Briggs and Riley luggage set from 2009. It’s also the fanciest, most expensive thing I own. I’ve been to many countries and hundreds of trips with those beasts. I love them so much. A handle came off once (not the main handle but a side one) about 10 years after purchase. The bags have a lifetime warranty and the bag handle was repaired and replaced within a week. Especially impressive, because they don’t even sell the color bags I have anymore. Haven’t for at least 5 years at that point.

People always ask me what luggage I recommend. If you anticipate traveling a lot over the course of your lifetime—not just internationally, but between states to visit family, weekend trips, etc.—you should (if possible, of course) save up and purchase the bags you need from Briggs and Riley. I have never owned or needed luggage from anywhere else in my adult life.

I love Briggs and Reilly. I’ve had the same briefcase since 2005. It looks almost brand new. Certainly, doesn’t look like it’s been all over the world and used daily for 18 years. I’ve since switched all my luggage to Riggs and Reilly. Not only is the product stellar but the warranty and customer service are great. I’ve only had to use the warranty once for a manufacturer defect (missing screw). Prior to that I had Travel Pro aircrew luggage. It was also really good but not quite the same. In between, I bought regular tourist quality stuff and it sucked. Saving money upfront is always the best way to actually save money.

Yes! Their stuff and my kitchenaid mixer are the most “Buy It For Life” things I own!
