I’m no super hero, or a secret agent or indeed a government spy. I am, however, interested in “luggage sets” and the new and exciting designs and innovations that cross my path are sometimes too fantastic not to share/ take the mickey, whichever fits!

Here are my top three outstandingly ridiculous, whilst being marvellously brilliant at the same time!

Number 3

Ladies and gentlemen, meet the transforming luggage, the suitcase that can transform itself into a) a chair, b) a bookcase or c) a lamp. Now who doesn’t need each of these things when you are away on a trip! I haven’t yet worked out what happens to the contents of said suitcase when you flip it into a chair but there you go.

Number 2

The suitcase bike, which does it exactly what it says on the tin. It’s a bike, that you can ride and the frame is formed into a suitcase! Breath-taking. Clearly, it is exceptionally useful in China, the country which produced it, but given that we Brits drive everywhere I’m not sure it will catch on here.

Number 1

My favourite strange luggage design at Number 1 is, I am sure you will agree awe inspiring. It looks more like a garment bag than a suitcase, so you can imagine it stuffed with very important documents that you wouldn’t want people to lay their hands on. But this suitcase is ultra safe and secure and a great thief deterrent. Why? Because it has 80,000 volts running through it. Activated by a remote control, it also has a 107 db alarm which is set off when the button is pressed and if that didn’t scare them off, then a nice shock of electricity running through their veins might just do the job!
