Delsey Chatelet Hardside Luggage Review – A Case With Style

With over 70 years of experience, this French brand knows how to make great suitcases. I am personally on my second set of Delsey’s and they easily rival top-end brands like Samsonite.

Where the Chatelet shines most is in its unique stylish design, top-end features, and attention to detail.

• Stylish white and brown exteriors with faux leather accents
• Polycarbonate hard case flexible and strong
• Luxurious interior lining with zippable closed sections on both sides (the only case I have seen this on)
• 4 sets of high-end silent Japanese Hinomoto spinner wheels
• Stop-and-go braking system to make rolling/stopping your case a cinch
• Built-in recessed TSA Code lock (no more lost keys or broken locks)
• Expandable case using zippered expander (in case you overpack)

So, instead of one side getting all messed up when you close the case, you can now travel with peace of mind knowing your clothes are secured and you won’t find a mess when you arrive and open your case.
