What luggage brands do you use?

I am curious why no one mentioned Tumi. We have been using Tumi almost exclusively for the past 20 years and are very pleased with them. We bought all from the outlet stores with good discounts. I have to admit that I’m a bit surprised with the prices on our recent trips to the stores. They seemed to have gone up quite a bit.

I recently switched from Tumi ($$$$) to July ($$).

July is similar to Away. It's a high-quality hard-side, very light weight, lots of color choices, and two special features--lifetime warranty (assuming they stay in business) and a unique high-capacity ejectable battery.

I used Tumi for many years and had been happy. Seems like quality has gone down and I they wanted to start charging for repairs. Shipping cost even on warranty. I travel a lot and the Tumi suitcases would break every 6 months to a year. I switched to Briggs and Riley and have had no issues for a few years. I hope to not have issues with Briggs and Riley warranty as Tumi.

i believe Samsonite purchased Tumi in 2016. This might be when I started to have issues. Samsonite is the parent company for both Tumi and American Tourister.
