With the beginning of modern travel culture, the demand for large overseas suitcases decreased. For train, car and finally airplane travels, smaller pieces of luggage were asked for; today, carry-on baggage formats and trolleys are everyday items. With the outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic, travelling came to an abrupt end; all trips abroad had to be cancelled. During the lockdown, the handy companions were mutating to remnants of carefree times—and even more so, with regards to climate change, they can be seen as memorials of climate-hostile budget flights.
