though, make sure they're completely empty and dry. Also avoid leaving them in direct sunlight for long periods to reduce the risk of discolouration.
Why this choice suits this profile: The four pieces cover the needs of a couple or small family, from short breaks to longer holidays. The contrasting colour also makes the suitcase easier to spot on the carousel.
The different sizes mean you don't have to take the large suitcase for every trip. The nesting design also saves space at home.
A four-piece set with an ABS hard shell and a beauty case that attaches to the wheeled suitcase.
Why this choice suits this profile: Its understated colour works just as well for business trips as it does for international travel, where style and organisation matter as much as capacity.
The separate compartments and internal straps help keep clothes and accessories organised. The multi-directional wheels make changing direction effortless.
TSA combination lock, three-position telescopic handle and four multi-directional wheels.
Why this choice suits this profile: The different volumes let you choose the right bag for the length of your stay. The large suitcase is ideal for longer trips, while the cabin size remains handy for short journeys.
Choosing the right size prevents you from overloading a single suitcase. The zipped internal compartment and cross straps help keep the contents stable during transit.

Yes, provided you choose the right size. The cabin suitcase must comply with the dimensions and weight allowed by the airline. The 24 and 28-inch sizes are generally intended to be checked in. Check the conditions of your ticket before you travel.
The relevant models are usually pre-set to '000'. To change the code, hold down the reset button with the tip of a pen or a thin object, choose your combination, then release the button. Test the new code before closing the suitcase for good.
Distribute the weight evenly without straining the zips, avoid pulling the suitcase on two wheels when it's designed to be moved on four, and clean the shell with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Don't use any abrasive products. Before storing your holiday suitcases, let them dry completely and place small accessories in the vanity case to avoid losing them.
