Not only have I never bought a suitcase (i know), I’ve actually been using my parents’ old, brown, heavy-as-shit suitcases ever since I was little. Until I went to PFW this season and almost reached the weight limit on both of my bags, I never thought of buying any for myself. That changed. Not only are contemporary (i.e. not from 1980) suitcases not 25 pounds empty, brands like Away have changed the game in terms of design and function. Since every single person I follow already has an Away bag, I figured I’d show you some alternatives. These hopefully fit every price point and even include one under $100:
CALPAK 22-Inch Rolling Suitcase, $145
CALPAK X JEN ATKIN Trunk, $385
HIDEO WAKAMATSU Tarpaulin Carry-On, $209
OLLI ELLA See-Ya Suitcase Rose, $85
GLOBE TROTTER X The Goring 20 Suitcase, $2,500
HORIZON STUDIOS Model-H Medium Check In Suitcase, $385
CRASH BAGGADE Icon 55cm Cabin Suitcase, $225
