To keep your bag 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 or discolor the fabric on your 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 in an upright position in a dry location. Avoid storing in extreme temperatures. When you're not out there exploring the world, we recommend keeping your bag covered while being stored.

This is a wonderful bag on wheels that will fit under the airplane seat. The handle extended to pull on the wheels and is actually tall enough AND sturdy enough to do so. The underside is protected by plastic to keep it from tearing up on the floor. A ton of pockets to stay organized. And the main pocket has snaps so it can open up completely when you arrive making it easy to see your packed items and access them. Has a laptop pocket as well. Perfect for business or leisure travel.
I'm always looking for a small suitcase for quick trips and I finally found a winner. This is the perfect carry on luggage. It's light weight and spacious so you don't even have to expand it. This is a must have for the travelers in your life. A couple of these will definitely find their way under the tree this year!
This Ricardo Beverly Hills Flight Essentials bag has survived more airport chaos than I have. Durable? Absolutely - I've used it as a seat and it didn't flinch. The wheels glide smoother than my life choices and it fits in overhead bins like it was born there.Surprisingly roomy and ridiculously organized - I keep finding new pockets like Easter eggs. Light comfy to roll and stylish enough that I feel slightly fancier than I am.If luggage could brag this one would.
This bag came in perfect time for an upcoming trip! My dad uses a similar one for his travels so we compared the two and you can really see and feel the difference in quality. This one is built well with thick zippers and material so you know it won't fall apart. It's a bit heavy but I do appreciate all the different storage compartments to be able to organize while also fitting all the essentials. Overall impressed with the bag.
The Ricardo Flight Essentials Softside Wheel-A-Board bag is perfect for short trips. Looks polished and professional. More storage space than it looks - can fit 2-3 days of stuff. Handle extends smoothly and wheels roll easily. Lots of cool features such as tiny flashlight and lots of useful pockets. Sturdy and feels very durable.
I like this bag so much I'm considering buying their carry on. It's well-constructed and has a smooth roll. It's the perfect size for a weekend getaway or short work trip and has a safe spot for a laptop or device as well. It's roomy yet compact. You can tell it's well-built and made to last.
Very impressed! This is the perfect travel bag for a quick getaway. Not only are there multiple compartments but the handle bar is the perfect size. There is enough space for clothing toiletries laptop documents and more. There is also a cute little light attached in one of the compartments. The wheels roll super smoothly. The zippers open the bag easily. Overall an amazing size bag.
The Ricardo Beverly Hills Flight Essentials Softside Wheel-A-Board Bag defines quality! The storage space is the most generous that I have ever seen in a bag! It is comfortable to carry and so easy to maneuver. This is the bag that we all need when we travel!
I was surprised on the quality! It's nice and durable it served its purpose! It actually fits quite a bit and super easy to use while traveling! Loved the size of it.
The Ricardo Beverly Hills wheel-a-board bag is fantastic! There are SO SO SO many compartments that there is no way you can't pack everything neatly organized in this bag. I love that the handle is recessed in its own zipper compartment. The wheels are very smooth although could be improved a little if they were 360° turn. All in all I love it.
I use this bag weekly for travel. Love the organization it provides and when hooked to my Ricardo bag it counter balances the weight and I can pull the two of them easily with my pinky finger while walking through the airport. Love it and them together!
I got to use this bag for my overnight stay this weekend and it was great! It has quite a few pockets and compartments to store everything you need in it. I love the organization of each section and it fits so much! The quality overall is great and the zippers are heavy duty so you can definitely tell it is made to last. The pull up handle makes it easy to wheel around without having to carry and best of all it is concealed by zipping it up!
This bag is super convenient and functional! It has plenty of compartments to keep everything organized feels really sturdy and rolls smoothly. Perfect size for travel and fits under the seat easily. My only wish is that it had spinning wheels to make it even easier to move around. Overall a great travel bag!
I’ve been using my Ricardo rollaboard suitcase and matching backpack for a little over two years, traveling nearly every week across North America and Europe—and I’m genuinely impressed. These bags have been my constant companions through airports, train stations, cobblestone old towns, and construction detours, and they’ve handled it all like champs.
Built to haul: The rollaboard consistently carries a 25 lb computer/book bag on its top hook. Despite that ongoing stress, the hook and mount show zero signs of strain—rock solid.
Miles of rough terrain: I’ve rolled this bag fully loaded and expanded for literal miles over cobblestones and through construction zones. The wheels are still smooth and stable. The rubber coating shows slight, totally reasonable wear, but performance remains excellent.
Travel-tested versatility: These bags have flown on a variety of aircraft, been tossed into cars, buses, and trains, and have even gone through the not-so-gentle checked-baggage gauntlet with multiple airlines. They keep bouncing back.
Only one hiccup to report: a few zipper tabs have broken off, and the design doesn’t make tab replacement easy without removing the entire zipper. The zippers still work, but operating them without tabs is a bit awkward. If Recardo updated that tab design, this would be an easy 5-star set.
What I Love
Top hook confidently supports a consistent 25 lb load
Wheels stay smooth after serious mileage on rough surfaces
Withstands frequent travel and occasional checked-bag handling
Backpack + rollaboard combo is efficient and travel-friendly
What Could Be Better
Zipper tabs can break off and are not easily replaceable
Minor cosmetic wear on wheel rubber (expected, not performance-impacting)
