A small suitcase is a type of luggage that is typically used for short trips or weekend getaways. It is usually smaller than a regular suitcase and can be carried by hand or with a handle or strap. The term 'small suitcase' can refer to three different types of luggage: a GRIP, a weekender, and a VALISE. A GRIP is a small, rectangular suitcase with a handle on the top and sides. A weekender is a larger, more spacious suitcase with two handles and a shoulder strap. A VALISE is a soft-sided suitcase with a handle and straps. All three types of small suitcases are designed to be lightweight and easy to carry.
