Green is a classic color that always looks fresh and modern. It’s also a great way to make a statement while traveling. Whether you want to stand out from the crowd at the airport or want your luggage to look great in photos, picking a green suitcase is a great way to do it.
Plus, green is a very versatile color. There are many shades of green to choose from, so you can find the perfect one to match your personal style. And if you’re looking for something different than the traditional black or brown luggage, green is a safe bet.
In this review, we will look at the top-rated green suitcases in the market today. This review will not include any suitcases by Samsonite as I have a separate article dedicated to Samsonite’s green luggage. If you’re interested, click the link below to see that review.
That being said, let’s get started with our picks.
Top-Rated Green Luggage
Rockland Melbourne Hardside Luggage, Green
This hardside green luggage comes in three sizes: 20″, 24″ and 28″. There are also two and three-piece sets available which I highly suggest getting to have matching green suitcases. The 20″ inch suitcase is the only size that can by used as carry-on luggage. However, if it is expandable, the dimensions may exceed the airline regulations for carry-ons.
The hard shell is made of ABS plastic which is extremely lightweight and durable. The outer shell is rugged with a nice rough textured finish to minimize scratches and scuffs.
The interior is spacious and fully lined with a dark gray print fabric. There is a curtain divider to secure your stuff on the open side and cross straps on the other sides. There are no internal pockets, meaning you may need some packing cubes for better organization. However, all the suitcase sizes allow you to cram a lot of clothing into the two compartments. The 20″ carry-on can hold about 7-10 days’ worth of clothes, plus a few shoes if you’re smart about packing.
The telescopic handle extends to the perfect length, not too long or short. Four dual spinner wheels turn on a dime. I love the smooth and responsive wheels, making the green suitcase glide effortlessly across the airport. These wheels are super dependable if you need to rush through the airport.
A lock is integrated into the suitcase, but it is not TSA-approved. I would refrain from setting the combination immediately and wait for when you’re traveling. This way, you would forget the combination.

The Verdict
There’s simply no chance you will blend in with this green suitcase.
Kenneth Cole Reaction Out Of Bounds Luggage, Kelly Green
Brace yourself for compliments.
The hardshell construction is made of ABS plastic with reinforced molded guards to protect the corners. The surface has a rough textured finish that feels high-quality and minimizes scratches. The overall structure and design of the exterior are well made to absorb shock and impact, which extends the durability and longevity of the suitcases.
We all know how rough baggage handlers can get.
The interior is large and has a lot of packing space. There is a curtain divider with an additional accessory pocket to hold small items like toiletries. The carry-on suitcase can fit a week’s worth of clothes, plus a few shoes and toiletries.
The push-button handle is made of aluminum which makes it lightweight. It has a sturdy feel and extends or retracts in one smooth move. There are four multi-directional spinners that swivel and glide effortlessly. The wheels are incredibly durable and survive rolling on paved streets and sidewalks. It is also highly responsive and allows you to turn in tight spots.
The best part about this luggage collection in Kelly Green? You can spot it a mile away.

The Verdict
This popping green suitcase is built to make a lasting impression.
U.S. Traveler Rio Carry-on Luggage Set, Green
This luggage set is a two-piece set that includes a 21″ carry-on suitcase and a tote bag. There are options to choose a two-wheel suitcase or a four-wheel suitcase. I prefer the four-wheel suitcase as it maneuvers better and allows the suitcase to roll next to you.
This softside spinner luggage is made of durable 1200D polyester fabric. The stitching is extremely tough and durable. The color looks like olive green which is more neutral and less vibrant than our two picks above. However, this olive green never gets old looking and is unique enough to identify at the luggage carousel.
The interior is fully lined with ample packing space to fit a week’s worth of clothes. If that’s not enough, this green carry-on luggage has an expandable feature to increase the storage capacity up to 25%. Keep in mind that if you do expand the suitcase, it may exceed the airline regulations for carry-on baggage. If you opt for the two-wheel suitcase, the front may get heavy and fall forward when fully packed.
Be strategic about your packing. Use packing cubes if you need to separate items (shoes, toiletries, used clothing, socks, etc.)
One of the great things about the U.S. Traveler Rio suitcase is that you only pack on one side. This means your belongings will not fall out or move around during transport, and the top items are also easier to access.
There are also exterior front pockets which are great for storing soft or used items to separate them from the main compartment.
The luggage set is available in 2 wheels or four wheels. These would either be inline skate wheels or 360-degree spinner wheels, respectively. The wheels for both options are small so it’s easy to fit in the overhead bin. They roll smoothly, but since they are small, there might be some resistance when moving on carpet surfaces.
The telescopic handle is sturdy and adjusts easily to two heights. One issue we’ve found is that the handle is hard to extend if the suitcase is packed too full. To relieve this pressure, you would need to tip the suitcase forward to relieve some of that pressure for the bars to extend.
The tote bag is a great addition to fit small items. It sits nicely on the suitcase with a strap to secure onto the handle.

The Verdict
One downside is that it’s front-heavy, so it may tend to fall forward when fully packed. The four-wheel suitcase has more stability and will not fall forward when it is front-heavy.
But overall, it is a great carry-on set for business or leisure travel.
