Product related questions
Cabin size measures
We all hate it to be rejected. We want to make sure this never happens to you and that is why all our suitcases and bags are designed to comply with the international IATA aviation size standards.
That means you can always bring your suitcase or bag as carry-on luggage onboard. In this way you have nothing to worry about and you can already start dreaming away of your next destination.
Our materials
Our suitcases are made of premium and sustainable Polycarbonate. Polycarbonate is the strongest available material and allows us to use it in a recycled shape.
Most other companies use ABS for the shells of their suitcases. This is a cheap and low-quality material. The big difference between Polycarbonate and ABS is the quality and durability. Polycarbonate is a higher quality material. It’s more durable and lightweight but also more expensive in the production process.
Our bags are made of a sustainable and luxurious fabric that consists of 100% recycled PET bottles.
We will always select the highest quality materials so that you can use our products for a lifetime.
Our sourcing
We put enormous effort in sourcing the right materials and to support our suppliers with new innovations. We educate and motivate them to adopt our sustainability standards and challenge them to use these standards as a core principle in their business.
We strive to give our products a life-long durability and by doing so we aim to reduce the amount of material that is used to create a new product. That way we do what we love and that is to travel the world in a responsible way.
Is it waterproof?
Sometimes life gives you lemons, sometimes life gives you rain. Here in the Netherlands the latter happens quite often. We understand that rain is not the best start of your holidays and we can’t guarantee that the front pocket of your suitcase stays completely dry if you decide to take it for a swim. But don’t worry, it can resist a couple of minutes of rain without getting wet from the inside and water is easily wiped off.
Our entire bag collection is water resistant both inside and out.
How do I set my TSA lock?
Setting your lock is very easy, however please always write down the code you choose:
1. The default code is 0-0-0 and should be used to release the two zipper pullers from the lock.
2. Use a sharp element (a pen, paperclip or something similar) to press the reset button until it clicks.
3. Roll the digits and choose the code you would like to use.
4. Before closing, be absolute sure this is the code you would like to use and preferably write down the code as no one can open it afterwards anymore in case you lose it.
5. Slide the latch towards the dials.
6. The code is set and your belongings are safe.
Warranty
Before our products are shipped they are thoroughly tested to make sure they pass our extensive quality checks. We believe in our products and give a lifetime warranty on all our suitcases.
All bags have a 2 year warranty.
What to do when my suitcase is damaged by an airline carrier?
It is important to check your luggage when you take it from the luggage belt. When your suitcase or bag has been damaged during check-in, it is the responsibility of the carrier to take actions. They are insured against damages and should help you out where needed.
Free lifetime repairs
We always offer lifetime repairs on all suitcases and bags. So if something is wrong with your suitcase or bag, we will immediately repair it for you free of charge. The NORTVI suitcase is designed in such a way that it is very easy to replace, for example, the wheels or the telescope system.
