Travel: 10 Quality and Affordable Luggage Brands

Whether you’re heading overseas or travelling domestically for the holidays, any seasoned traveller will tell you that quality matters most when choosing which luggage to buy. While travelling can be fun and exciting, it can also be a big hassle, especially if you’re travelling with kids and the last thing you need is ripped seams and handles breaking off your luggage while in transit. But you also don’t want to spend more money than you have to on luggage that will stand up to all the rigours of travel.

When we hear the word ‘quality’ we assume the product must be expensive because the words are often used interchangeably by the advertising industry. However, quality doesn’t have to mean expensive when purchasing luggage.

Sure, there are the luxury brands like Louis Vuitton, Ralph Lauren and Bottega Veneta. But why max out your credit card on a luxury brand suitcase from overseas when you can purchase quality brand name luggage at a fraction of the price, right here in Australia, from an online retailer such as www.inluggage.com.au and receive free delivery to your door.
