Grade: D
Durability: An initial round of tosses and stomps caused a small hole in the nylon, plus part of the frame poked out.
Functionality: This suitcase has a clever shoe bag and a slim front pocket that's great for magazines and sundries.
Favorite Feature: The leather handles are a luxurious touch.
Warranty: Two years for zippers, fabrics and binding; everything else is covered for as long as you own the product.
Bottom Line: This pricey bag isn't in the same league as our top pick. And the two-year warranty doesn't inspire confidence.
