These supplier-stated specifications apply to the particular models and colours below, not every case in the range. Dimensions are shown as height × width × depth. Before choosing luggage, check the full exterior measurements, including wheels and handles, and packed weight against your booking and the operating airline's current baggage rules. Measure expandable cases in the condition you will travel with them. A size label does not guarantee airline acceptance.
| Model | Dimensions (H × W × D) | Empty weight | Features to consider |
|---|---|---|---|
| K2397L 20-inch Black | 50 × 40 × 20cm | 2.58kg | Soft-shell case with a compartment for laptops up to 15.6 inches and accessible front pockets. Check your booked cabin allowance. |
| K2397L 24-inch Black | 70 × 43 × 25cm | 3.2kg | Expandable soft-shell checked-case option with front pockets. Expansion increases its size, not your baggage entitlement. |
| K2395L 28-inch Cream | 73 × 47 × 30cm | 3.81kg | ABS/polycarbonate checked case with approximately 91 litres of stated capacity and divided interior storage. |
| K2392L 20-inch Black | 55 × 37 × 22cm | 2.6kg | Polypropylene case with separated packing sections. Its 22cm depth exceeds a 20cm allowance; check your booking. |

Soft-Shell Suitcases
British Traveller K2397L 20-inch: laptop storage and organised packing
The supplier gives external dimensions of 50 × 40 × 20cm for the Black 20-inch K2397L, a stated empty weight of 2.58kg and approximately 40 litres of capacity. Internal dimensions may differ by approximately 1–2cm. Its dedicated compartment accommodates a laptop up to 15.6 inches, keeping it separate from clothing. Two front zipped pockets provide quick access to smaller essentials, while two internal accessory pockets give smaller items their own place.
Two adjustable buckle straps help hold clothing in place. The 600D polyester exterior has a leather-film finish, with a polyester-lined interior and YKK zips. The supplier also specifies a waterproof zipped pocket on the front, a useful separate storage feature without implying that the whole suitcase is waterproof.
The supplier describes the TPE wheels as whisper-quiet for smooth movement through terminals. The aluminium telescopic handle extends to an overall suitcase height of 106cm, while the top handle provides a lifting point. The TSA-compatible combination lock supports authorised screening access and secures the closure, without making the case theft-proof. For routine care, wipe clean only.
Neil's Pick — British Traveller 20-inch Soft-Shell Case in Black
One to consider if you want a laptop compartment and separate pockets for travel essentials. Its suitability for cabin travel depends on the full measurements and allowance on your booking.
British Traveller K2397L 24-inch: expandable space for a checked-bag trip
The supplier gives external dimensions of 70 × 43 × 25cm, a stated empty weight of 3.2kg and approximately 75 litres of capacity. Internal dimensions may differ by approximately 1–2cm. The expandable section unzips to provide extra storage space, giving you flexibility when you need to pack additional items. Measure the case in its expanded condition and weigh it after packing, as expansion does not increase your booked baggage allowance.
Two front zipped pockets keep smaller essentials accessible. The supplier specifies a waterproof zipped front pocket, a useful feature without implying that the entire suitcase is waterproof. Inside, a zipped mesh pocket and two elasticated slip pockets give accessories separate places, while two adjustable buckle straps help secure clothing on the other side.
The aluminium telescopic handle extends to an overall suitcase height of 106cm. Top and side handles provide different lifting points, and side foot studs help support placement of the case. The supplier describes the TPE wheels as whisper-quiet for movement through terminals.
The exterior combines 600D polyester with a leather-film finish, with a polyester lining and YKK zips. A TSA-compatible combination lock secures the closure and supports authorised screening access, without guaranteeing protection against theft or inspection damage. Care is wipe-clean only.

Hard-Shell Suitcases
British Traveller K2395L 28-inch Bumpy Diamond: packing space and practical handling
The K2395L combines ABS and polycarbonate with a diamond-shaped dimple exterior. The supplier describes the construction as lightweight and durable and says the textured design offers protection against scratches. For the 28-inch model, the supplied external dimensions are 47 × 73 × 30cm, with a stated empty weight of 3.81kg and approximately 91 litres of capacity. That gives you a large packing space to consider for a longer trip, while the case itself must still be included when weighing your checked bag.
The extendable aluminium trolley handle has adjustable heights, with an overall height of 102cm when extended. Soft handles on the top and side give you different lifting points when moving the case into a car or onto a luggage rack. Four 360-degree TPE wheels allow it to roll in different directions; the supplier describes them as silent, though actual noise and ease of movement depend on the surface and load.
Inside, the 210D polyester lining contains adjustable nylon straps and buckles to help hold clothing in place. A zipped section with a mesh pocket separates smaller items, making it easier to organise your packing rather than searching through the whole case.
YKK zips and an integrated three-dial TSA combination lock complete the closure. The supplier describes the zips as deterring puncture attempts. A TSA-compatible lock allows authorised screening access, but neither feature makes the case theft-proof or guarantees damage-free inspection. The exterior is wipe-clean only, making routine care straightforward.

British Traveller K2392L 20-inch Multi-Texture: structured packing and flexible handling
The K2392L 20-inch Multi-Texture case in Black has a polypropylene exterior, polyester lining and supplier-stated external dimensions of 55cm high × 37cm wide × 22cm deep. Its empty weight is 2.6kg, with approximately 36 litres of capacity. One to consider if you want a compact hard-shell case with separate packing sections. Its 22cm depth matters when comparing it with your booked cabin allowance; do not assume that a 20-inch label guarantees fit.
Four 360-degree swivel wheels let you manoeuvre the case in different directions, while the easy-grip aluminium telescopic handle offers multiple height settings. The supplier gives an overall extended height of 100.8cm. Top and side carry handles provide lifting points for transfers, and four plastic side feet support the case when resting it on its side.
Inside, nylon straps with a buckle help secure clothing on one side. The other side closes with a zip and has two small mesh zip pockets, giving accessories their own place so they are easier to find. YKK zips and a fixed three-dial TSA-compatible combination lock complete the closure. Wipe clean only; internal measurements may differ from external dimensions by approximately 1–2cm.

Vanity Cases
British Traveller K2395L 13-inch Cream: organised beauty storage with trolley attachment
The K2395L vanity case in Cream is one to consider if you want to keep skincare, makeup and smaller essentials together rather than loose among your clothing. The supplier gives external dimensions of 25cm high × 30cm wide × 17cm deep, an empty weight of 0.66kg and approximately 10 litres of capacity. Internal measurements may differ by approximately 1–2cm.
Its ABS and polycarbonate exterior is described by the supplier as lightweight and durable. The diamond-shaped dimple finish adds texture and offers supplier-described scratch protection, without making the case scratch-proof. A 210D polyester lining finishes the interior, and a YKK zip closes the main compartment.
An internal elasticated strap helps hold larger items such as skincare products and foundations in place. A zipped section on the opposite side separates brushes, lipsticks and other smaller essentials, making it easier to organise your routine and find what you need.
A comfortable top handle provides a carrying point, while the elastic strap on the back lets you attach the vanity case to a suitcase trolley handle so you can move the two together. Protective feet reduce direct contact between the base and surfaces when setting it down. Care is wipe-clean only.

Quality — What to Compare

Who Might Consider British Traveller?

- Families comparing individual cases with luggage sets.
- Travellers who prefer soft-shell luggage or a laptop compartment on selected models.
British Traveller vs KONO
