Australia’s Kadi luggage is big on style & performance, & now even bigger on value

Colleague Megan French is in England on a long trip, and she has with her new Kadi soft luggage.

Kadi is an Australian-owned and designed brand that launched in 2023. A spokesperson explains that it was “born from the need for affordable luggage that doesn’t compromise on quality or design”.

Colours are interesting, unusual and pastel, from charcoal to pebble, olive to a midnight dusk blue.

The durable shells of the hard cases are made from premium 100 per cent German polycarbonate.

And there is currently a sale on the kadiluggage.com website.

+ For example, in their soft shell luggage, the medium Cloud check-in in charcoal is reduced from $329 to $297.40. Holding 81 litres, it weighs just 3.2kg and has a lifetime manufacturer’s warranty.

+ The large Cloud check-in, which Megan is using, is reduced from $379 to $227.40. It has a whopping 120-litre capacity yet weighs just 3.9kg.

+ The 40-litre Cloud Carry-on weighs 2.6kg — a distinct advantage with carry-on limits. It is reduced from $279 to $167.40.

+ Kadi also has an impressive range of hard-shell cases. I particularly like their Carry-On Business in olive. Currently reduced from $399 to $239.40, is cleverly designed, right down to frosted PVC pockets and a quick-access front pocket for tech. With a 38-litre capacity, it weighs 3.5kg.

+ There is also a Carry-On Leisure version of the hard-shell cases. They are currently reduced from $325 to $195.

+ Kadi also has weekender bags, pretty 33-litre over-shoulder and handle bags in subtle shades. They have a firm base, so they sit upright when you put them down.

+ There are also colourful bags designed for kids.

+ From the tough shell material through to durable spinner wheels and water-resistant zippers, Kadi’s product developers have worked to turn each Kadi piece into a “trusted companion”.
