Ingenious Collection: Light, Flexible and Foldable
Storage space at home is often the first thing a suitcase compromises. A rigid case needs a wardrobe shelf or a dedicated cupboard. Foldable Plume solves that problem entirely: press the two buttons above the wheels, fold the case flat and slide it into its own protective cover. Under the bed, on top of a wardrobe, at the back of a closet, it fits wherever you need it to, taking up a fraction of the space of a traditional suitcase. When the next trip comes around, unfold it, pack it and go.
One Great Idea, Every Format
- Mini cabin (45cm): our most compact foldable suitcase, carrying the easyJet ✓ confirmation as free underseat luggage on standard fares. The ideal format for frequent short-haul flyers who want a well-organised, fee-free carry-on that stores flat at home between trips. Personalisation available.
- Cabin suitcase (55cm): the standard cabin format, sized to fit the overhead lockers on most airlines and designed for trips of a few days. Personalisation available, making it a thoughtful and practical gift for any traveller.
- Wheeled duffle (78cm): a generous, wheeled duffle format for longer trips or anyone who wants the fold-flat advantage in a larger size. Personalisation available.
Current colourways for each format are shown on the individual product pages.
The Same Plume Quality, a Different Idea
Foldable Plume is crafted from the same lightweight twill nylon as our iconic Plume suitcases, with the same water-resistant properties and the same Parisian colour palette. The main practical difference is the wheel system: Foldable Plume uses 2 wheels rather than the 4-spinner system of the regular Plume range, which is what allows the fold-flat mechanism to work. This choice also brings a usable-volume advantage: on a 4-spinner suitcase, the height of the wheels is included within the suitcase's overall height, which reduces the interior space available by the same amount. With just 2 wheels, Foldable Plume avoids this loss of internal height, giving you a more generous storage volume at the same external size. If you prefer 4 spinner wheels and do not need the fold-flat storage advantage, our Plume collection covers the same twill nylon aesthetic with multi-directional spinners. And to explore all foldable formats available, our foldable suitcases page has the full range.
FAQ
How does the folding mechanism work?
Folding your Foldable Plume suitcase is straightforward and takes just a moment. Simply press the two buttons located above the wheels simultaneously and fold the case flat. Once folded, slide it into its dedicated protective cover, which keeps it clean, compact and protected between trips. To unfold, remove it from the cover and open it back out, it is ready to pack immediately. The folded format is small enough to fit under a bed, on top of a wardrobe or in any other storage space where a traditional suitcase would not fit.
What sizes are available in the Foldable Plume collection?
The mini cabin (45cm) is our most compact option, carrying the easyJet ✓ confirmation as free underseat luggage on standard fares and ideal for short trips without any additional fees. The cabin suitcase (55cm) is sized for airline overhead lockers and suits trips of a few days. The wheeled duffle (78cm) is a generous format for longer trips or those who want the fold-flat advantage in a larger size. Every format folds flat into its own protective cover for storage at home, and full dimensions are listed on each individual product page.
Is the foldable mini cabin accepted as cabin luggage?
Yes. Our mini cabin format (45cm) carries the easyJet ✓ confirmation as free underseat luggage on standard fares, meaning it travels in the cabin at no extra cost. This makes it one of the most practical formats for frequent short-haul flyers who want to avoid baggage fees entirely. Our cabin suitcase format (55cm) also complies with the standard overhead locker dimensions accepted by most major airlines. As airline policies can vary and change, we always recommend checking your specific carrier's allowances before you travel.
How is Foldable Plume different from the regular Plume collection?
The material, colour palette and design philosophy are the same: both use lightweight twill nylon in the same Parisian colour range. The key differences are the wheel system and the storage capability. Foldable Plume uses 2 wheels rather than the 4-spinner system of the regular Plume range, which is what enables the fold-flat mechanism. This makes Foldable Plume the better choice if storage space at home is limited, while the regular Plume collection is the better choice if you prefer 4-wheel spinning ease and a wider range of sizes for longer trips.
What material is Foldable Plume luggage made from?
Foldable Plume luggage is crafted from the same lightweight twill nylon used in our iconic Plume suitcase collection. The twill nylon is water-resistant, protecting your belongings from light rain and everyday splashes. It is also lightweight and flexible, which is what makes the fold-flat mechanism possible without compromising the durability of the case. The fabric maintains its look well through frequent use and is easy to clean with the Lipault Travel Accessories Cleaner or a damp cloth with mild soap.
