I'm getting new luggage soon (just a carry-on and personal item) and want to hear from some LUGGAGE MASTERMEN (and MASTERWOMEN?) about which luggage brand is the best. I don't want to spend ten fucking trillion dollars on Briggs and Riley...there's gotta be something cheaper that's still really good, right? Don't most people just get Tumi or whatever and call it a day?
Also, I'm used to two wheels. Are four-wheel spinners for CUCKS, or do they have legitimate advantages over two-wheeled luggage?

I have one of their backpacks. Have had it over 10 years, use it every day for laptop and gym gear and shopping and everything, have given it a real regular beating over many years, and it’s still in perfect shape.

it’s the Swiss company that makes the Swiss Army knives, they branched out to luggage and other shit on the premise that they will make that other shit just as indestructible as they make their knives, and the backpack and carry on case I have both fit that bill

furk i shld look for one, maybe even the rip off ones in asia are good, i got a rip off north face backpack for $18 in saigon, its ok and some of this shit is actually just rejected actual factory inventory but i still need something ebtter

i had a laptop bag from them ~5 years ago and it was solid, i like the name of the brand, held up for a few years. not exactly premium construction but fine value
They got Asian cred now and the prices are insane.
I would never want one because of how people baby them so they keep looking new. I don’t want to have to be precious with a suitcase. Also have wife and kids who cannot take care of anything (and typically don’t fly first/business when traveling with family so no assurance that I can carryon).

Briggs & Rileymo here after years of lower-tier Samsonite/Amazon shit. Order it from Costco Next. Don’t overthink it. Only comparable option is TravelPro but who wants the same luggage as FAs making $28k?

Is Travelpro fine if I don't really care about fashion/image that much? The pilots and flight attendants use it, I figure that's a pretty good testament to its quality.

My theory is that luggage like diamonds or sunglasses is kike flame cause of monopolies and the ease of fooling goys
Most luggage is the same shit, made in the same Chink sweatshop. Its just branded by X comp and marketed as superior. The reality is if you travel the entire year most of this shit from Samsonite to whatever else is bullshit and will get destroyed.
The comps get arnd this because most Goys are only traveling 3-4 times a year so it will take many years for their luggage to fail. The comps can have "10 year warranties" or whatever but it doesnt matter because Goys wont use it enough and even if they do if u read the terms it has all sorts of exclusions for usual "wear and tear" or "misuse" etc.
I recently had an American Tourister handle break and thought abt taking it into get free fix but then I read the terms and was like LOL dont bother. Since I travel year round I've just accepted I will need to buy a new suitcase once or twice a year. I bought a $58 Desley now and we'll see how long it lasts.
There's prob some really good luggage that the flight attendants and pilots use, but it also cld be BS cause their comps prob just replace it if it breaks so u never hear abt it being shitty. I really think its almost impossible to make bullet proof luggage

Attendants and pilots use Travel Pro, which is what I'm thinking of getting (also seems reasonably priced). You are right that "high-end" luggage is probably like a lot of other luxury goods--made in the same facility as regular cheapo luggage, but has some additional adornments (a fancy leather handle, etc.) that allow it to be sold for several hundred dollars more.

the biggest things that can break in luggage are the wheels and handle and then rips in the case or the zipper giving out, i really wonder how "travelpro" is that much better. unless u had some new way of manufacturing shit i just dont believe it. if there are stats abt breakage it wld be nice but i bet travelpro intentionally sells cheap luggage to airlines for the PR, it wld be a great marketing trick
really, chinks will figure this out soon and make some 180 case that is indestructible
just looking at the pics of travelpros, the wheels look like the same shit, the soft cover is the same shit, how is this better? who actually proved this is better? its just brandname cause flight attendants get it for free?

You've made some observations in this thread about problems with luggage, how they all use cheap wheels, etc. but I scrolled back through and I don't think you actually recommended anything. Is there a luggage company that isn't using the same cheap, breakable wheels and other cheap parts? There's got to be like, some high-quality luggage manufacturers who aren't using cheap plasticky wheels from a Chinese sweatshop, right?

I'm not an expert, mostly hear to listen to the mastermen. I had a briggs and riley carry on that I didn't realize was expensive, was second hand. It felt high quality, and lasted a few years, but then broke (my fault packing it too full and forcing it). Tumi stuff seems great but really expensive. I would try travelpro because as mentioned it's what you see aircraft staff use and I'm not trying to flex on anyone with my luggage branding.

If even the good ones break after a couple years, why not just buy $100 no-name suitcases from Amazon or Target or wherever? Luggage always seemed like flame to me.

Agreed for carry on luggage.
For briefcase or laptop bags, I could sort of understand getting a Tumi if I lived in NYC or someplace walkable where I was touching it a lot. But in real life, I have a Targus brand bag from Best Buy and it works great, and I'll buy another one whenever it breaks

(Not a Goy)
This is what Ive realized traveling non stop Ive bought $15 suitcases in ghetto Asian markets to semi nice brands and its all the same shit. They never last if u use them enough. Its all made in the same chink factory, just branded differently. Ive yet to see ANY luggage that seemed it was made with a much higher quality to justify these inflated insane $150 prices or whtever. The warranties are all total bullshit with tons of exclusions
The cold hard nigga truth is its hard to make a indestructible suitcase, no one has done this apparently. These comps like Samsonite just maek money off Goys being stupid as shit
hot take here, but anything with a mass-produced label on it seems inherently trashy to some extent. think blacks going buckwild and ruining gucci for all the shrewy women that used to love it. it's probably better to spend more and find an artisan to make a luggage set that is yours and only yours. if there is a trademark, hopefully it will be unrecognizable to even the snobbiest of bag snobs. that's how elite your shit is.

bespoke stuff is probably out of my price range but that does sound like a cool idea. i would wonder if one-of-a-kind luggage is more likely to get stolen though.

I'm a samsonitemo, but, will upgrade to briggs and riley when the opportunity presents itself. I am definitely a function over form type when it comes to luggage

I would avoid Rimowa...my wife wanted Rimowa luggage because woman and it is very low quality. In the first 12-14mo she had it the lock smashed open and deformed while in transit multiple times and it had to go back to the shop for repairs. I've had my BR and Tumi for 10+ years, obviously they get a lot of use and no problems ever. Since LVMH acquired Rimowa they upped prices and slashed quality. If you're set on Rimowa because of the aesthetics, look at buying a second hand piece from pre-merger when they actually built them to last.

the actual best luggage is probably going to come from gun doods, most of it is too tactical looking to use, but they usually have a few pieces that are basically just black and those doods do actually care about things like stitching, material weight etc etc
For carry on/personal item I think it makes sense to buy one of the luxe brands. You'll take care of it and it'll last. For checked baggage it's gonna get fucked up no matter what, we just use cheap Samsonite

Prole here but away bags have always worked well for me. I travel fairly frequently, they're cheap and relatively indestructible and if they do get damaged... well they're cheap.
Downside is literally 1/2 the ppl in the airport have them these days.
Looked at tumi but could never really figure out the basis for the price premium.
