Samsonite not good but since I pay only usd$60-70 for those big check in bags I can't complain about the quality. Even tumi is not good more branding

Rimowa is good but they expensive unless u from online from German retailers

Thank you patryn33
Think I'll go check out the Cuir Boutique @ Pyramid. Victorinox seems ok, not too expensive either. I just want a hassle-free cabin bag that can hold my ginormous office laptop

Just to update you guys, Cuir Boutique in Pyramid sells a few good brands (Barry Smith, Victorinox and Antler) with warranties up to 10 years (Antler). The prices can be negotiated a lot as well. I thought I got a good bargain - bought an Antler and Barry Smith for about RM770.

There is a Barry Smith outlet in Pyramid as well. They sell Barry Smith, Victorinox and Antler with similar discount rates, but Cuir Boutique gave further discounts.

Victorinox had the exact cabin bag that I was looking for but unfortunately it was RM1.5k++.

I generally like luggages made by American Tourister or Antler. They come with 10 years warranty, and generally on 30-50% off sales at Metro and Parkson.
A dodgy luggage can be a surefire way to ruin a holiday experience if they break on the way to your destination - even if you are covered by travel insurance.

For short trips, I generally like the 50L hybrids (roller with shoulder straps). This size means you don't need to check it in. These can generally be found from any reputable camping store.

Victorinox carries a lifetime limited warranty which is why so costly.
Antler is a good choice, can't say that with barry Smith.

Hi Guys,

I'm looking for check in luggage bag and hoping to get one during this sales. Any suggestion where is the best place to get genuine and good price hard side light luggage in KL ... As for now, no budget and open for any reliable brand

Thanks

Hi Mod

Not sure if this is the correct section for the post, if not kindly move it to the appropriate area.

Thanks Mod

first.. u have to decide if you want zip type or clam shell type.
clam shell type usually is harder due to the design.
but hard also means you cannot expand much when you are overloaded with clothes or stuff.

if you are loaded = go for samsonite, rimowa, tumi.
american tourister is the budget version of samsonite.

i have used antler, delsey, valentino creations, all of them is working fine so far. but all my bags only dated around 10 years max. but i spent like average 20 ~ 30 trips per year to middle east and eu.

my aunt samsonite which has lasted her around 20 years now and it is still going strong.

Thanks Kons but do you know if there is any retail/outlet or online shop selling with reasonable/sales price at the moment ?

Luggage sales everywhere.. you will see it in many malls in Klang Valley.. Anyway, no recommnedation from me as I'm more on backpack rather than heavier luggages...Backpack.. lighter and much more suitable for those budget airlines with weight limitation

Yea, backpack is good until I have 2 kids cant really use backpack with 2 young one now
Also I will only be back after CNY, hope to get some friend to buy it so I can pick up later

I just bought a Barry Smith 20" carry on hardside roller bag for RM156 after discount at Isetan exactly 8 days ago, brought it walking all over Seoul on my first day I arrived and after a week it's still in decent shape. For the price I highly recommend it. Isetan and Parkson both had decent sales for luggage, American Tourister had a very nice 20" carry on that looked bigger but it was RM400 and I couldn't afford it.

However if you have a choice, get a roller bag with 2 larger wheels at each corner ie. Rimowa style wheels. Of course if you don't have a price limit and can get a Rimowa then by all means go for it.

Isetan KLCC got a huge discount! from RM129 and above

I would like to know if 24" luggage bag can be use as hand carry for domestic flight to LAngkawi?

i have experienced using camel 28" and survived for 13 years. travel to australia, us, europe, hk and many parts of the world. maybe not as good as samsonite but now was thinking either to again buy camel or to buy american tourister or other average brand. camel 28" is priced at RM 400 at AEON/Jusco after discount. any opinion on this

At RM400...I think you can get better deal elsewhere. You can consider brands like Deuter, Karrimor, Osprey, Kelty.
Try look up Madam Sia at Pertama Complex. Her shop is quite popular for those looking for packs.

Good luck!

Hi peeps

I just got a Kamilian clam luggage. Just wondering, any one used this before? If yes, how's the review of it? Thanks!

how does the luggage warranty work?

I want to redeem a luggage bag from my CC but how to get the warranty? I redeemed once but I don't see any warranty card.
