CHATELET AIR 2.0 2-Piece Luggage Set, Brown

I absolutely love the look of this line in brown. I love it so much that I replaced my large suitcase when I broke around a wheel. I felt like it broke quickly but wrote it off as an accident. Unfortunately, about 4 years later, the new one broke again in the same spot. I feel like the construction needs reevaluated. It’s used for air travel around 4-6 times a year. While air travel can be rough, I baby my suitcases other than flights. I have the matching medium, carry on, and soft bag. They haven’t had any issues but the large version has broken twice in the exact same spot. The closest authorized repair shop is around 5 hrs away.

For reference, my husband has a different brand. During this time, he has flown 20-30 times a year, usually 2-3 legs per flight. He does not baby his luggage. It’s still going strong. Unfortunately, I think at this point that it’s most prudent to switch to something else despite all my matching pieces. The thought of purchasing the same suitcase for the a third time at this price point doesn’t seem prudent.
