Antler Icon Stripe Dual Opening Cabin Suitcase - 55cm

The Icon Stripe Dual Opening Cabin introduces a flexible front-access design to our best-selling Icon suitcase. Perfectly sized for city breaks and weekend escapes, the Icon Stripe Dual Opening Cabin makes it easier to pack, reach, and repack wherever you are.

Designed for moments when space is limited, it combines the familiarity of a traditional clamshell suitcase with the convenience of front-opening functionality, ideal for full interior access in train aisles, compact hotel rooms, and busy transit hubs.

Inside, a dual-sided zipped mesh divider and thoughtfully placed pockets keep everything secure and exactly where you packed it, whichever way you open the case. An innovative dual-lock system allows both compartments to be secured together or accessed independently, giving you control over how and when you reach for your belongings.

Built with our strongest polycarbonate shell and fitted with Himimoto Silent Glide 360 spinner wheels, it carries the signature durability, movement, and design of the Icon Stripe collection.
