Carlton Dune Case – product review
This case is impressive. It looks high-end and designery and indeed it is. Its sleek shiny grey form speaks of trips to New York or Mumbai …or even Glasgow. This case will never look battered and bruised, and apart from looking trendy it really is practical.
Carlton is a London company that has three elements that it considers when producing its ranges of luggage – Quality, Function, Design. Every piece of Carlton luggage is tested rigorously to ensure absolute quality. The Carlton Dune case has a five-year guarantee.
The interior has a grey lining with not only the expected elastic webbing but also a mesh compartment and zip pouch. It’s easy to keep clean clothes and grubby washing separate, and you won’t find the heavier items working their way to the bottom of the luggage as you glide around.
Carlton make their luggage lighter than most, more mobile, with the latest security locks, but for me it’s the wheels that sell the luggage. Its ‘TouchNGo’ 4-wheel system makes wheeling even the largest case smooth and easy. The design avoids that dragging and tipping of other cases – it’s simple to push along by one’s side.
