Just because summer is winding down doesn’t mean your travels have to wind down, too. Once you’ve got that vacation booked, it’s time to start packing, and you’ll want just the right suitcase for the job. When it comes to buying from one of our favorite luggage brands, we recommend waiting for a sale moment, like Labor Day, to secure the new bag.

Is Labor Day a good time to buy luggage?
Labor Day weekend is an excellent time to buy a new suitcase. We tend to see the best deals on luggage land on holiday weekends like Labor Day and Memorial Day. Over Memorial Day 2023, we saw prices drop below $100 for top brands like Samsonite and even steeper discounts from retailers like Amazon and Walmart.
This Labor Day, we expect to see some of the most popular luggage brands host sales of their own. Even in the first week of August, a few retailers are already dropping discounts. We’ll keep this page updated as more sales go live.
