Where you get those brand ar?

Having used different luggage bags, i must say Samsonite makes one of the best bags without doubt. Most of the other brands like Polo, Crocodile and unbranded ones are quite hopeless. After a while, they start to tear or the wheels will break or the handle will break and i've even seen a stupid CHina bag that my friend used that wasn't balanced when you stand it upright.

Samsonite maybe expensive but its got minimum 10 years warranty and in some higher range ones, lifetime warranty. First, its very light and you'd be surprise the space compartment you get for such a small bag. And they have those small but very ingenious compartments.

My advise to you travellers out there who wish to buy a cabin bag or check in bag, invest in a good brand, be it Samsonite or Victorinox or Mendoza. Forget about cheapo brands if you wanna buy 1 for the long run.

Samsonite cheapest cabin bag is definitely more than RM500, unless you get it at a bargain or clearance stock. 

But yeah, i get what you mean about scratches and such but i think to avoid that, get those canvas type of bag, which is just as good and also very light.

pictures mate!

I've been using Samsonite for years and years. My main travel bags are all Samsonite. I have one that I use for 4-14 day trips (usually maxes out around 17-22kg), and a bigger one for trips longer than 14 days (or if I want to carry a lot of stuff, usually around 30kg total). Both have large wheels for easy movement (especially going up/down steps, and cobblestone streets like in many European cities).

The smaller bag is already 11 years old and still going strong. The larger bag is 4 years old.

I also have a hard shell large Samsonite and a Samsonite garment bag. Both have survived the test of time (>11 years) and are still in good condition.

For backpacking, I have 3 backpacks: a 65L Deuter, a 55L Tatonka and a smaller (maybe 20L-ish cheapo from Thailand of dubious authenticity) backpack. The Deuter backpack is more comfortable than the Tatonka.

SeLrAhC, American Tourister is basically Samsonite relabelled in case you didn't know. You won't get the high end Samsonite stuff as American Tourister but the low end spinners for example are exactly the same but much cheaper.

I still prefer european samsonite stuff though, they're lighter but just as tough.

Good quality though! Can last you a lifetime !

You don't have to care if you get scratches on your bag. It's function is to protect your belongings, not to look pretty

Haha
My heart did ache a little when I dragged it on tar road. But after that once, can la, it has good rims okay!
I don't see people buying an expensive car and not driving it. The tyres will have scratches too! =P
