VonHaus makes affordable home and garden products in the UK. Their suitcase sets follow the same formula: functional basics at competitive prices. The mustard colour option stands out from the usual black luggage.
What You Get
Three hard shell suitcases:
| Size | Dimensions | Weight |
|---|---|---|
| Small | 55 x 35 x 21cm | 2.4kg |
| Medium | 66 x 43 x 25cm | 3.3kg |
| Large | 76 x 51 x 30cm | 4.1kg |
The small size fits most airline carry-on restrictions. Check your specific carrier before flying.
Build Quality
The shell is ABS plastic – standard for budget luggage. It’s lightweight and scratch-resistant but not as durable as polycarbonate. Adequate for occasional travel, though rough handling will show.
Key features:
- Four 360° spinner wheels
- Telescopic aluminium handle
- Integrated combination lock
- Fully lined interior with packing straps
- Netted pocket for smaller items
- Elastic clothes retainers
The wheels roll smoothly and the handle locks at multiple heights. The combination lock adds basic security, though it isn’t TSA-approved.
Colour Options
Available in mustard (as pictured), grey, and black. The mustard option is easier to spot on a carousel than the usual sea of black cases.
Pros
- Budget price – Competitive for a 3-piece set
- Lightweight – ABS construction keeps weight down
- Smooth wheels – Spinner wheels work well
- Nested storage – Smaller cases fit inside larger
- 2-year warranty – Decent coverage for the price
Cons
- ABS durability – Won’t survive rough treatment
- Basic interior – Minimal organisation features
- Not TSA-approved – Lock won’t open for US security
- Handle wobble – Some play under heavy loads
Who Should Buy This
Good for:
- Occasional travellers on a budget
- Families needing multiple cases cheaply
- Those who want colour options beyond black
- Weekend trips and short holidays
Look elsewhere if:
- You travel frequently (invest in more durable luggage)
- You fly to the US often (need TSA-approved locks)
- You check bags on budget airlines that handle luggage roughly
Compared to Alternatives
| Set | Material | Lock | Price Range |
|---|---|---|---|
| VonHaus 3pc | ABS | Combination | £60-100 |
| Snug 3pc | ABS | TSA | £60-100 |
| Tripp 3pc | ABS/Poly | TSA | £100-200 |
| Aerolite 3pc | ABS | Combination | £80-150 |
VonHaus competes directly with Snug and Aerolite. All three are similar budget ABS sets with minor differences in styling and features.
Verdict
The VonHaus set is functional budget luggage. It does what it needs to do at a reasonable price. The mustard colour stands out, the wheels work well, and the 2-year warranty provides some reassurance.
Don’t expect premium quality or exceptional durability – this is entry-level luggage for occasional use. If you need something to survive regular travel, spend more on a better-built set.
