For only $130, Quince’s roomy polycarbonate shell carry-on has 360-degree spinner wheels, a sturdy aluminum telescopic trolley handle with soft rubber for comfort, interior compression panels, TSA-approved locks and a removable laundry bag. The capacity offers enough space for six to nine outfits, and there’s a 18-by-12.5-inch interior pocket for storage.

Tumi 19 Degree Large Extended Trip Check-In Spinner
$839 $1,050 20% off
For the serious traveler with a little extra cash to spend, we suggest Tumi, more specifically Tumi’s Extended Trip collection, lugged by tastemakers including Rosie Huntington-Whiteley. We love the instantly iconic contoured shell and this washed yellow colorway (although it’s also available in black).
Ready for anything, this durable and expandable rolling suitcase’s design also incorporates recycled materials, making this both a sleek and sustainable choice. Tumi has a “worry-free” first-year warranty that covers damages during your first 12 months of ownership; from years two through five, it will repair manufacturing defects and normal wear and tear.

Away The Carry On
One of the best luggage brands with a lifetime guarantee, Away is known for revolutionizing the suitcase game with its affordable luxury travel essentials through a direct-to-consumer business model. We’re fans of the versatile Carry On, as seen with famous travelers including Lily James and Irina Shayk. Available in a plethora of great hues, this hard shell is Away’s signature style, but if luggage with a soft exterior is more your speed, be sure to check out Away’s first-ever Softside Luggage collection.

Calpak Terra 35L Soft-Sided Carry-On
$161.25 $215 25% off
Celebrity hair guru Jen Atkin is no stranger to style, which is why many followed her to Calpak when she collaborated with the brand on a bestselling pink carry-on a few years back. While that collab has sold out, you can still snag this similar colorway in Calpak’s beloved soft-sided luggage made with recycled materials.

The fashionable Bellagio Spinner includes an ergonomic three-position adjustable handle, matching shell, interior lining with Herringbone patterned divider and a protected water-repellent zip with TSA-approved combo locks. The leather trimming details give this case that high-end feel. Bric’s covers its wheeled products under a five-year warranty.
best lifetime warranty
Briggs & Riley Baseline Essential 2 Wheel Carry On Suitcase
A travel essential of Emmy-winning star Marisa Tomei, Briggs & Riley’s Baseline Essential carry-on boasts the brand’s convenient one-touch CX expansion buttons that instantly increases your packing capacity. The built-in tri-fold garment folder lets you pack away one to two suits sans wrinkles, and two mesh lid zip pockets let you organize your stuff as efficiently as possible. On top of all of that, it’s covered under the brand’s unconditional lifetime guarantee, which means your bag will be repaired free of charged if it gets damaged or breaks (“no proof of purchase needed, no questions asked,” says the company.)
BEST SPLURGE
Rimowa Essential Cabin Suitcase
Rimowa is the crème de la crème of high-end luggage, becoming an absolute travel essential for on-the-go stars, including Julianne Moore, Kylie Jenner, Elle Fanning, Cara Delevingne and Jessica Alba. Gigi Hadid has been spotted with Rimowa’s Essential Cabin style a few times, no doubt appreciating its distinctive look and the lighter weight polycarbonate (over the classic aluminum).
Beyond this model, Rimowa offers multiple color and design options, including that signature aluminum exterior for added durability and luxury. Plus, the brand covers all products under a limited lifetime warranty.
BEST DUFFLE BAG
Florentine Medium Duffle
$479 $708 32% off
Few companies do leather bags quite as well as Dooney & Bourke, and the Connecticut-based accessories brand delivers on all fronts with its classic Florentine Leather Duffle Bag. As the name suggests, this unisex weekender is crafted from soft and supple Italian leather, with brushed gold-tone hardware and reinforced stitching. Measuring 21.5 by 13.5 inches in size, the bag is roomy enough for your clothes, shoes and toiletries, while small enough to throw in the backseat for a road trip, or in the overheard compartment on the plane.
What we like: interior and exterior pockets keep your essentials safely organized, while an included strap lets you wear this over the shoulder. Everything is made with exquisite attention to detail, from the handle wrap and tiny “feet” on the base (to prevent the bag from sitting on the floor) to the leather tanning process, which ensures remarkable depth of color while creating a beautiful, time-honored patina. Suitcases may be more common these days, but Dooney & Bourke’s duffle makes a case for carrying it old school.
most durable
Samsonite Freeform Large Spinner
$209.99 $299.99 30% off
The Freeform collection by Samsonite is the company’s ultra lightweight line, and has been updated with a more streamlined panel, an increased packing capacity and a double wheels design to increase maneuverability. Samsonite also offers a 10-year warranty, even though its products are acclaimed for their extreme durability.
