To keep your luggage clean and beautiful for years to come, use a soft sponge or cloth, water or any mild household detergent. Avoid using cleaning products that contain bleach, acetone, ammonia as well as coarse and abrasive sponges that can damage the finish of your hardside case and may discolor the fabric on your softside bag.
For sticky zippers, this can be caused by dirt, debris or years of use; we recommend using warm water and a small amount of dish soap and scrub your zippers. Remember to completely rinse and dry them afterwards. this will remove any debris and you can also use the lead of a pencil to gently rub the zipper teeth, which in turn will act as a dry lube on the zipper.
Store your luggage in an upright position in a dry location. Avoid storing luggage in extreme temperatures. To conveniently save space, all sizes from this collection nest (fit neatly) inside each other. Just open the largest suitcase and set the smaller size(s)—with the wheels facing the same direction—inside. Close lids and zip the outermost bag closed. When you're not out there exploring the world, we recommend keeping your luggage covered while being stored.

The Ricardo Avalon Small Carry-On is the perfect carry-on for me: size, capacity, ease of use and looks! I had been looking for a carry-on that would fit underneath the airline seats. It would be a replacement for my well-traveled 5-year-old Pathfinder small carry-on. The search was very challenging as most bags are too think or too wide for the underseat challenge. The Ricardo Avalon carry-on is perfect.
Lacking strength due to sickness, I prefer to travel ultralight. For my 4-week travel abroad (including a 2-week multi-city trip), I only used this carry-on and the Ricardo Malibu Bay 3.0 Softside Convertible Tech Backpack. Both contained all my necessary items. Perfect combo! (P.S. I use a local laundry mat and handwash all my undies and socks, so no need to bring too many clothes.)
Thank you Ricardo for making quality and beautiful luggages. More power to the employees!
Lastly, buy this bag!
This is the ultimate carryon. Advice? Use compression packing cubes or vacuum seal storage bags for packing clothing; pack slip-on shoes in shoe bags; utilize the long hollow space between the handle rails for small items such as socks, underwear, scarves, ties, and bathing suits; keep toiletries in a one quart resealable freezer bag and place that inside the case’s included 3-1-1 wet pouch; wear your bulkiest shoes and clothing on the plane; confidently wheel this tiny marvel of a suitcase on to the plane knowing that it will slide with ease under the seat in front of you or into the overhead bin above you. One last thing - buy this bag.
For air travel, this is THE bag. Advice? Lay out your wardrobe and edit; use compression packing cubes; pack really small belongings inside the hollow between the handle rails; wrap belts ties scarves around the perimeter of the case; pack shoes (preferably slip-ons) in shoe bags; pack toiletries in a quart-size freezer bag and pack them in the convenient wet pouch; wear heaviest clothes and shoes on the plane; no need to check your bag because it will easily fit under the seat in front of you or in the overhead compartment; enjoy your trip.
shopping on the site is a breeze, however I never recieved an email when the item shipped. I only knew when i went to look at the order. then shipping was so long. but product is fantastic as always.
This small yet roomy soft luggage piece is perfect for a short trip. It’s versatile and with its small size you can actually put it under the seat on the plane. No having to worry about if the overhead rack will be full. I’ve only used it once but so far it seems pretty durable. The inside offers a lot of different ways to organize your belongings.
The product is super easy to pack with and very light-weight; very portable and easy to take on and off flights. Durable material as well and very sturdy.
The perfect travel companion! This bag features several pockets with just enough space for all your carry-on items. It has a super durable design and fits perfectly under the seat on a plane. I love it!

OMG this bag is absolutely gorgeous the quality is excellent as expected and it has lots of storage spots it's small but you can fit a lot in it! I would 100% recommend this bag!!
I already own Ricardo luggage. I love it so much that I purchased another as a Christmas gift first my nephew.
They are well made and the green is a beautiful shade too! I can't wait to give it to him!
Be aware that this is a smaller suitcase than a standard carry on. It was a bit too small for my use, so I asked my mom and she loved it. It seems like it can pack a lot of stuff despite its size. I had nice pockets and compartments. I really do recommend this if you’re looking for a small small suitcase. One negative I found was that it was a two wheel suitcase as opposed to a 4 wheel. That’s my only nitpick. Oh, it also came with a pouch that seems to be water resistant for travel toiletries, and the pouch has clips that clip on to the suitcase. I thought that was cool.
Very impressed with design and quality! My husband is picky when it comes to bags and luggage. This was supposed to be for me, but he stole it from me! It is well constructed and rolls easily. The telescoping handle has several settings and is even tall enough for him (he’s over 6ft). There is a wet bag/ toiletry pouch that snaps in place and plenty of side pockets and interior pockets. It also has the ability to slide onto the handle of larger luggage pieces. This is a great overnight or carryon bag.
This Ricardo Beverly Hills Avalon Small Carry-on bag is so nice. It is made really well, lightweight, but very durable. It is a great bag for short trips or an addition to long trips with decent room and storage compartments. I love it and it will be used for many trips we take. I would definitely recommend.
I have used this small carry-on twice now. This is a great bag for a regional plane since the overhead space is limited. The handle extends extra, it’s perfect for me being 6 foot tall. The side pouch is nice it gives extra storage and organization with easy access. This had rolls nice through the airport and I would recommend it to others.
This carry on luggage is made from recycled material which makes it so much better. Small enough to store anywhere. Fits just enough for a nice weekend getaway. Smooth texture and great green color.
It�s so cute. It�s a great size. I think that the trolley strap that it has is very handy so if you do have a larger suitcase, you can add it on top of the larger suitcase. It feels soft enough, but still sturdy.
The perfect sized overnight and/or carryon bag. Comes it�s a pouch for damp or wet items and 2 interior zipped pockets. The luggage itself is very lightweight, yet durable! There�s 2 exterior zippered compartments, one on the front and one on the side. Small but packs a huge punch!
Great green color, small but not too small. Perfect for the one or two day business trip. Fits under most airline seats and could be used as your second carry one in a pinch.
Very high quality!!! The material seems very durable. Zippers work smoothly. This small suitcase holds a ton!!! The colour is very vibrant. The handle is comfortable to roll!!
Wow!!! The Avalon small carry on is not only stylish but is crafted from environmentally conscious Rpet recycled plastic.

I travel frequently and don't like checking a bag. This Ricardo of Beverly Hills Small Carry-on is perfect. It has four zippered compartments and a removable toiletry bag, making this the perfect sized bag for most travelers. The best feature is that this bag is constructed from recycled plastic bottles. The material is strong and durable. Overall, this is a remarkable carry-on for most travelers.
Very durable and wonderful carry on case. Very great packability and versatility. Very comfortable to use and fits great everywhere. I absolutely love this suitcase
I love the color and that it opens from the top. I like the wheels on the back. They only reason I gave it four stars is because there are no wheels on the front and I really need a good spinner but so far so good. I’m gonna try it on my next trip August 2.
I purchased the this same case over 15 years ago and it had been a tried and true travel companion but it was time to be replaced. The new case is a lighter outer shell which is great in reducing overall weight. The only downside on the new case are the 2 inline wheels versus the 4 rotating wheels on the old case. Overall a great small case.
Fit well as either an under seat or overhead carry-on. We traveled on Sun Country Airlines, which has smaller overhead compartments. The front does not stay open on its own, which is a little annoying when packing and unpacking.
This travel suitcase is good it’s smaller than most of the other suitcases but it’s good for a small trip and you only needed necessary things and it’s easy to store!
Very durable and great for a bigger carry on through flights. Smaller than expected but still has great storage for what is needed out of it. Would not recommend for a real suitcase, even if it is just a few days it is not big enough.
This little suitcase looks awesome. It has a ton of built in organization on the inside. There are extra pockets on the outside. It has a luggage strap on the back so you can slide it over your bigger luggage handle or you can use the expanding handle and roll it on its own. It seems very well made. I have not had the chance to take it on a trip yet but will be trying it out soon. It also says it fits under an airline seat
so this make work out as a personal item. Overall it seems like a great piece of overnight or short trip luggage.
