Could anybody explain what is the purpose of having 'brand' luggage in cabin and in general?

If you have luxury brand luggage checked in, it significantly increases chances that it will be stolen/break in. I have first hand experience with my friend who had fake LV suitcase, bought somewhere in HKG. After second trip the suitcase was slashed with knife and everything inside turned upside down.

I personally have one criteria for luggage, checked or carry-on - it should be as light as possible to allow carry more stuff for allowable 7/10kg. My wife about 5 years ago ordered set of 4 such suitcases for US $240. Surprisingly they still run strong. One of the best travel related purchases ever.

Need a new big check-in luggage, any recommendations? I have a Delsey cabin luggage at the moment.

I just hoot 2 IT 27" for like usd$115. Like yourself light weight is important. Brand is for show unless I can find them real cheap I not getting a branded one

If I fly once a week I would have gotten Briggs and Riley, but I travel only once every month or so.

Rimowa hand assembled right? Hand made - case machine made operated with hands of course

I think it's more QC issue not hand made issue. Just an excuse to have lame QC

Such brands offer lifetime warranty don't boast hand made in 1st world country

frankly if u are heading to US or Europe and only need the luggage on the way back to sg, i suggest buy overseas. The prices of samsonite, delsey are much lower than sg prices.

I got a shock when i saw a hardshell samsonite at 6xx here which i recalled europe was selling for less than €200

If go to tj max or Marshalls lucky can find for usd$100

Asia distributors for samsonite really take us for fools.. Frankly $6xx for a samsonite is crazy.

Well you cannot blame them, the cost of having warehouse? Renting retail space, electric and other utilities cost $. Our demand also smaller driving up cost.

Better doesn't really need to be crazy expensive.

If you going usa.. bring 1 ugly bag. Reach there shop dump the old one. Go visit any ross,marshall, tjmaxx for good deals. I bought calvin klien luggage from ross at $70.

Ugly ok but need to be sturdy
US airport baggage handlers very rough.. Anyhow throw. Got a few luggages damaged by them already

Thanks, I may need to do a long stay (few months) in the US so mainly is for clothing and such. So probably need a large luggage for the bulk of the stuff and a handcarry for the personal items.
