Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing a suitcase (1) comprising at least one suitcase shell (Ia, Ib) and at least one functional attachment (31) which is more heavily loaded during use and which is connected to the at least one suitcase shell (Ia, Ib) at a position provided for this purpose, wherein the suitcase shell (Ia, Ib) and the attachment (31) are at least partly made of a thermoplastic material. The invention also relates to a suitcase (1) produced using the aforementioned method.

Abstract: A handle construction for an item of luggage, in particular a suitcase, and an item of luggage, in particular a suitcase, including such a handle construction, has a hand grip and at least one rod or the like connected to the hand grip, the rod being able to be transferred between a stowed position and a position of use. A pouch with an opening is connected to at least one rod or the like or the hand grip. To permit rapid and simple storage and removal of objects, the pouch is integrated in the handle construction and together with the hand grip is able to be transferred between the stowed position and the position of use.

Abstract: A luggage item, in particular suitcase, has two shells made of essentially solid material, which shells are connectable to each other via a closure element which runs around the majority of the circumference and can be opened out in a fully opened state of the closure element, a region made of flexible material being arranged along at least a part of the circumference on at least one side of the closure element between the closure element and the shell made of essentially solid material, so that access into the interior of the luggage item is possible even with only partially open state of the closure element.
