What will I choose, suitcase or trendy bag? It depends on how long I'll be out. If I'll be out for a long time, I need to bring many things with me, clothes, books, notebook, even shoes, etc. So, I will choose a suitcase or several suitcases when I'll be out for a long time. On the other way, if I just need one day or two days, I must choose a spoty bag, because it's smaller and more convenient to carry, and just like you said, it looks trendy:) So my choice depends on how long I'll stay outside.

I am very keen on travelling. Over the years I have tried lots of different types of luggage. Soft bags can be quite light weight. They are also fairly comfortable to carry. They are good for short trips, either weekends away or up to one week somewhere. Suitcases tend to be large and heavy. I think they are uncomfortable to carry. If someone has common looking suitcase it can be confusing for them at airports. When the luggage goes round they have to look very carefully indeed. I once had a suitcase on wheeels. It was great until on of the wheels fell off. My favourite type of luggage is a backpack. I have a large one to wear on my back and a small day pack that I can carry or even wear on my front if I need to. These leave my hands free and this is useful when paying bus fares or looking at maps.
