Wrangler Hardside Spinner Carry-on

Wrangler’s carry-on suitcase may be under $50, but it comes with top-notch features, like interior compression straps to help you fit more, a lightweight, but durable hardside shell, and 360-degree spinning wheels to help you get from TSA to your gate with ease. One reviewer confirmed that in addition to looking “impressive and expensive,” the bag’s wheels navigate smoothly. 

Delsey Paris Helium Aero Expandable Luggage

Delsey’s Helium Aero checked bag features a shiny, metallic exterior that makes it look “sleek” and “expensive,” according to owners. The suitcase also comes with two lined compartments for organizing your clothes and elastic webbed straps to keep everything in place. Some reviewers compare the quality to designer brands that cost almost triple the price.

Level8 Hard Shell Carry-on

Level8’s suitcase has a simplicity that’s anything but boring. Its smooth shell is made from three layers of polycarbonate (a hard-to-break plastic shell) to protect the bag’s integrity and your belongings. You can also choose from five sizes, including a compact carry-on or large check-in.

Samsonite Freeform Hardside Carry-on

There’s a reason more than 11,000 reviewers have left five-star ratings for Samsonite’s carry-on. Owners love its roomy interior and durability, especially its scratch-resistant hardshell that keeps it looking brand new. After considering a pricier piece, one reviewer opted for this carry-on and has no regrets as it’s both durable and looks like a luxury brand. They even called it “the smartest purchase” they’ve made. 

Kenneth Cole Reaction Diamond Tower Luggage

Instead of the typical ridged design most hardshell suitcases have, this Kenneth Cole luggage has an eye-catching diamond pattern that one fashion-forward traveler loves to show off at the airport. And it comes with stretchy shoe pockets with room for a spare shoe or two.

Melalenia 7-piece Suitcase Set

Everything you could possibly need for storing your travel gear is probably in this under-$200 seven-piece set that one reviewer describes as looking “more expensive than they are.” You’ll get two carry-ons, a medium-sized suitcase, a large suitcase, a mini duffel, and a small toiletry bag, all of which nest in one another for easy storage. Plus, the tote bag comes with trolley sleeves, allowing you to slip it onto your suitcase’s handle. 

Merax 3-piece ABS Hardside Luggage Set

This set of three suitcases comes in 42 colors, many of which feature chic contrasting trim that makes them easy to spot at baggage claim. One reviewer wrote that the luggage is stylish, well-priced, and has “exquisite workmanship” that left them so impressed, they’re planning to buy another.

Sweetcrispy Carry-on

This Sweetcrispy carry-on has captured the attention of more than 2,000 shoppers who have purchased the bag this month — and we can see why. Reviewers praise its double wheels that “glide effortlessly” through the airport as well as a TSA-approved lock that is “easy to work” and will keep your belongings safe.

American Tourister Stratum 2.0 Hardside Luggage

Owners love that this expandable bag comes in 17 colors, many of which are metallic or brightly hued, making them easy to spot at the airport. Reviewers also raved about its roomy interior that allows them to pack enough for a long trip. One shopper fit 10 days’ worth of clothes, including everything they needed to attend a wedding, and they didn’t even need to use its expandable feature.

Travelpro Maxlite 5 Softside Carry-on

More than 10,000 reviewers gave the carry-on a five-star rating for its lightweight feel, durability, classic look, and overall value. One traveler took the bag on a 16-day, multi-city trip across Europe and said it was able to handle “miles and miles on cobblestone streets” while another reviewer called this suitcase “the best value” compared to pricey brands.  

Coolife Expandable Suitcase

For under $200, you can get this set of three suitcases that includes a carry-on, medium-sized bag, and large check-in. Reviewers say it “looks sharp” and “luxurious,” which is thanks to its modern beveled edge design and shiny finish. 

Amazon Basics Hardside Checked Luggage

More than 37,000 reviewers have given Amazon’s hardside luggage five stars for its ridged design that gives it a sleek, upscale appearance. Plus, it’s made with a scratch-resistant shell to maintain its look. One reviewer raved over how it’s a “high-end item for almost pennies” and that every time they check it in, “it always comes back to me in tip-top shape.”
