Why Good Housekeeping Loves: Holiday 8 and Retro
![]()
When it comes to choosing the right suitcase, you want something reliable, stylish and built to last. That’s why we’re delighted to share that two of our most popular collections, Holiday 8 and Retro, have been given the prestigious Good Housekeeping Approved seal.
So, what does that really mean, and why should it matter to you? Let’s take a closer look at what goes into Good Housekeeping testing and why these collections stand out for every kind of travel.
What Does Good Housekeeping Approved Mean?
Good Housekeeping is one of the UK’s most trusted voices when it comes to product testing. Their dedicated Institute team puts products through a series of checks to see how they perform in real life. From durability and functionality to value for money and design, every detail is tested before a product earns the Good Housekeeping Approved badge.
For you, this means complete peace of mind. You can feel confident knowing your luggage has been independently tested and recognised for quality, performance and style.
What Goes Into Good Housekeeping Testing?
- Lab Testing: Products are checked in the Institute’s state-of-the-art labs for performance, durability, functionality and safety. For luggage, this can mean testing the strength of the materials, the smoothness of zips and wheels, and whether the handles can cope with the weight of real travel.
- Real-World Trials: After the lab comes everyday use. Testers take the products home and use them as they would in daily life. This helps reveal how practical, comfortable and user-friendly the item really is.
- Expert Assessment: Scientists, engineers and product specialists then bring it all together, reviewing the lab data alongside real-world feedback to decide whether the product meets the high Good Housekeeping standards.
