I've got a hard shell regular size carry on from them that I like but I'm thinking of picking up a smaller bag for 1-2 day work trips.

Why do you hate me, Sammich?

then this happened, and I hadn't heard much from/about them in years.

I want to break it up
I want to smash it up
I want to #### it up
I want to watch it come down

new is relative. but it's been trendy since pre-pandemic*

I don't travel a whole lot, but I've had their luggage for almost 10 years and they've held up well*
