Hauptstadtkoffer Luggage Review: Best Bags For Travel

Hauptstadtkoffer Spree Luggage

The Spree luggage collection features three hardside suitcases. They are made from ABS plastic with a matte finish that gives them a sleek and simple look. This luggage has corner reinforcements for improved durability, as well as a textured shell that minimizes the appearance of scuffs and scratches.

This luggage features double spinner wheels, a telescopic wheel handle, TSA-friendly locks, and expandable capacity. The wheel handle is made from anodized aluminum so it’s lightweight and sturdy. It locks into extended and stored positions and it’s not possible to adjust the height. The suitcase also has convenient top and side grab handles.

The two packing compartments are both lined with elastic cross straps on one side and a full panel divider on the other. There’s also a zippered pocket on the divider for easy organization.

ABS plastic is an affordable material and the Spree luggage is fairly inexpensive. However, it’s not the most durable luggage material, so I wouldn’t really recommend getting one of the bigger suitcases – at least not for air travel. The carry-on is the best luggage in the Spree collection, which is why I listed its specs below.

Hauptstadtkoffer Xberg Luggage

The Xberg luggage collection from Hauptstadtkoffer features three suitcases and one luggage set. The carry-on suitcase is unique because it has an external zippered compartment that you don’t get on the bigger suitcases.

The external compartment is great if you like having certain items easily accessible and it makes it easier to stay organized. It’s not a lockable compartment though, so keep that in mind if you decide to store valuable items inside it.

This luggage collection is made from a mixture of ABS and Polycarbonate. ABS plastic is very resistant to scuffs and scratches, while PC has excellent impact and shock resistance. But there aren’t any reinforced corners on this luggage, so they’re not exactly indestructible. They’re tougher than plain ABS luggage, but still not as tough as pure PC suitcases.

These suitcases are durable, lightweight, and easy to maneuver thanks to the double spinner wheels. They also feature a telescopic wheel handle that locks into three different positions, as well as a convenient grab handle on the top. The larger two suitcases have an extra grab handle on the side.

Additionally, all Xberg luggage features TSA-friendly locks and double packing compartments. One packing compartment has cross straps while the other one features a full-panel divider with a zippered pocket. The bigger suitcases also have expandable capacity.

Hauptstadtkoffer Alex Luggage

The Alex luggage is very similar to the Spree luggage but it has more features. The shell is made from a mixture of polycarbonate and ABS plastic and it has a shiny finish. It’s not textured, so scuffs and scratches will be visible. The suitcase has reinforced corners for improved durability and shock resistance.

The best thing about this carry-on suitcase is the hidden laptop compartment. It’s sewn into the expansion zipper and it can fit laptops (and tablets) that are up to 15”. Your electronics will be easily accessible, and that hidden compartment doesn’t take away from the capacity of the suitcase.

The Alex suitcase has two lined packing compartments with expandable capacity. One compartment has elastic cross straps, while the other one features an adjustable divider with two zippered pockets. This is one of the best carry-ons from Hauptstadtkoffer in terms of organizational features.

This luggage also features rubberized double spinner wheels that are smooth and silent, top and side grab handles, a TSA-friendly lock, and a telescopic wheel handle. It’s a well-rounded carry-on with all the features you need for convenient travel, and it’s easily one of the top options from the brand.

Hauptstadtkoffer Mitte Luggage

The Mitte luggage is a collection of ABS plastic suitcases with expandable capacity. They have textured shells that minimize the appearance of scuffs and scratches, but unfortunately no corner reinforcements. Also, the design of the shell looks a lot like the design of the American Tourister Curio suitcase.

This luggage features rubberized double spinner wheels and a three-stage telescopic wheel handle for easy maneuverability. There are also low-profile grab handles on the top and side, so it’s easy to pick up the case. The cases also feature TSA-friendly combination locks for safe travels.

The Mitte suitcase has expandable capacity, allowing you to pack up to 20% more items inside the suitcase. It has two packing compartments that are both fully lined and feature full-panel zippered dividers. One of the compartments also has zippered pockets for easy organization. Also, the material inside the suitcase is tear-resistant polyester, which is very easy to clean.

It’s worth noting that the Mitte luggage is available in three different sizes and you can get a set of all three suitcases. All the suitcases have identical features and they only differ in size and capacity.

Hauptstadtkoffer Wannsee Luggage

The Wannsee luggage collection features two suitcases that are made from ABS plastic. They’re not the most durable luggage from the brand, but they are sleek and stylish. And they resemble Delsey suitcases, with the colors of the shell and its accents.

The shell is textured for better scratch resistance, but there aren’t any corner guards to improve the overall impact and shock resistance of the luggage. This case also features double spinner wheels, a telescopic wheel handle, and convenient grab handles on the top and side. There’s a TSA-friendly combination lock to secure the main compartment so that no one but you and TSA agents can open up your suitcase.

It’s worth noting that the wheel handle locks into three height positions, so it should be easy to adjust it for a great fit. The ergonomic grip feels great in your hand, allowing you to effortlessly move around with your luggage.

The suitcase has two packing compartments and they are both fully lined. One compartment features tie-down compression straps, while the other one has a full-panel divider with two zippered pockets. The capacity of these suitcases is not expandable at all, so they’re not ideal for people who enjoy shopping on their trips.

Hauptstadtkoffer X-Kölln Luggage

The X-Kölln is an interesting suitcase. It’s made from ABS plastic, but the shell features a unique design with great scratch and impact resistance. This suitcase is very lightweight at only 6.6 lbs, which is impressive considering its capacity expands up to 50 liters.

The luggage features smooth and silent double spinner wheels, low-profile top and side grab handles, and a lockable telescopic handle with ergonomic grip. The wheel handle is height adjustable and it can be locked into three different positions. There’s also a TSA-friendly lock to keep your belongings safe.

This suitcase has two fully-lined packing compartments. One of the compartments has tie-down cross straps while the other one features a full panel zippered divider with two separate pockets. If staying organized is important to you, this is one of the best carry-on suitcases you can get from Hauptstadtkoffer.

It’s worth noting that this carry-on is slightly bigger than other options from the brand. It’s wider and deeper, so it might not pass as a carry-on if you leave it expanded. You shouldn’t have any trouble bringing this inside the cabin if the expansion zipper is closed – the dimensions of the case (with wheels and handles) follow IATA’s size guidelines.

Hauptstadtkoffer Wedding Luggage

The Wedding luggage collection features minimalist suitcases made from ABS plastic. The textured shell surface offers great scratch resistance, while the construction of the shell is strong enough to withstand almost anything. But it’s still not as impact-resistant as polycarbonate, so keep that in mind.

These suitcases feature double spinner wheels, a telescopic wheel handle with ergonomic grip, low-profile grab handles, and a TSA-friendly combination lock. The wheel handle locks into multiple height positions, allowing you to adjust the luggage until you’re able to maneuver it with ease.

The Wedding suitcases feature two fully lined packing compartments. There are tie-down straps in one compartment and a full panel zippered divider in the other with a spacious mesh pocket. But that’s the only pocket in this luggage.

Additionally, the capacity of the Wedding luggage is not expandable. That’s a good thing if you want to be sure you won’t overpack your bags, but it can be a downside if you prefer having the option of putting extra stuff in the suitcase.

Last but not least, it’s worth noting that this luggage collection is available in a wide variety of fun colors. If you like luggage that stands out, a Wedding suitcase from Hauptstadtkoffer could be a great option for you!
