What are people doing with suitcases so they don't last?

I have a couple of old ones that cost about £20 each over 20 years ago that have been used dozens of times including dragging over cobbles and going in the hold and they're still in good condition. I wish they would fall apart so I could justify replacing them.

I do also have the American Tourister one from Costco but it's a bit too small for anything more than a weekend so I'm now looking for something that's as big as Jet2 max cabin dimensions but also expands so it can work as a bigger hold case as its often not much more to put 20 kg in a Ryanair hold than 10 kg in the cabin. But I also want fairly lightweight so the luggage doesn't take up too much of the allowance.

The IT luggage is excellent for the price and we'll designed so it fits a lot in for the dimensions and seems perfectly durable despite the lightweight.
