Oprah Picks Heys USA EcoCase For 'O List'

Recycled luggage? Think about it…not exactly what the traveling public is looking for (the concept of who owned this luggage and where has it been, is almost overwhelming - especially when I think about my own set of luggage)…but recyclable luggage, now that’s different. Heys USA, a leading manufacturer of hard sided luggage, has introduced the first eco friendly hardsided luggage set, made from 100% recycled materials…and it is 100% recyclable. Oprah Winfrey has picked the Heys EcoCase luggage set as a featured product on her highly coveted ‘O List’.  The 'O List' is a regular section in ‘O Magazine’  and features items that Oprah and her team think ‘are just great’


The EcoCase is made from 100% recycled plastic. By utilizing recycled materials to create new durable goods, not only does it help to reduce the demand for new materials and new resources, but it also reduces materials that would otherwise fill a landfill, and all the while giving support to the recycling industry as well. 


The EcoCase is a Spinner luggage set that is very durable, due to its flexible plastic material (ABS), that absorbs impacts. A new blend of ABS gives the EcoCase an elasticity effect similar to a rubber-band. Unlike other hardsided cases, the shell won’t crack… ever!


It is also lightweight, expandable, and is Hey’s first hardsided luggage set to have special 'Piggy-Back' straps - which are usually found on soft-sided luggage only. It has a fully lined interior with a built-in divider with a mesh pocket, and an internal telescopic handle system with a push-button locking system.


So the next time you are thinking about being eco friendly, think recyclable luggage that’s made from 100% recycled plastics. It’s a small step forward to help save our environment for today and tomorrow. And, at the same time you’ll be getting a great piece of luggage. 



 

Laptop Case Finder… Making Life a Little Easier

Wow. That’s it, Wow. The Irv’s Luggage Laptop Case finder works really, really well.   I’ve always had a hard time finding the perfect laptop case. In my job, I get a new laptop fairly regularly.  You know the game… smaller, faster, new wifi modem, better capabilities…it’s always something. So virtually every year (or sooner it seems) I get a new laptop. Finding the perfect laptop case is another challenge.



It doesn’t seem like it should be complicated…years ago, it used to be simple: black or midnight brown; leather or nylon and don’t worry about the size…one size fits all. Now, it’s not so simple… every laptop brand has a different size and style and the laptop cases have so many options: TSA approved, checkpoint friendly or not; laptop messenger bag vs. laptop case; wheeled laptop case or an over-the-shoulder laptop case; women’s laptop case or men’s; laptop sleeve or maybe a laptop backpack… you get the idea. In today’s world, nothing is simple and there are so many, many choices.



Irv’s Luggage has introduced a new service to find the perfect laptop case. The Irv’s Luggage Laptop Case Finder provides the ability to select the appropriately sized laptop case, based upon the brand and model of laptop or the laptop’s size. However – and this is where this Laptop Case Finder is different – I can choose the specific type of case that I want and then the Laptop Case Finder gives me recommendations based upon what I’m looking for.



This is what I like… after I put in the brand and model of my latest laptop (or the size), I get to choose what I want… whether it’s TSA approved –or- simply show me a wheeled laptop case. Easy. So, rather than choose from the 600 plus laptop cases in every style, color, size and brand, the Laptop Case finder narrows the options, based on what I want. With my latest company laptop, I just want a neoprene laptop sleeve. Rather than searching through 600 plus choices, the Laptop Case Finder narrowed the choices to eleven. Much easier, much fast and I get what I want.



Make it simple. That’s what I like. It helps too, that Irv’s Luggage offers a huge selection of laptop cases, and all at great prices. The Laptop Case Finder makes it even easier to find the perfect laptop case.
