Lavender Liz Claiborne Luggage
When my mom broke her right foot, and her left leg, she was hospitalized, and then transferred to a Nursing Care facility. This meant that I was constantly bringing gowns, toiletries, robes, and miscellaneous items from home. In addition to a large piece of rolling luggage, that I purchased to keep with her, I also needed a piece of luggage to bring things back and forth in. I have a torn rotator cuff (shoulder) and 2 bulging discs in my neck, so carrying heavy luggage was dangerous for me.
One day I decided to browse in TJ Maxx. I spotted this beautiful lavender, medium sized piece of luggage. But seeing that the name plate said, "Liz Claiborne", I hesitantly squinted with one eye, not ready to see what the price would be. The retail price was $200.00!!! Laughing out loud, I started to put it back on the shelf, when I spied the TJ Maxx price tag. I could not believe my eyes! It was $39.99. "No way," I thought, grabbing it back.
What a bargain it turned out to be! It has a push button telescopic handle and in line skate wheels--great for long hospital halls, or airports. The inside lining is a gorgeous light blue. It has a side carrying handle, and a top carrying handle in the area of the expandable grip.
A really nice feature that I love is a removable, washable laundry bag with a drawstring--great for transporting items home, that need to be washed. It also has several zipper compartments inside, and a detachable plastic cosmetics bag. In addition, it has 2 outside pockets for those last minute items, and expandable zippers for ease in closing. The outside material is a washable nylon fabric, and it even has a 10 year warranty.
I could not be happier with my cheery, lavender, Liz Claiborne, rolling luggage!

A great buy at that price, and with a 10 year warrenty you can't go wrong.
What a great find! And it sounds like it has really met your need and looks lovely too.
I just love TJ Maxx, sounds like a terrific piece of luggage and perfect for your needs.
T. J. Maxx has some really good deals, this is one of them.
You found a truly great buy! Froggy loves these deep discounts:) I love the whole description of the bag, and its many thoughtful amenities. You'll be using this one for a very long time.
Great find! It sounds like you found a perfect bag for taking care of things for your mom.And I probably would have bought it just for the color! How unusual to find lavendar colored luggage.
Sorry that happened to your mom. Your back condition also sounds painful. On another note entirely, I love TJ Maxx and your lavender luggage sounds very pretty.
