Our take on the Ricardo Beverly Hills Melrose Hardside Check

The Melrose is a 26.5-inch hardside checked suitcase from Ricardo Beverly Hills, built from a polycarbonate alloy shell with four spinner wheels, a telescoping handle and a TSA-approved lock. It expands about 2 inches for extra packing room and splits into two compartments, including a large wet pocket for damp or dirty items. At 9.7 lb it is on the heavier side for its size. At $89.99 at JCPenney as of November 3, 2026, it sits well below what a hardside check bag from a known luggage brand usually costs.

Best forTravelers checking one bag for a week-long tripShoppers who want a hardside shell at a budget pricePeople who pack toiletries or wet items separatelyFliers who want a built-in TSA lock

Pros

Polycarbonate alloy shell resists cracking better than plain ABS
Expands about 2 inches when a trip runs long
TSA-approved lock is built in, no padlock needed
Two compartments plus a large wet pocket keep contents organized
Four spinner wheels roll upright and take weight off the wrist

Cons

9.7 lb empty is heavy before you pack anything
26.5 inches is close to the large-checked limit on some airlines
Zipper closure rather than a frame or aluminum shell
Polyester lining and basic wheels are not premium-grade
