10 Great Luggage Pieces at Every Price Point with an Affordable Carryon @waitingonmartha

I am such a sucker for a pretty piece of luggage.  And lately I’ve really, really wanted a new, but affordable carryon and maybe a stylish duffel to add to my collection.  

I’m going to blame Instagram and MKR’s last travel post for that; everyone is always traveling somewhere amazing with a sharp suitcase in tow!  And with all of my travel coming up this summer I’ve decided it’s time I invest in a few pieces that will hopefully last a lifetime.  

So if you’ve been itching to upgrade your travel game lately too, you’ll appreciate this list of ten luggage pieces at every price point.  Please note the affordable carryon options and the suitcase that can charge your phone!  

The reviews don’t lie, and Samsonite, Away, Tumi, Bric’s, Mark & Graham and other brands are worth noting when it comes to dependable and stylish luggage.  And how can I not mention Sole Society for their vegan leather duffel bag that’s a cult-favorite?!  

And while I’m all for getting the most bang for your buck, luggage is one of those items that’s worth the investment. If you buy the right piece it will last a lifetime.  Plus well known brands like Samsonite usually have a lifetime or at least multi year guarantee which is worth looking into.

Keep on reading below for a more detailed take on all of these great pieces of luggage, and be sure to share any of your personal favorites in the comments below.  Cheers, Kat
