Ryanair may seem too good to be true with its relatable and gen z targeted marketing across all social media platforms, yet something can be seen creeping up on the company’s reputation, a little something worth €70.
However excited a passenger may feel about to board their €19 flight deal to London, there is nothing stopping those who hold the decision of letting you through to paradise, stopping you to put your bag in the Ryanair carry-on measurer. The dreaded invention decides the passengers fate where if the bag does not fit in the set dimensions, a fine will be coming their way in order to board the flight. This has caused an uproar on social media where passengers have recorded their bags fitting perfectly in the dimensions yet still receiving the fine. Other passengers have run into issues where the bag is marketed as a carry-on yet does not fit in the measurer.
To solve this issue, many brands have curated bags that are specifically for the Ryanair dimensions. Standing out of the crowd, is Seeking Judy’s newest range of travel and sling bags.
Handcrafted by Megan herself, Seeking Judy represents eccentric and eye catching materials by crafting them into multiple artistic fashion pieces. The brand has its own stall in George’s Arcade Dublin and also accepts online orders with a vibrant and unique website.
The designer’s new range of bags specifically fits the dimensions of 40 x 20 x 25cm, the precise measurements for the Ryanair carry-on checker. Multiple colours accommodated with rugged straps contribute to Seeking Judy’s fashionable iconography. A mesh net can be seen attached to both the travel bags and the slings with the logo precisely placed.
Seeking Judy would be a perfect addition to any fashion week with her loud and detailed crafting vision. The designer would be no stranger to such an event with her participation in Copenhagen Fashion Week 2024 and has been featured by powerhouse publications such as Vogue.
