A Legacy That Keeps Moving: The Lieber’s Luggage Story

Every longtime local shop has a story. Ours starts in Cleveland, Ohio, in 1906 and continues here in Albuquerque, where Lieber’s Luggage has served travelers since 1978.

The cities changed. The people carrying the business forward changed. But helping someone get ready for a journey remains at the heart of the shop.

From Cleveland to Albuquerque

Max Lieber was the original founder of Lieber’s Luggage. In 1943, he sold the operation to his close friend Sam Fine, who ran the Cleveland store for decades.

Sam’s grandson, Frank Fine, grew up working in that store. That experience sparked a lifelong interest in retail and travel goods. After moving to Albuquerque in the late 1970s, Frank adopted the Lieber’s Luggage name in 1978, bringing its family connection and industry heritage with him.

The next chapter

Dustin Boyd started working at Lieber’s in 2002 and later purchased the business from Frank. Today, Dustin and Felicia Boyd operate the family-owned shop at 6515 Menaul Blvd NE.

That history matters to us, but it isn’t something we leave in the past. It shows up in the way we help customers compare bags, answer packing questions, and choose gear for the trips ahead.

A local shop with a long memory

Today’s Lieber’s brings together luggage, travel accessories, professional leather goods, and our own Legacy Line of durable hardside spinners. It’s a modern travel shop with more than a century of heritage behind the name.
