Definitely wanted to check this out. Going on B A this summer; so far here is the website info. Looks like we are all OK without buying new for now...

Size and weight of your hand baggage

1 x cabin bag	1 x personal bag
56cm x 45cm x 25cm (22in x 18in x 10in) including handles, pockets and wheels.	45cm x 36cm x 20cm (18in x 14in x 8in) including handles, pockets and wheels.
Maximum weight per bag is up to 23kg (51lbs). You must be able to fit your bags into the baggage gauge at check in. Any items you purchase at the airport, including duty free, form part of your hand baggage allowance. If you go over your allowance of 2 bags, you may have to check in one of your extra bags, for which there may be a charge. Occasionally we may not have space to stow all hand baggage safely on board and you may be asked to check in some or all of your hand baggage at the boarding gate. Please make sure your hand baggage is within the size and weight limits shown, otherwise you will be charged for extra baggage.

Just checked the LV size roll abords...all too big for the "new" standards, for those that have them. My Briggs might be too big, too. But the article said that these are suggested guidelines. If you go on the little intraEurope planes like Alitalia, you will need something A LOT smaller..had to buy a new bag for that. (Lipault..light and easy and inexpensive!)
