Available in three different sizes, the Nere Stori is one of Strand’s best selling products.

The sleek and slim design offers travellers a low maintenance piece of luggage that can be effortlessly paired with any outfit no matter what awaits once disembarking.

Made from a quality ABS hard shell, on-trend colours and signature matte black round logo it has eight spinner wheels for easy maneuvering.

“Great for a recent month long trip to Europe. The expanding gusset is super helpful at the end stuffing purchases in!” said Sarah, after travelling Europe with the Nere Stori suitcases.

“We used packing cubes that compressed, and managed a month with two similar sized suitcases between a family of three. Small enough to lift on and off trains.”

The Nere Stori comes in eight different colours, from a staple black to a pop of colour with the Orchid Pink colourway — easily spot your suitcase once the baggage carousel starts.

Amongst the Stori range, travellers can also get their hands on a 26cm Vanity Case, 55cm Carry-On, 65cm Medium Check-in and a 75cm Large Check-in.

Now although the Nere Venture may look similar to the Stori, the real selling point of this suitcase is the dual opening.

Crafted from lightweight, durable polycarbonate, the Nere Venture combines both flexibility and strength to offer travellers a hard case construction with multiple ways to travel.

“The top open design is amazing as it means you don’t need to take up the space of two cases to access all of your belongings and the smaller compartments in the top section are perfect for storing frequently used and potentially leaky items,” said Jemima, after travelling for two months.

“So smooth to handle and roll, feels sturdy and not like it is ever unbalanced or buckling, has outperformed all of my big name branded cases.”

With a recessed TSA approved lock, travellers can get from point A to point B hassle free without worrying about your luggage lock breaking.

But the real selling point for me was the internal organiser with wet pocket, because more often then not I won’t swim on the final day of a vacation because my swimmers won’t dry in time.

Now with this internal wet pocket, you can savor and enjoy every last second of your well deserved break.
