His craftsmanship didn't go unnoticed, and in 1989 the luggage brand was born. Frustrated by the one-size-fits all model in the luggage industry, he decided to fix the problem himself, racking up 43 passport stamps in 180 days to test his prototype: a hard-shelled roller bag with re-engineered zippers, handles, and internal stabilizers to find the ideal weight-to-durability ratio. At 21-years-old Chih Chang Chiang was busy making leather bags with a simple sewing machine and selling them at local markets in Japan. This suitcase's journey is one man's quest to create the perfect travel bags. And we agree.) But LOJEL has a distinct, feel-good edge: a promise that you'll never have to toss your suitcase again. Not another trendy luggage company that claims to be different but is exactly like every other millennial-targeting, full-of-hot-air "disruptor" out there. Shouldn't there be a better travel solution somewhere in the universe? Universal travel logic for a universal travel problem. We all have one: a dusty, scratched, dented suitcase with one wheel falling off that we continue to drag through countless airport terminals because (a) we don't want to pay for a new one, (b) we don't want to add yet another could-be-mended product to landfill, even though (c) it's such a hassle to find a suitcase repair, especially considering that (d) the bag will just get thrown onto a conveyer belt by rough baggage handlers anyway, and (e) we'd rather spend our money on travel souvenirs or a flight upgrade. Particularly so for my baby’s accessories as they are so small and everything gets lost unless it’s compartmentalized.LOJEL's Cubo Small. The front-top opening means the depth is obvious and you can simply fill as much as you like and secure your belongings with a strap so they don’t start rolling around the place. What I love most about packing our Lojel luggage, is at I can see exactly how much room we have to work with (and how much I need to leave to justify all the shopping I aspire to do while we are on the road). So, when your luggage is easy to pack, the pain eases slightly (as does packing with a good glass of red in hand). I haven’t met one soul yet who plans for a trip and says “I can’t wait to start washing, folding, rolling, and editing my suitcase”.
The thing I believe we all share is that, well, no one really enjoys packing. I think they offer insight into someone’s character.

I throw the suitcase on my lap and prop the laptop on top – et voila, instant desk, no back pain. The cabin bag is the perfect size to use as a makeshift travel desk too. We also managed to squeeze in our camera shoulder bag so we had one less bag to carry on board. I quickly reminded him the cabin case was mine but I would throw his laptop in with mine if he liked (they both fit comfortably). The front-opening pocket that you can unzip to easily slip your laptop in and out of. You can’t miss the key feature which we both immediately fell for. My husband’s eyes lit up too when we unpacked the Lojel Cubo carry-on. We have been using the typical clam-shell opening cases for years and the thought that we could actually fit all of our cases open in a hotel room or even prop it on the often redundant and dusty luggage stand was very appealing. It is actually what caught my eye when trolling through the aisles of a luggage store, overwhelmed by choice. The front-top opening alone is enough to woo me when it comes to Lojel Cubo.
