  • Wheels - rolling suitcases have become increasingly popular over the last decade. Although dating back to the 17th century in a sense when one of Hungarys princes or (Counts) Harakaly of Hungary wheeled his trunks through town and later wheeled a man who mocked him through the village dead.

Famous quotes containing the words luggage and/or features:

    “without luggage or defenses,
    giving up my car keys and my cash,
    keeping only a pack of Salem cigarettes
    the way a child holds on to a toy.
    I signed myself in where a stranger
    puts the inked-in X’s”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    ““It looks as if
    Some pallid thing had squashed its features flat
    And its eyes shut with overeagerness
    To see what people found so interesting
    In one another, and had gone to sleep
    Of its own stupid lack of understanding,
    Or broken its white neck of mushroom stuff
    Short off, and died against the windowpane.””
    —Robert Frost (1874–1963)
