The VIVA’s VENUS currently dominates the excellent choice of hard-shell suitcases because it is incredibly sturdy but lightweight at the same time, made out of BAYER Makrolon polycarbonate. Its biggest characteristic is the “Flat-Top opening,” meaning it opens from the top as a flat cover. That means it takes up much less space while being open and makes the packing process so much easier and more convenient! It also features an expansion system that adds even more space if needed. That can be done simply by using the zipper in the center of the suitcase, increasing its capacity by 20%. For those who love buying a lot of souvenirs as they travel, this suitcase is a lifesaver! On top of that, the VIVA’s VENUS still has traditional middle opening and closing for user who prefer layered storage.
