The Definitive List of Top Luggage Brands for 2025

Hey everyone, Dustin here from the Luggage Lab.

I get asked all the time, "What's the best luggage brand?" It's a great question because in a world with endless options, finding a bag that’s actually built to last is a real challenge. I’m not talking about the bags that look great on an ad but fall apart after one trip. I’m talking about a true travel partner.

So, I decided to put together my definitive list of the top luggage brands for 2025. This isn't just about looks. My criteria are simple: durability, thoughtful design, and a real commitment to service.

The Top Contenders: Brands We Trust

Briggs & Riley This brand is the gold standard for many frequent travelers, and for good reason. They stand by their products with a legendary "Simple As That" lifetime warranty that covers any functional damage, no matter who's at fault. Their bags are smart, durable, and packed with useful features like the Outsider handle that gives you a perfectly flat packing space. They are a serious investment for a serious traveler.

Thule When it comes to adventure, Thule is a brand you can count on. They're all about rugged, all-terrain durability. Their bags are designed to handle rough roads and tough conditions, and their commitment to using recycled materials is a big plus. If you're looking for a bag that's ready to go wherever you are, a Thule is a great choice.

Lieber's Luggage Legacy I’m a bit biased, but I put our Legacy line at the top of this list because we’re the only ones who can promise this: a bag proudly built and assembled right here in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Our Legacy bags are made from a unique polypropylene material that’s pliable and flexible, not brittle. We like to say they're bendable, not breakable. It's why they can withstand the infamous "squish heard 'round the world" without cracking.

When you buy a Legacy bag, you're not just getting a product; you’re getting a piece of our family and our commitment to quality that you can only get from a local business. We stand behind every bag we build, and we're here to service it for life.

The Bottom Line

When you’re ready to invest in a bag that’s built for the long haul, consider your options carefully. But remember, if you want something that combines true durability, thoughtful design, and local service, the choice is clear.

Stop by our store and put a Legacy bag to the test yourself. We've got everything but the trip!
