Choosing the Right Suitcase Size for Every Trip
Travelling with the right luggage is essential for setting off with peace of mind. Lipault offers soft and lightweight suitcases in a variety of sizes to suit every type of stay.
The Different Suitcase Sizes and Their Uses
Mini Cabin Size
Compact and cleverly designed, the mini cabin suitcase fits under an aircraft seat. It’s perfect for avoiding additional cabin baggage fees. Ideal for a short trip or an express business journey.
It also features a smart system: it folds away into its cover so you can store it even in the smallest corners of your home.
Cabin Size (55 cm)
Perfect for short breaks or trips by train or plane with hand luggage only. It’s ideal for weekends away or business travel. Compact and convenient, it fits easily into the overhead compartment on a plane or under the seat on trains.
Another advantage: the 55 cm cabin suitcase is sometimes included in traditional airline tickets (Air France, Lufthansa, British Airways, Iberia…), helping you avoid extra charges. It also saves you time at the airport by skipping baggage claim after landing.
Long-Stay Size (around 70 cm)
Designed for longer trips or holidays that require more belongings. The long-stay suitcase is perfect for globetrotters or extended holidays of around two weeks.
Extra-Long-Stay Size (around 79 cm)
Tailored for family trips or long-term stays, this suitcase is ideal for a year abroad, moving overseas or holidays lasting several weeks.
Its unique format includes foldable shelves that unfold into a real portable wardrobe.
No more packing headaches: you can organise your belongings without unpacking everything at each stop, even in small guest rooms where space is limited. This innovation offers comfort and practicality, letting you feel at home wherever you go.
Why Choose a Soft-Sided Suitcase?
Soft suitcases offer several advantages:
Lightweight: easier to carry and handle.
Flexible: they fit better into tight spaces (car boots, compartments).
Expandable capacity: the fabric is more adaptable than hard-shell materials.
Practical Complements to Your Suitcase
A suitcase is essential for carrying your belongings, but a few additional items can make your travels even smoother and more comfortable. Here are the must‑have companions for smart travel:
Travel Backpack
Ideal for short stays, city breaks or trips where you need your essentials within easy reach. Lightweight and ergonomic, it pairs perfectly with your suitcase for carrying documents, your laptop or personal items.
Crossbody Bag
Crossbody bags are practical for light travel or as a suitcase complement. They keep your valuables secure while leaving your hands free. Very useful for sightseeing or shopping days when you need to carry keys, your smartphone and cards.
24‑Hour Bag
The 24‑hour bag is the perfect solution for an express trip or an unexpected overnight stay. Compact yet spacious, it holds your essentials without being bulky. It pairs beautifully with a cabin suitcase for a practical, stylish duo. You can also slide it onto your suitcase’s telescopic handle thanks to the back strap — no more carrying or juggling bags.
