Soft Shell Luggage

Soft shell suitcases are typically lighter than hard shell suitcases due to the flexible materials used in their construction, like the recycled polyester we use at Antler. These fabrics allow for a more lightweight design without sacrificing durability.

Soft shell suitcases offer flexibility, expandable compartments and extra capacity, making them ideal for jet-setters that don’t do ‘packing light’. However, they don’t necessarily fit more inside them than hard shell suitcases. Each of our suitcases comes with a handy guide with details on capacity and dimensions, so be sure to check that information before you buy.

Yes, you can absolutely take soft luggage on a plane, whether as carry-on or checked baggage, as long as it meets the airline's size and weight restrictions. Soft luggage is actually preferred for carry-on due to its flexibility and ability to fit into tight spaces in overhead compartments.

We would recommend a large suitcase if you want enough space for 23kg worth of belongings. This also depends on the size and weight of the items you’d like to pack. Our Lightest Large Suitcase measures 83 x 46.5 x 31cm and has an estimated capacity of 105l.
