AIBU to ask if you have noticed a shortage of suitcases?

[TedOnTheBed]

As above anybody else notice this? I have been trying to buy new luggage for summer holiday since before Christmas and the large/medium cases are permanently out of stock. The cabin cases and cabin bags are hit and miss some places have them one week but not then they are gone for weeks then back in stock. I want 3 large IT luggage divinity case in black quilted and rose gold with matching cabin bag, Dunelm have the bag at the moment but still can’t find the cases. At this point I would accept and IT luggage large case and bag as they are the lightest I can find so 3 large cases can hold our family of 5 belongings for 2 weeks.

So you're saying you want items from one specific quilted black and rose gold set?!

If it's not available, that is one thing being sold out, not 'a shortage of suitcases'. Maybe they're discontinuing that set or something.

If you need cases urgently, there are around 30 large and 30ish medium suitcases available on the John Lewis website right now?

Yes the one set I want is sold out permanently but all IT luggage brand seems permanently unavailable not just that colour.

@10HailMarys I just looked on John Lewis and when you filter it large cases says 54 choices but then most of them say out of stock, with an option to email when available. It seemed to be the same issue cabin bags/cases widely available large suitcases not so much.
