This suitcase will change your life!

When traveling by plane, you generally hesitate between hand luggage that you can take with you in the cabin, and a suitcase to put in the hold. For financial reasons, the minimum often wins out. But the problem arises especially during the return, when you certainly have more personal belongings than on the way out. You're probably thinking "What if only I could expand my luggage!" Well now you can!

Two suitcases in one

Young Israelis worked on an original and innovative project for almost a year. The result:two-in-one suitcases. It is a hand luggage that turns into a large suitcase, or vice versa. And this new object is so practical, that it can even act as a side table when you are waiting at the airport or in a waiting room before a business meeting. This novelty called "FUGU Luggage" therefore has adjustable dimensions and you can even unfold shelves to store your clothes without having to go through the ironing box on your return. Revolutionary storage optimization. The sides fold up easily and despite this flexibility, the materials used are rigid and solid, so your belongings will not be crushed.

Crowdfunded

Like many new projects, Fugu Luggage suitcases are funded by the general public. The young creators launched a fundraising campaign on Kickstarter at the beginning of November to make their project a reality. The expected sum was $50,000 (nearly 40,000 euros) and in less than 30 days, the company has already collected more than double that amount. You can pre-order your new luggage, in the color of your choice, with a significant discount if you participate in the fundraiser. Delivery is done all over the world. But there is a small problem:payment must be made when ordering but delivery is only scheduled for the months of August and September 2015.

Despite everything, success already seems to be there for this original and very practical idea. To discover it more concretely, here is the video presentation. Pretty cool concept, no?
