High-quality luggage
Posted on 8/11/26 at 7:02 pm
Posted on 8/11/26 at 7:02 pm
Looking to get a nicer carry-on bag that will last a long time. Looking particularly at Ridge and their carry-on is $400.
Does anyone have Ridge luggage and is it worth it?
Does anyone have a different luggage brand that they love?
Just want something with four wheels that could last the rest of my life.
TIA

We have had Briggs & Riley for 30+ years, has always been solid. I, on the other hand, prefer leather duffles…

Tumi is pretty good, used to have a lifetime warranty on their luggage but their current 5 year policy is pretty all-inclusive

If you travel a lot and want true lifetime luggage, then Briggs and Riley or Travelpro Platinum Elite. Both will fix them for life even if the airline breaks them, B&G doesn't even require registration or proof of purchase.

Tumi makes some good stuff and they offer replacement parts

I’m all Tumi and travel pros top line. Been all over the US and world with them and my only complaint is that my right Tumi strap is stretched out because I one arm carry it 99% of the time. They’ll fix it but I have to send it back and that’s just hard to do since I live out of that thing.

I travel a lot. 12-24 weeks a year all on planes.
I had an eye opening experience in 2018. Went to china for a manufacturing expose, ALL and I mean ALL of luggage you see is made in the same province of china. Louis Vuitton, Goyard, Gucci, Rimowa, Riggs, Tumi, Samsonite- all those internal parts come from the same 5-6 manufacturers in china just have a different skin/shell. I have a $100 bag from Amazon that has lasted me 4 years and I’ll get another one when it dies. Zero reason to pay for quality luggage. My wife wants that away luggage and I chuckled and said it’s the same as the stuff you see at TJ Maxx just a different molding and they forced a battery pack you don’t need into it.

eBags, which was bought by Samsonite. Inexpensive, and I have rollers that have logged 800k miles worth of flights, cobblestones, stairs, etc., that I'm still using after 15 years. I lost one wheel off of a 26" because of the airline, and eBags shipped me an entire wheel assembly.

Early in my career I sprung for a travel pro carry-on. 30 years later, and I am still using the same bag. Once, I had to send it in for some work and they refurbished the whole bag! If I had it to do all over again, I would do exactly the same thing.
If you see airline pilots using them, they can’t be all that bad!

Bought my wife a Nobl rolling carry on and a weekender bag and she loves it.

TravelPro Platinum Elite has a lifetime warranty and I know people that has had them for 30 years. Mine is about 2 years old and looks brand new still.

My carry-on is a vintage Holland Brothers bag made in San Francisco. Probably 40 years old. I don't think you could tear it up. They don't make them anymore, but companies make similar bags. LINK same as this one. I have the original leather shoulder strap, though. I can get 3 days worth of clothes in there easy.

One can very easily found Briggs & Riley on eBay that has been used only once or twice for about 1/3 the retail price. B&R is phenomenal stuff; lifetime warranty, no questions asked. Superior to Tumi, IMO.

USA made Filson.
Ebay is your friend.

Looks like Ref Oxx is what Filson used to be.
