THE FUSE

I didn’t have a trip to Europe on my bingo card for this year, but when I got the opportunity to fly to Berlin for work (hello, IFA 2026!) I jumped at the chance. I decided to extend the trip by a few days to get some sightseeing in before coming home, turning what would have been a six-day trip into a 10-day stay — which is kind of a huge difference if you’re a carry-on-only traveler, like I am. Long story short: I packed everything I needed without checking my luggage and was able to cram in a few souvenirs on my flight home. And I don’t think it would’ve been possible without Quince’s Expandable Carry-On Suitcase.
