I'm curious if this can be used as a carry-on when traveling,the reason i'm asking is because the last time I flew my friend checked her's in & when she picked it up the leather had huge scratches & the front part of it was slashed. I would hate to see that happen to mine. So any help would be appreciated. =)

These are the dimensions: L 13.75" W 8.5" H 19.5"

it's a beautiful piece of luggage and i personally would not check it because airports don't try their best to handle it with care.

and i'm pretty sure it is way too large to be a carry on especially if it is full, it looks too heavy and large.

safe travels thoo
