The 33L Valise Hard Carry Travel Suitcase comes in 4 colours: black, red, navy, and beige. I chose beige because it is really stunning in real life - the suitcase has a lovely sheen that makes the beige look almost like a beautiful brushed metal. We received the 33L carry on size to try and I am really excited to test it out on my next trip. I've wheeled the luggage around already as I walked home from the MUJI head office with it in tow and the wheels are very smooth. I'm a little concerned that the luggage does not expand (I always come home with more than I leave with), but we often pack a lightweight collapsible duffle bag in case of extreme shopping so I will be sure to bring that with us. :)
A couple of the features that I found most interesting about MUJI's line of luggage include (1) the ability to lock the wheels to prevent your luggage from moving around when you want it to remain stationary and (2) the built-in locking mechanism for the zipper tabs. I don't usually lock my luggage so the jury's still out on whether I will use the latter feature but I found it to be quite innovative.
I love being organized so I'm not sure why I've never used packing cubes. I was going to purchase some a little while ago so I was thrilled when MUJI surprised us by including a couple of packing cubes in our selection of goodies. We received the medium double layer case and the large case.
This eye mask is the only item I've tried thus far. It's a very soft cotton mask that fits me perfectly - it is not too loose and not too tight. I often sleep with a mask as there is quite a lot of light at night in downtown Toronto and we don't have blackout blinds/curtains. I like that this mask comes with a pouch so you can keep it relatively clean when you travel.
As some of you may know, I've been working through my beauty products and I'm starting to run very low on samples (yippee!). I used to "depot" my full size products into reuseable containers, but when I started my beauty box obsession, I amassed a plethora of travel size samples so I decluttered all my reuseable bottles as they were taking up space and not being used. Now that I'm transitioning back to using full size products, I have a feeling this MUJI travel set is going to come in very handy! I love the little round stackable containers - at the MUJI head office, they were used to store hair ties, and I plan to do the same. Also, I have a fascination with clear makeup bags so I'm excited to add this one to my collection.
These are the only 2 items I'm not sure I'll get a lot of use out of. One is a lint roller; however, I generally prefer lint brushes that use little stiff fibers to remove hair/lint/fur/dust, rather than a roll of sticky tape that needs to be refilled. The second item is a purse hanger, which I've seen used before and I do like the concept, but I've never found a need for it in my own personal experience. Interestingly enough, Alinea used a purse hanger for my super heavy Alexander Wang Rocco and DSLR combo, which almost gave me a heart attack, but surprisingly, it held. Back on topic: I will try using both, and if they don't suit my lifestyle, I will pass them on.
Last but certainly not least, I am very excited about this neck cushion! I like that it comes apart so you can mold it into different shapes and use it for your neck, head, or back. I also LOVE that the outer layer zips off so you can wash it. I've had multiple neck pillows in the pass and I always end up donating them because I don't like not being able to thoroughly wash them. This is the perfect solution and I can't wait to use it in the fall on my next trip.
