Levi's Brushed Silver FORTE Cabin case on a hotel luggage rack
Verified on Trustpilot
Put Through Its Paces

“The case has been with me on several trips including Krakow, Porto, Faro, and London… I’ve flown with both easyJet and Ryanair, and I haven’t once been asked to check the size or had any concerns at the gate.”

“Despite its compact cabin size, it comfortably holds enough for a 4–5 day trip… after multiple trips the case still looks great and performs exactly as you’d want from a premium cabin suitcase.”

It Looks The Absolute Business

“This is a quality item at a very decent price. Absolutely delighted with mine! Got the cabin bag in gun metal and it looks the absolute business.”

Steven John StillCabin, Gunmetal Grey
Replaced My Rimowa

“I work in the travel industry and bought this case to replace my Rimowa which I’ve had for years and is on its last legs. At a fraction of the price I have found this to be just as good if not better and it looks even more stylish.”

Andrew SpeedCabin, Gunmetal Grey
Straight Out Of A Bond Film

“So coming from an engineering background… I cannot recommend this travel case enough… It is durable. It is well thought out… (ps it looks like you’ve just walked out of a James Bond scene at the airport)”

Matthew, WelderTrustpilot review
Silky-Smooth Wheels

“Top quality case. Lightweight, stylish and practical. Reasonable price for build quality. Silky-smooth wheels and strong locks.”

Darren Lee WillbourneVerified on Trustpilot
Scuffs Only Add To It

“…having also noted that the wheels, obviously a potential weak spot, are now replaceable. I am delighted! … Having now flown with the set, as expected they have gained a few scuff marks but these only add to their overall appeal!”

Simon RogersBrushed Silver set
Exceeded My Expectations

“As a frequent traveller, I’ve used many well-known luggage brands and consider myself quite discerning when it comes to quality… Stylish, sturdy, and practical—Forte has exceeded my expectations.”

John KeaneCheck-In, Gunmetal Grey
The Difference Was Dramatic

“The carry-on suitcase I purchased also massively surpassed any expectations I had. Absolutely exceptional quality! I purchased a suitcase from a different company online and the difference in quality was dramatic.”

Carefully Considered

“Not only do they look attractive but they’re also very well designed and practical, with plenty of space and a carefully considered layout inside.”

Questions

Will it fit in the airline cabin?
The Cabin measures 55 × 36 × 20cm, within the hand luggage limits of most major airlines, including British Airways and easyJet (56 × 45 × 25cm) and Ryanair's larger cabin bag allowance (55 × 40 × 20cm). What makes FORTE different: the wheels come off at the gate in seconds, with no tools, so if a sizer or an overhead locker is tight you can shorten the case on the spot. Limits vary and change, so always check with your airline before you fly.
Will aluminium scratch?
Yes, and it is meant to. Aluminium marks where plastic cracks. The shell keeps its shape and picks up a record of where it has been. Every case comes with a free scratch protection cover.
What does the warranty cover?
The aluminium-magnesium frame, for as long as you own the case. Wheels, handles and locks are wear parts, designed to be replaced. It is registered to you automatically at checkout.
How do I replace a wheel?
Release it, slot the new one in, done. It takes under 5 seconds per wheel and no tools. Handles are replaceable too, with a Phillips screwdriver.
Are the locks TSA?
Yes. Two integrated TSA combination locks, one at each end, set by you. They are built into the frame rather than added on, so there is nothing to snap off.
