Default Convertible fitted luggage?

Hi All,
New to the forum, and just brought home my F Type. Loving it, to say the least! So the trunk (boot) is small, but I'm thinking there is somewhere I can find a fitted set of luggage to pack the maximum amount in the small space. Any thoughts, ideas, suggestions, comments or directions are very welcome?
Thanks to you all!

Expensive, but you can probably find cheaper on eBay.

I have it , it's ok. You have to pack it carefully for it all to fit right. Best for casual long weekend.

I can remember when the F-Type as introduced, and my long time Jag salesperson, said take a look at this, and opened the trunk (or rear glove box) and we both laughed out loud at the tiny space. I don't use the F for overnite trips and so the boot is really a non-issue for me at least as far as luggage is concerned. The spare tire issue is for another thread. If you nose around you will find a posting on another F Forum to the effect that the factory luggage really doesn't fit and there are better alternatives. But when I got mine and was thinking about the trunk capacity I was drawn to the detachable racks that can be put on the F. They looked well styled to me and reminded me of the Triumphs and other British cars of my youth that often had racks. If you look into them let us know what you conclude.

Two hand luggage bags fit, but only just!

You actually get a little more with fitted because of the wierd shaped pieces.

I should point out that a relatively significant percentage off the Vert's cargo capacity is in the narrow area under the cowl. That's where the fitted luggage does best.

Most important to me was the ability to pack my golf clubs. Easy, just remove your drivers and pack them loose nearest the stern, then lay the bag and shoes in. Otherwise we take another ride for my bride's needs.

This is only in jest, but this was the BEST 'Vert fitted luggage suggestion I have ever seen:

Sure but what will the bellman at the hotel think? Maybe a Vegas thing.

The doorman shouldn't complain (the bags have handles, after all).

They might expect to get less of a tip...
