We are completely honest with you. It was not taken for granted that trolleys would regain their relevance at all in 2021 . But while last year, in the middle of the pandemic, travel seemed to be in the distant future, now is again a good time to pack your bags again, at least to a limited extent, and travel.
If you - just like us - want to start your next long-awaited vacation with a new model on wheels, you will find the 10 best hand luggage trolleys and suitcases that you can currently buy here. We have also tested three popular luggage brands (Rimowa, Montblanc and Horizn Studios) and compare them to explain which suitcase type is exactly right for you. Because the most important question is often: what material should my trolley be made of?
Trolleys in the test: are hard cases recommended?
When choosing a new piece of luggage (regardless of whether it is a large suitcase or a small business trolley ), you have an almost infinite selection to choose from. Not only in terms of size and design - but especially in terms of the material. Nylon, leather, aluminum, polycarbonate, canvas ... the choice is huge and every trolley has its advantages and disadvantages.

The most popular trolley, i.e. the one you will see most often at airports and train stations, is the classic hard casemade of particularly hard-wearing plastics or metal. The advantages here are very clear: this case protects your luggage particularly well, is mostly waterproof and very durable. The disadvantage, however, is the weight, because even plastics specially developed for luggage will never be as light as a trolley made of canvas or nylon. If you belong to the group of tourists who take half your wardrobe with you even for a long weekend and who are desperately trying to stow countless souvenirs on the return journey, we clearly recommend a trolley made of fabric. All others are well served with a high-quality hard case. Just which one?
Best trolleys in 2021? We tested three popular brands
The question of the best suitcase is not that easy to answer, even Stiftung Warentest will despair. Because buying a new trolley is like building a house. There is no one-size-fits-all solution - it's just a question of type. We have tested various suitcases from three of the currently most popular suitcase brands and here we show you in comparison which one will suit you best.
Modern classics from Rimowa: Everyone knows Rimowa suitcases and the iconic groove pattern is so popular that it is being imitated by many other brands. A Rimowa trolley is an investment in the future and is particularly suitable for frequent travelers and everyone with a particularly fashionable taste. New colors and collaborations with labels such as Dior regularly make the suitcases an absolute high-fashion piece.
Advanced basics from Horizn Studios: One of the newcomers to the trolley business, but Horizn Studios has a lot in store. Features such as an integrated power bank or particularly quiet wheels make the brand's suitcases and trolleys perfect, smart companions with a timeless look. Launches, such as the new suitcases made from 100% vegetable matter, show the direction Horizn Studios is headed. Our thumb goes up.
Luxurious essentials from Montblanc: jet-set feeling on four wheels. Montblanc not only regularly impresses us with its precious writing implements and leather accessories, but has also become a real insider tip for travelers in recent years. The trolleys promise the best quality, are visually impressive without exception and are primarily carried by those for whom the best is just enough. It's like packing the first-class upgrade when packing your suitcase. (Also interesting: Dior Men shows what pure luxury and style looks like on the beach )
