As Seen on Scripps News: Lieber's Luggage Is the Luggage Shop America Didn't Know It Was Missing

We do not take press lightly around here. So when Jefferson Graham — host of PhotowalksTV on Scripps News and YouTube — rolled through Albuquerque on his Route 66 series and stopped into Lieber's Luggage, we were honored.

His words: "This amazing little luggage shop in Albuquerque, right off Route 66, where Dustin Boyd and co. not just sell bags, but make them too."

That pretty much sums it up.

Right Off Route 66

There is something fitting about a Route 66 travel show stopping at a luggage store. Route 66 is the original American road trip — a highway built on the idea that the journey matters as much as the destination. And that is exactly what we believe at Lieber's.

We are located at 6515 Menaul Blvd NE in Albuquerque — right in the heart of New Mexico, right along the path that generations of American travelers have driven, walked, and ridden. We have been equipping those travelers with quality gear since 1978, when Frank Fine brought the Lieber's name from Cleveland to the 505.

We Don't Just Sell Bags. We Make Them.

Jefferson Graham noticed something that sets us apart from every big-box retailer and online marketplace: we are not just a store. We are a manufacturer.

The Lieber's Legacy Collection is assembled right here in the USA — hardside polycarbonate spinners built to the standard that founder Max Lieber established in Cleveland in 1906. Eight precision spinner wheels. Expandable packing capacity. A free custom monogram on every bag. And the kind of quality you can feel the moment you pick one up.

These are not bags you replace every two years. These are bags you keep.

What Makes a Great Local Luggage Shop?

Jefferson Graham asked his audience: "When's the last time you visited a great, local luggage shop?"

It is a fair question. In an era of one-click ordering and algorithm-driven recommendations, the experience of walking into a store where someone actually knows luggage — knows the brands, knows the dimensions, knows which bag fits your travel style — has become rare.

That is what we do every day at Lieber's. Our team does not just stock bags. We fit people for them. We ask where you are going, how long you will be gone, what airline you are flying, whether you check or carry on. And then we find you the right bag.

You cannot get that from a website.
