Trunkster Reviews: The new breed of luggage manufacturer is the Trunkster. It may not have decades of experience, but that is exactly what distinguishes it. As a Kickstarter initiative, Trunkster started and, more recently, was shown on ABC’s Shark Tank. More than 3,500 donations of over $1 million to make this suitcase a possibility helped the initiative. That makes it the most crowdfunded campaign ever for travel. The industry is being taken by storm by Trunkster and other companies including Away and Raden.
I got a lot of oohs and ahhs from my mates when I first unboxed Trunkster. With two main things: style and technology, this suitcase is specifically targeting young travel-loving professionals.
According to (of course) Trunkster, the sliding front of the suitcase, which replaces the traditional zipper entry and marks “the first major update to the core industrial luggage design since wheels,” is eye catching and adds accessibility.
Although the price tag for a carry-on is huge, it’s simple to see what you get. Tech lovers will love this bag, both those who must have the new “smart” technology and those who can not survive without a fully charged cell, as long as they are light packers as well.
