Rock Luggage Vintage Range Review

amomentwithfranca · 9 January 2021 · 93 Comments

I know we haven’t had many opportunities to travel last year and it is looking like it will be like that at least for the start of this new year but for now, thinking of all the places that I would love to visit when we are allowed to travel again, is making me happy. We were so lucky to be able to travel to Crete last year during the summer and I really hope we can go away this summer too. One of the things that I really needed on that trip and I didn’t have time to do was upgrading my luggage. I have had mine for a very long time and I really need a new set. So when Rock Luggage approached me to review their Vintage Luggage range, I was super excited to receive one.

Ad Gifted: I received a Rock Luggage Vintage Medium Suitcase for the purpose of this review

ABOUT ROCK LUGGAGE

Rock Luggage is a UK-based, family-run luggage brand. They have been manufacturers and distributors of luggage, bags and travel accessories for more than 40 years.

All Rock products come with a 15-year manufacturer’s warranty against manufacturing defects arising from faulty workmanship or materials.

ROCK LUGGAGE VINTAGE RANGE

I have been wanting to get hard luggage for a while. The girls have had hard shell suitcases for a few years and they are always much better protected than mine. I definitely prefer hard-shell suitcases to soft ones.

One of the main features of the Rock Luggage Vintage range is that it comes with a hard shell, so I was so happy to finally upgrade my old suitcase to a hard shell one. The Vintage range has been made for Modern Explorers. It has a trunk design that embodies a classic timeless look but it has a contemporary lightweight construction as well as strong and durable features.

The suitcases are made of an impact-resistant, hard shell ABS material. Tough, reinforced corners protect belongings from all the bashes and bumps of baggage handling.

FEATURES

8 Smooth Rolling Wheels

8 times easy glide double wheels for improved stability and handling. Effortless 360-degree rotating wheels make manoeuvring around an airport or train station fast and easy.

For me, this is one of the most important features. Nick has an old suitcase and the wheels don’t rotate 360 degrees and I can tell you how frustrating this is. Every time that I had to push his suitcase, I really felt the difference. Smooth and rotating wheels are key for a suitcase and make your travelling experience much easier.

Aluminium Telescopic Handle

Easily adjust the height of the suitcase using the push button on the telescopic handle. Made from strong and durable aluminium.

I love that the handle can be easily adjusted. It really frustrates me when your handle gets stuck in the middle of your journey. I found this incredibly annoying! It is so important that this feature works perfectly well. So I am really looking forward to trying this once we are able to travel again.

Integrated TSA combination lock

For your complete peace of mind, Vintage cases are fitted with an integrated TSA combination lock. Travel Sentry develops and licenses standards used in travel security, including a standard for luggage locks that can be legally opened by aviation security agencies.

I found this feature incredibly useful. I’m not sure about you, but I’ve had many incidents with my locks being missed and trying to desperately look for them everywhere with no luck. So having the lock incorporated into the luggage really helps with this situation. Now I don’t have to think about where I put the lock.

Fully Lined Interior

The interior of Vintage has luxurious soft touch lining and a mesh divider section. The design also features a convenient zipped inside pocket and elasticated packing straps to keep your clothes securely in place.

The interior is great. I love that you have a proper division that you can open with a zip. It makes it easier to separate your clothes and items. The pockets are very useful too.

ROCK LUGGAGE VINTAGE COLOURS

The Rock Luggage Vintage comes in different colours. I chose my beautiful Vintage suitcase in Cream. I love this colour so much. The colour is even better in person.

It also comes in three other colours: Black, Navy and Pink. If we do a complete family upgrade, I will go for the Pink set for the girls and Nick would probably choose Black or Navy. I think all the colours are lovely.

ROCK LUGGAGE VINTAGE PRICE & WHERE TO BUY

The Rock Luggage Vintage suitcase I received was of a Medium size (67 x 41 x 26 cm) but they also come in Large (78 x 47 x 30 cm) and Small (54 x 35 x 22.5 cm). This last one is the perfect Cabin size. I am thinking of getting the Cabin size too as I am really loving the Medium suitcase so far so it would be great to have them match.

The RRP for these suitcases are £204.99 Rock Luggage Vintage Large, £184.99 Rock Luggage Vintage Medium and £164.99 Rock Luggage Vintage Small but there is a lovely sale at the moment and you can get them for much less. You can buy them directly from their website or via Amazon.

MY THOUGHTS ON THE ROCK LUGGAGE VINTAGE RANGE

I am loving this suitcase. The vintage design looks so smart. The features are fantastic and the colour is gorgeous.

It is great that they have produced a timeless design for the modern world of travel. Everything works for me! I just need to properly test it when we are able to travel again… hopefully soon! Fingers crossed!

Do you own a Rock Luggage? What do you think of their Vintage range? What is the feature that you like the most? 

*Disclaimer: I received a Rock Luggage Vintage Medium Suitcase for the purpose of this review. All opinions and thoughts are my own. I was also offered the opportunity to giveaway the same Rock Luggage Vintage Medium Suitcase I received to one of my readers. Contain an affiliate link.

Thanks for stopping by,

Love you all ❤️

    I’ve not come across Rock before but it looks good, however it’s not what the luggage looks like when new that counts for me, it is what it looks like after five years of air travel that really counts. I some times wonder whether the luggage handlers at Heathrow take it as a personal challenge to better the most secure cases wrapped in cling film with meaty padlocks and whether it’s better to have old beat up case that presents no challenge.

✨ Cat Cafe In London✨.📍Bella and I went t ✨ Cat Cafe In London✨.📍Bella and I went to @javawhiskersuk , a cat cafe located in @westfieldlondon . This was my present for Mother’s Day from her🌸.🌟 Before we went inside, we had to go to a separate room to wash our hands and remove our shoes..🐾 They have 2 different rooms: the Cat Lounge and the Kitten Lounge and you can choose to stay from 55 mins to 1hr 55 mins. The prices vary depending on the room you choose and the length of time..🍰 When we stepped inside the room we were greeted by a group of gorgeous kittens. We ordered (before we went inside the room) a latte and a delicious chocolate muffin with chocolate melted inside that was so good. This was served to us in the room while we were surrounded by these adorable kittens..🐱 We spent 55 mins playing and petting the kittens. They were so cute. We loved interacting with them..🥰 Their cafe is also a foster home for homeless cats so if you are looking to adopt one, this is the place to visit! They have had 230 successful adoptions already! 🙌🏻.🚨 The only downside is that you have to be over 10 years old in order to be allowed inside the rooms 😬.🐈 If you are a cat lover like us, I highly recommend you visit Java Whiskers! It is the perfect place to unwind and relax with these beautiful kittens! 🙌🏻.Have you visited a Cat Cafe before? 🐈‍⬛ .#javawhiskers #catcafe #catcafelondon #londoncafe #westfieldlondon #londondayout #daysout #thingstodoinlondon #newplaces #londonguide #lovecats😻 #catsofinstagram #catloversday #londonthingstodo #whatsonlondon

We spent 55 mins arround gorgeous kittens. I had a great time! I am a cat lover so this was a fab present for me! I will talk more about this experience on another post but if you swipe left you can see a little peak of our time there! 🐈😉.Today, the girls and Nick took me for the actually Mother’s Day celebration 🎉 to @cafejackss in Queen’s Park where we had brunch. It was a yummy treat. Swipe left to check it out! 😋 .After that we went for a walk. There was a small market nearby so it was nice to have a little look around 😍. We then went back home and spent the rest of the day chilling which is something, I’m not going to lie, I love doing! 😉😂.How was your day?#mothersdayuk #mothersdayweekend #mothersday2023 #motherofdaughters #mumoftwo #mumofgirls #mydaughters #lovemydaughters #daughterslove #mummydaughtertime #daughtersarethebest #daughtersrock #spendingtimetogether #happyfamilytime #familytime💕
✨My Girls✨.Due to the strikes we had Sienna ✨My Girls✨.Due to the strikes we had Sienna at home yesterday and today, and Bella only today. I thought it would be very chaotic but despite it always being louder when the girls are at home, especially my youngest one, lol, we did well..Bella did school work at home today and had the afternoon free. Sienna didn’t do school work. We only asked her to carry on doing Spanish and Maths via Duolingo. She also had Spanish lessons this afternoon (every Thursday she has lessons) so both days were manageable thankfully 😍.How was it for you? Did your kids stay at home or did they go to school? .PS: let’s hope things get better for teachers. I fully support the strikes. .#sistertime #sisterlylove #sistersgoals #hermanas #sistersforever #sistersforlife #sisterslove #siblingslove #lovemydaughters #raisingdaughters #mydaughters #londonkids #WembleyPark #wembley #londondesigneroutlet

I am not sure why it hit me so much this time but it has taken me about two solid weeks to properly be back to my routine without feeling right. Waking up in the mornings was the worst. It was very hard, especially when I had to be on time for the school run! 😩.Anyway, everything feels better now! 😊.How long does it take you to be back to normal after a jetlag?
