Is there any good luggage out there?

I have been searching for a new carry-on bag for a while. Unfortunately, I have not had much luck finding a good replacement for my Rimowa. Last week I finally purchased “The Carry-on” from Carl Friedrik. I didn’t care that it had been featured on Succession and White Lotus, I liked the interior with a single compression panel on one side and the option to purchase another compression panel on the other side, the handle with infinite stops (so you can pull it up exactly as high as you want it), and really nice wheels. When the suitcase showed up, I knew I had to return it. The size in comparison with my Rimowa is obvious. Now, I probably wouldn’t get hassled on a US airline, but I could easily see an international carrier giving me a hard time if I tried to carry this on (ignore the dust, I haven’t used the Rimowa in over a year because it’s broken). So, the Carl Friedrik was returned. But what do I do now? There is very little hard-sided luggage out there that has compression panels…
