Yes! Quality, customer service, availability, usability. These are all factors that you should consider before shelling out approximately $200.00 plus shipping.
Tired of schlepping around all that gear, shoes, make-up, accessories, garment bags etc. etc. in multiple different bags? If not, you will be. Once you get to the point where you can no longer tolerate not being able to find what you want at any given moment because you have so many back packs and bags that it's driving you to the point of, well you know, ugh! Once you see a dancer rolling in with "A" bag, one bag, which carries everything, yeah, you're finally going to jump onto the band wagon and get one of the bags that are currently available on the market.
Dance Tower |
Here are just a few Rac N Roll, Dream Duffel, Dance Tower, Diva Dolly, Dance Star ,Rack Monsters, Glam'r Gear. The first two bags are almost identical. There's a reason for this. For more information you can read my blog titled, Rac N Roll vs. Dream Dufflel. The Dance Tower, Dance Star, Rack Monsters and Glam'r gear bags, are a completely different twist altogether. Diva Dolly and the Dance Star which are both an all in one trunk style with drawers. The Pliante' is a collapsible style bag. There are a couple more bags out there, which I have yet to get my hands on before I can comment on them. There are lots of styles and price points. Prices range from $135-400. Factory 2nds are a good option and always carry the same warranty as a new bag. Minor flaws on the exterior or interior is a typical reason for a 2nd being offered. Scratches, bumps and bruises will always occur with use, so a 2nd should be considered.

All of the bags, of course, have some sort of internal telescoping rack system, hence my coined phrase "rolling closet." Each bag has it's own unique rack system.
Diva Dolly |
Rac N Roll dance bag has a far better rack system then the Dream Duffel. The Dance Tower is one my favorite bags and is a top rated contender. The Diva Dolly is a very cool product. Again, you can refer to the other blog Compare Dance bags .
In regards to customer care, all of the above mentioned companies provide great customer service and warranties.
Rack Monsters Quattro |
Rack Monsters Grande |
Glam'r Gear. I would describe this bag as a rolling dressing room. An optional curtain which attaches via velcro straps onto a pull out u-shaped rod system is what sets this bag apart from all of the other bags out there. This bag also allows the lid cover to close completely while the side rods are exposed. Similar style bags cannot be zippered shut when the rack is in place. There is a side pouch with a strap locking system to hold a chair in place on the exterior. The rack has 3 adjustable heights and an insert piece to stabilize and support the rack. There are interior and exterior pockets and storage compartments to store all of your shoes and accessories. This bag has a 4 wheel system allowing you to push or pull the bag. Currently available in Black and Glitter Pink.
