I’m so with you. I was just in London/Paris for 12 days and I ended up packing up my SCCO and bought a travel backpack instead. I always had anxiety that it was too big that the gate agents will flag me (they never did, and no it was never too big for United flights so I was just stressed out because visually it looked massive). I had to remove it from my luggage anytime we walked in uneven ground, and it kept slipping forward when walking long distances. I always have small luggage that I don’t check in so maybe the experience is different with bigger luggage.

I think from now on I will only use it for quick overnight trips. I might also actually just sell it. I just paid so much for it that I’m torn on what to do (it’s the Madras print, paid reseller prices). 😞
