The earliest suitcases may be dated back to the wooden suitcases of the 1920s, which may have been the best travel aids in the era of no airplanes.
However, the wooden box at that time was really inconvenient. Fortunately, most of the people who could travel far were nobles, and there were servants around to serve them. Otherwise, this large wooden box would have been enough to be carried all the way.
At the end of the Second World War, with the continuous progress of aircraft technology, a brand-new lightweight suitcase made of magnesium and propylene-butadiene-styrene polymer came out, which greatly facilitated people's travel.
And the real inventor of the world's first flat-top suitcase was Louis Vuitton. At that time, it designed a flat-top suitcase with the attitude of making luxury goods, using the best wood and waterproof materials, so it has a classic flat-top suitcase. The top poplar trunk has become the first choice of European aristocrats, and its word of mouth has spread throughout Europe.
At the beginning of the last century, there were some changes in the appearance of luggage, still with hardwood or steel as the frame, then wrapped with leather, rattan or rubber to form the body, then brass or leather to fix the corners, plus handles , forming a leather case or rattan box.
In the 1950s, a truly modern suitcase was born in the UK, but people were still only able to carry it with their hands. In China in the 1980s, if anyone had such a large suitcase at home, it was quite an extraordinary thing. It was considered a family. One of the symbols of good economic conditions.
Beginning at the end of the 1960s, the ABS briefcase specially designed for elites came out. The appearance is simple and elegant, and it is easy to use. In the 1970s, a suitcase with wheels opened the prelude to the era of great changes in suitcases, which was deeply loved by customers at that time and greatly reduced the burden on people on the road.
Interestingly, the trolley case and even the previous wheeled luggage are among the few inventions that have no regional time difference. Since the Industrial Revolution, many inventions have been born in developed countries in Europe and the United States, but they are often introduced into third world countries later.
But the trolley case is different. Its earliest users are flight attendants who fly all over the world, so it is easy to be seen and copied by different countries. As early as the 1980s, there were factories in Guangzhou making luggage with wheels. In the mid-1990s, Trolley suitcases can be seen everywhere in Chinese airports, and most urban families already have them.
As the core of the invention of the trolley case, the trolley rod was originally an external one. Because it is easy to damage, it has now been eliminated from the market. At present, the products you can see on the market are all built-in trolley rods. The aluminum alloy material is the best, light and strong.
Generally speaking, tie rods are set with double rods, and some manufacturers have produced single rod boxes for the sake of appearance. Although they are different and fashionable, they are not easy to use at all, especially they cannot maintain balance.
With the development of luggage technology, these luggage can no longer meet people's travel needs. More and more people in the world have begun to study how to break through traditional luggage and make more convenient and practical luggage.
