Specification
Shell
100% virgin polycarbonate
Recycled resin is cheaper and goes brittle in a cold hold. This does not.
Wheels
Four 60 mm sealed-bearing spinners
Each wheel unbolts with a Phillips head, and we sell the wheels.
Handle
Three-stage aluminium
Stops at 38, 42 and 46 inches, so it suits more than one height of person.
Lock
Integrated TSA-approved combination
Screeners can open and relock it without cutting anything.
Dimensions are external and include hardware. Capacity is the manufacturer’s measured volume, not a nominal figure. If a measurement here does not match the item you receive, that is a fault and we will take it back — see the returns policy.
About this piece
The Meridian Cabin 38 measures 21.5 × 14 × 9 inches including wheels and handle, which clears the published carry-on allowance on the major US carriers at the time of writing. Airlines change allowances; check yours before you fly.
The shell is virgin polycarbonate rather than the recycled blend most cases at this price use. It costs us more and it does not go brittle in a cold hold. Four 60 mm sealed-bearing spinners take a Phillips screwdriver to remove, and we stock replacements, because a dead wheel is why most luggage gets thrown away.
Inside it is a 60/40 split with a compression panel on the deep side and a zip mesh lid on the shallow side. 38 litres is four to five days packed normally, or a week with cubes.
What it holds
- Four to five days of clothing
- A 16-inch laptop laid flat against the compression panel
- A full 38 L packing-cube set
Care & repair
- 1Wipe the shell with a damp cloth; scuffs polish out with a plastic-safe cream.
- 2Keep the wheel housings clear of grit — it is what kills bearings.
- 3Replacement wheels, handles and feet are stocked. Email us with the code on the base.
Stitching and hardware are covered for 10 years from delivery against failure in normal use. Wear, patina, darkening and surface marks are not faults and are not covered — they are what the material does. Repairs outside the warranty are quoted before any work starts.

“Stiff out of the box and I nearly sent it back in week one. Two months in it has softened exactly the way they said it would.”
“Eighteen months of five days a week and the only thing that has changed is the colour. The hardware still runs like it did in week one.”
“Emailed about a strap and had a replacement in four days, no argument, no receipt hunt. That is the reason I bought a second piece.”
