Level 8 Luminous Textured Luggage Set Review – Sturdy Suitcases On The Radar

Full disclaimer ahead, before we get into the thick of it:

Level 8 sent us two complete sets for us to review; while I chose the Luminous Textured Luggage Set in Black, Sam chose the Grace Set in Champagne.

In both of our reviews, you will see that we’ve fallen in love with the Level 8 suitcases; there is no other word to express our feelings towards these products.

However, we’ll let you decide how you feel about them and simply show you all the details of both the Luminous Textured set and the Grace Luggage set.

From the zippers to the hard shell, you’ll be able to find here the tiniest details of these oh-so-gorgeous suitcases – very much welcome when you’re often traveling to London, Rome, Paris, and around the world! Their sleek design and durable materials ensure they can stand up to the rigors of frequent travel, making them a reliable companion for any journey. Plus, with plenty of organizational compartments, you’ll have no trouble neatly packing everything you need, whether it’s souvenirs from Rome or a guide to the best bakeries in Paris. Stylish and practical, these suitcases are the ultimate travel essential for globetrotters.

Good Luggage, Organization, and Everything in Between

For me, packing is very important, especially as a digital nomad and travel enthusiast.

I like to have things clean and tidy, all organized so the entire airport process goes as smoothly as possible.

Not just at security, but also once we’re flying – I need to have my suitcase organized (or my backpack, whichever I’m traveling with) so I don’t have to bother other passengers… or myself.

But what’s even more important to be is to have a sturdy suitcase – I travel quite often and need to be able to rely on my luggage.

Here’s what Level 8 says about their Luminous Textured Luggage set:

One of our best-selling luggage sets. The LEVEL8 Textured Luggage Set is finely crafted with remarkable diamond shaped textures combined with anti-scratch surface technology.
It is enhanced with waterproof material and enchanted with ultra-quiet 360° spinner wheels that will handle the cobblestone streets of New York City and smoothly glide across airport floors to your next gate number.

We’ve already written about loads of travel tips and guides here on The Working Line.

From how to make friends in London to the best study cafes in Rome, one thing’s for sure, we love traveling.

Dreaming about our next destination is something we do on the daily, but the quality of your suitcase is nothing but crucial when it comes to travel.

I mean, this is where most adventures start.

You don’t want to rely on a poor-quality trolley and risk having your experience ruined because zippers get stuck, the shell gets damaged or, worse, one of the wheels breaks even before you take off.

Level 8 Luminous Textured Luggage Set Review: Who is Level 8?

There are ways to make traveling less stressful, and one of them is to choose a good suitcase from the get-go.

I think that even before I really get into the materials and sizes of the Level 8 Luminous Textured Luggage set, you’ve kind of gathered I’m in awe.

To give you a bit of background about the brand, Level 8 was established in 2008 and is based in New York City.

Their goal is basically to create a deep connection between us and the concept of travel.

The whole collection of suitcases, trolleys, bags, and other organizing cubes aims at providing a ‘less of a burden’ moment when traveling – with sleek, utterly sleek designs.

Level 8 Luminous Textured Luggage Set Review: Features and Close-Ups

The Level 8 suitcases focus on a minimalist design, something boujee and tasteful – no one can deny these suitcases are beautiful, sturdy, and durable.

The Luminous Textured Luggage Set I have received is one of the best-selling sets from the brand, crafted with outstanding diamond-shaped textures.

The three suitcases in the set come in different sizes; 20″, 24″, and 28″ – the 20″ suitcase being the carry-on we can take in the cabin for free with most airlines.

A few features of the Luminous Textured Luggage set include:

A textured anti-scratch surface made from German Bayer Makrolon® Material
A TSA-approved combination lock
A durable Aluminum Alloy Trolley System, Top & Side Carry Handles
Durable and quiet 360° Spinner Wheels

When I received my set, I could straight up feel the posh quality of the lining, the hard shell, the handles, and, very importantly, the wheels.

If you’re like me and prefer neutrals, pastels, or blacks to travel unnoticed, these are absolutely perfect for you.

Something to note is that while these are black suitcases, they do bear the name ‘luminous’ for a reason, with a smooth matte design that still provides lots of light.

Simply perfect – the set literally suits any occasion.

Level 8 Luminous Textured Luggage Set Review: A Few More Pictures

The Level 8 Luminous Textured Luggage set only comes in black, and beyond simple beauty and sturdiness, there are a few hidden gems in the suitcases.

For instance, the interior offers a mesh pocket divider with two zipper pockets and two straps to help you organize your suitcase perfectly.

These are also very light suitcases, even the 20″ and the 24″ suitcases.

One thing to keep in mind, though, is that organizing cubes do not come with the Luminous Textured Luggage set and have to be purchased separately.

However, if there’s one thing we can tell you, is that Sam has reviewed the packing cubes along with the Grace Luggage Set, and they are extremely cute – and very necessary if you travel a lot!

Level 8 Luminous Textured Luggage Set Review: Details

When it comes to the Level 8 Luminous Textured Luggage Set, one thing that instantly made me fall in love is the suitcases’ details.

Details, aesthetics, and sturdiness – that’s what defines a good travel bag or suitcase for me.

That’s also what immediately shows you that the suitcase feels safe to take with you on the plane/train.

And this set? It checks all the boxes.

The cute zippers engraved with the Level 8 logo, the stitches, the strong wheels… Incredible.

While most brands sell similar products, there’s something that would make me more inclined to buy Level 8 in the future, and it’s the fact they tick all my boxes:

Safety
Aesthetics
Low profile

I feel like these suitcases are cute in any way; far from boring, the black color makes them luxurious.

The only downside would be you can only get the Luminous Textured Luggage set in black, but is it really a con, when most of us like to travel low-key?

A few things I really love about the suitcases are the handles – the main handle with adjustable levels is a direct response to a struggle I always have with suitcases.

I know it happens to all travelers; suitcase handles usually tend to be shaky, like they’re going to break as soon as you pop them out at the airport.

The Level 8 suitcases?

Not only is the handle material fantastic, smooth, and comfortable, but they do feel sturdy, not shaky in any way, and I know I will be able to use these over and over, and over again.
