New suitcase weighs while you pack!


Cape Town - Have you ever picked up your 20kg, 4x2 meter suitcase, stepped on the scale to weigh it - and then not be able to see the numbers at your feet past the said 4x2 meter rectangle in your arms? 

Yes? Well... 

A new innovation to simplify the weight hassles of travelling might soon be available to the public, provided that the entrepreneur behind the project gets enough support. 

The TUL Thristrelie suitcase will have all the modern and luxury features seasoned travellers have come to expect. However, the suitcase will also able to weigh your luggage - even while you pack. 

The mastermind behind the TUL Thustrelie suitcase, known only as Knight, has called on the world to support his carefully weighed-out business plan. 

Take a look at Knight's pitch from the Kickstarter website. The site is dedicated to giving entrepreneurs a platform to pitch their ideas, and to help them gain funding.
