Carry-on has never looked this good. The Meridian 22" is your go-to: lightweight, crush-resistant, and built from chip-proof polycarbonate. With TSA-approved locking zippers, 360° wheels, interior compression straps, and mesh zip pockets, it’s ready to roll from the gate to the getaway. Bonus points for its water-resistant exterior and bold Sherpani colors that stand out at every terminal.

Did you just receive your Meridian and are trying to get it open? The Meridian comes unlocked; just slide the tab where the key would be inserted toward the zipper pullers. The zipper pullers will come out of their hold position, and you'll be able to get inside your bag.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between Black and Chromatic Black on the Meridian?
Chromatic Black features Sherpani's signature multicolor zipper pulls: a playful detail that makes it easy to identify on a baggage carousel and adds a pop of personality to a classic black suitcase. The standard Black has matching hardware for an all-black monochromatic look.
Is a black hard-shell carry-on practical for frequent travelers?
Very. Black is the best carry-on color for frequent use. Minor scuffs and wear are far less visible on black than on lighter colorways, which means less maintenance and a bag that always looks sleek and clean.
How do the 360° wheels perform on different airport surfaces?
The Meridian's 360° spinner wheels roll freely in any direction—forward, backward, and sideways—making it easy to navigate crowded terminals, tight spaces, and busy train stations. They’re exceptionally smooth on airport tile and polished surfaces. On rougher surfaces like cobblestones or outdoor pavements, tilting the bag slightly backward and pulling it like a traditional roller gives better control.

Reviews

My new travel companion

"I can't rave enough about the function of this roller bag! It fit everything I needed for a 4 day destination wedding, and it's durability, ease of use and separate compartments were a life saver during several flight disruptions (which seem to be the norm these days)."

— Jaime (5/5)

"Love everything Sherpani. High quality construction with thoughtful design from function to aesthetics! I’m a fan!! I bought my daugher the Meridian since I loved mine so much."

— Krista (5/5)

Holds so much and easy to find

"I used to take my bulky 29” soft sided luggage for annual 2-week trip. Not anymore! Sherpani’s 26” holds almost the same amount (I stopped over packing). It’s also super easy to spot on the baggage carousel because of the colorful zippers. Love this luggage. I noticed it is currently sold out. So happy I got mine just before it sold out!"
