the sky's the limit ...


it's hard to find carry on luggage that meets all your travel needs in one bag. particularly with business trips, often you need a garment bag as well to keep your suits from getting crushed. same deal with holiday travel - you want to carry a nice dress with you for parties you'll be attending but in a regular carry on bag it would be crushed beyond recognition.

we've found an ingenious innovation in carry on luggage for you!

the SkyRoll bag actually incorporates a regular rolling carry on bag with an attachable garment bag that wraps around the outside of the carry on. how unbelieveably cool is that?!?!



to pack, just unclip the garment bag and detach it from the carry on. pack everything you need in the roomy traditional carry on space EXCEPT your "crushables" - fragile garments or easily-wrinkled clothing. zip up the carry on.



save your cell phone, business cards, tickets, makeup kit and quart-sized liquids bag for the top compartment, which zips around the top near the handle for easy access.



pack your crushables neatly in the wrap-around garment bag, and lay it flat on the bed or floor.

place the carry on bag along the edge of the garment bag and re-attach the starter clips, then just roll the carry on bag along the garment bag until the garment bag is wrapped around the outside of the carry on. attach and secure the final clip and tighten it.

tada! two bags in one, and your liquids are still readily accessible for security checkpoints.

this bag is one of the absolute coolest inventions to hit travel in a long time. if you're on the road a lot, or if you just want options (you can use the carry on bag with or without the garment bag), the SkyRoll is the bag for you!
