Koferi

Koferi, often referred to as suitcases or luggage, are containers designed for carrying personal belongings during travel. Typically rectangular in shape, they are constructed from various materials including hard plastics like polycarbonate or ABS, soft fabrics such as nylon or polyester, and sometimes leather. Their primary function is to protect the contents from damage and keep them organized.

Modern koferi commonly feature a wheeled design, with two or four spinner wheels for easy maneuverability. Many also include retractable telescopic handles that extend for pulling and retract to be flush with the luggage for compact storage. The interior of a kofer is usually divided into compartments or secured with straps to prevent items from shifting during transit.

The history of koferi is closely tied to the evolution of travel. Early forms of luggage were simple bags or chests. As travel became more common and comfortable, particularly with the advent of trains and later airplanes, specialized luggage designed for durability, security, and ease of transport emerged. The development of lightweight yet strong materials has significantly influenced the design and functionality of koferi, making them an indispensable part of modern travel. Sizes and types vary widely, from small carry-on bags to large checked luggage, catering to different travel durations and needs.
