Luggage suggestion?

Rimowa for the win. Yun lang. Biyak palagi. Always claim ka pa for the airline to get reimbursed for the damage.

For Check-in bags.

Samsonite -> American Tourister -> Kamiliant
All under 1 company...

Had a conversation with a Samsonite guy once...

All the best/newest tech goes to Samsonite, years later it will go to American Tourister... and years later, will go to Kamiliant

So if you can't afford a Samsonite now, go for a mid-range American Tourister... or Kamiliant if you're on a budget.

For Carry-on

Xiaomi for my daughter

Kamiliant was initially introduced in India around 2016.

mas masarap yata balibagin yung high end, dahil mas magaan sila.

Personally, problem ko sa Rimowa is since Aluminum-Magnesium yung material nya, cute lang kapag bago... kapag nagkaroon ng dent/bangga, pangit na tignan (and masakit n asa bulsa)

think of it like this:
hindi na pag-i-interesan kapag may tama na.
and you won't have to hold your breath at the airport baggage claim conveyor belt anymore.

when we travel,
wifey takes the nicer-looking bag.
i intentionally take the worse-looking bag.

Rimowa or Tumi for hand-carry. Was choosing between these two models (Rimowa Essential vs Tumi Latitude):




Similar SRP at $600 (PH pricing closer to 45k though). Rimowa has a more classic design although the Essential looks plain compared to the higher-end aluminum Classic.

Tumi looks edgier and the case is scratch-resistant, plus easily identifiable with the your initials engraved.

Clincher was that Tumi was on sale at 60% off while Rimowa was only 10% off. It's like getting a Tumi for the price of a Samsonite.

For check-in, Samsonite. Has to be durable enough to get thrown around but not too expensive. American Tourister is good too if you're on a budget. Feels flimsier than Samsonite but should be more durable than mall brands.

Left-field option - Muji. Almost same price as Samsonite though but a good alternative if you want something different.

If you're on a tight budget the Xiaomi luggage actually looks durable and decent for the same price as dep store luggage.

Best to buy luggage abroad, much cheaper than PH. Most I got with a local purchase was 25% off with Samsonite. American Tourister offers 30% discount every now and then. Compared when you buy abroad where 50% discounts are pretty common.

Not all Rimowas are aluminum. The Essential line is polycarbonate.
