I am sure some /K here are deal hunters when it comes to shopping for luggages. What say you that is considered as cheap cheap, but strong, formidable and reliable?

Saw URBANlite on Shopee, price even cheaper than AMERICAN TOURISTER. Has anyone tried them before?

I think bare minimum is American Tourister.

Otherwise just sign up credit card and get free cheapo luggage bag.

I am surprised most American Tourister luggages have increased in price, some even double than a year AGO. Thank you USD.

Kamiliant

Samsonite sub brand. Bought 4 years back for a steal. Got manhandled in the airport and still working fine. Wheels need replacement though.

First time hearing this brand, yea it's made by Samsonite but they are even cheaper than American Tourister. Build up looks solid.

Deal hunters and 20k net income doesn’t jive, ya.

Sometimes at the airport (those carrying Rimowa luggages especially, wearing branded clothes but in normal AirAsia queuing line), you can't tell whether it's genuine or fake.

Or maybe ada gaya, ada kangtao, ada happy?

Samso wheel will come off

Then rubber handler will break off

Zip will have problem

For that price. Just get a cheap one will do
Like father like aon. Samso wheel terrible
Delsey not bad. For the price

Cabin worth it

I have an old American Tourister bag since 2014 and it has lasted quite long.
Also agree with these 2 posts above. If you're not travelling often, then perhaps not necessary to splurge.
My colleague bought a Rimowa Off White luggage bag but is now collecting dust as she doesn't travel so often.

American Tourister luggage price has increased a lot in the span of 1 year. In fact, I just got 1 American Tourister 30inch exactly late last year and now the price has increased by about 50%! Thank you USD

But why Rimowa luggage bag? You are just making yourself a target for theft or missing bags while in transit.

I would usually use a good quality luggage bag but with some weird brand that nobody have heard of that comes out of a factory in China. It’s better to avoid theft and someone making off with your luggage bag.

And the only branded clothes that is fine are those that don’t display any logos or labels on the outside. The materials are nicer and softer in more expensive clothes but make sure that there is no labels or prints that announce the brand.

This is the exact same logical explanation that I have in mind when it comes to expensive luggage unless you are flying first class or reputable airlines.

I think branded luggage makes sense for smaller size/hand carry - especially if you are on a business trip, so you can show it around. If you are a partner of consultancy firm or high position of some investment bank or someone who has made in life, I guess it's logical to show everyone especially if you are walking into a meeting room. That's my high flyer status!

Do you find it cheaper to buy SAMSO overseas (as compared to prices in Malaysia)?

Which series are you using now ? There's many sub Rm100 get 1 stars review due to bottom luggage connecting to wheel broke off and zip something unable to zip probably.

I am not sure on the sub RM100.

I have Shopee voucher, so ended up getting the biggest size from Urbanlite (Universal Traveller). There is a small issue on one of the wheel which I only noticed later on, which is quite a hassle. Other than that all good.

I recommend perhaps checking physically on the store instead (a bit more premium) so you can test up right down left on the quality.
