A suitcase comprising:
- at least one outer surface, wherein an additional layer is arranged on said outer surface, said additional layer having the same outer dimensions as the outer surface, said additional layer having at least one three-dimensional protrusion pre-formed therein by a thermoforming process, wherein the outer surface has at least one raised portion provided thereon which matches the shape of the at least one three-dimensional protrusion pre-formed in the additional layer, the additional layer being arranged on the outer surface such that the at least one three-dimensional raised portion arranged on the outer surface is situated beneath the at least one three-dimensional protrusion of the additional layer,
- wherein the at least one raised portion of the outer surface comprises at least two stacked and joined layers having varying widths matching the shape of a corresponding pre-formed protrusion in the additional layer, and
- wherein the additional layer is adhered to the outer surface and the raised portion of the outer surface comprising at least two stacked and joined layers.
