Product description
The items in question are vertical pullman suitcases. The two piece sets are identified as “Trolley Cases” (Item #AH02530).

The four piece “Trolley Cases” sets (Item #AH02530) are also covered with black polyester 600D textile fabric. The four sizes measure 17”, 21”, 25”, and 29”. Again, we assume the only difference is size.
