looking. Although it may be a bit costly, it should not be unattainable. Maybe it may seem a little extravagant if you are looking to purchase a Louis Vuitton leather bag, but there are plenty of brands that are still designer and affordable too. For example, according to a recent Consumer Reports’ article, the Delsey luggage carry on bag (which retails for approximately $67.00) outperformed many other brands when it was tested for durability and inside space.
These discount luggage pieces, made of nylon, aluminum or leather, will be just as durable and good looking to take along with you on your journey.
Just by going to any Costco or Sam’s Club (if you have the membership), you can find some great deals, especially if it’s a long weekend. If it’s not a sale day, then try to purchase the floor (or “demo”) model, which will be offered at a considerably low price and is usually just as good as a fresh new piece out of the box (with the exception of a few thousand fingerprints that are invisible to the naked eye). If your total budget does not allow you to buy the entire set, then just buy 1 or 2 bags from the set now and wait a few more months to purchase the remaining bags from the set. If you tend to travel light or are only going away for a few days, you may consider simply buying a carry on bag with a smaller luggage suitcase.
All the famous brands make their luggage sets as a standard offering and allow you to purchase individual pieces from the set. Thus, if you are on a tight budget, you might consider buying 2 pieces now and then save up to spend it on the remaining luggage pieces in the same set (so at least you can have them match).
