Macy's is having a rare luggage sale — save up to 65% on Samsonite, Travelpro and more

Behold my actual suitcase: the smart and stable Travelpro Crew Classic. This is the bag that's going to survive a bumpy ride down the stairs as well as years of repetitive use. Pay attention to what the flight crew is wheeling through the airport the next time you're catching a flight: Travelpro is most likely to be it.

This lightweight 21-inch spinner is an expandable softside, so it's an over-packer's delight. It's made with a tip-resistant zipper, meaning it's designed to stay on its track without getting stuck or misaligned, which is a precious feature in a suitcase. Glide this bad boy easily and gracefully thanks to its 360-degree self-aligning spinner wheels. 

I've also carried Samsonite pieces on my world travels and I understand why this name is synonymous with quality: these bags are seriously durable and come with the reviews to prove it. ("The wheels do a complete 360 making the luggage easy to handle!" raved a fan.) 

Created exclusively for Macy's, the 28-inch Samsonite AirLift Spinner is almost 60% off right now — unheard of! It's a uniquely lightweight yet spacious checked bag with wheels designed for shock absorption, an ergonomic and sturdy handle, and endless compartments for organization. The interior is made from recycled bottles — a cool and environmentally sound touch. The mauve, pictured here, is sure to stand out at baggage claim.

I used to be firmly in the soft luggage camp, and while I do still prefer it for a carry-on, I've become a hardside convert, especially for checked bags. You can still pack a lot and a hardside suitcase will compress it down. It can also survive being tossed around or falling down a flight of stairs (it happens!).

This Travelers Club set is the best of both worlds — the foursome includes a hardside checked suitcase and carry-on, then a softside tote and toiletry bag. Choose from 10 colors, including this teal. "My favorite feature is in the large and carry-on suitcase; it's the little zipper area in between the two halves!" remarked a buyer. "Finally, a place to put my small things that I don't want to be able to access quickly." 

Delsey's luggage pieces are so easy to identify just by their looks: in short, they look high-end. But the prices can be pretty reasonable — well, especially when they're almost 60% off. 

This Delsey duffel is no exception. Not only is this deep green version with embossed leather accents jetset-worthy, but it's frequent flyer-worthy, too. This bag is built to go the distance and it has lots of pockets — mesh, lined, zippered — and wrapped handles in addition to a padded strap. It's the perfect piece for a weekend away.

Another respected name among frequent travelers and flight crew alike is the iconic London Fog brand. I am seriously eyeing this Chelsea Hardside spinner as a new carry-on because it pretty much has it all.

For starters, it's made of polycarbonate, which is the best and most durable hardside material you can find. It also has a locking push-button handle set in channel tubes to keep it on track and a special technology to keep the wheels aligned. And this one is absolutely packed with storage compartments inside. In addition to being extra stylish — it comes in lilac and three other fun colors — this suitcase is nearly $400 off. 

You might recognize this Delsey spinner; frequent travelers definitely do. It's an eye-candy favorite that happens to have the strength and durability to back up its good looks. Made of polycarbonate with easy-to-navigate wheels and zippers that are three times stronger than the average, this coveted piece is currently over 55% off. 

It features shock-absorbent corners that can stand up to a good tossing, built-in TSA locks and a patented antimicrobial technology that prevents odors — an underrated issue when it comes to the suitcase life. The white is a stunner, but it also comes in a darker chocolate hue. "Old-world charm with modern comfort. These suitcases roll well," wrote a five-star reviewer. 

Certain occasions require that you transport delicate items of clothing or easily wrinkled outfits, and there isn't always an iron ready when you arrive. If carrying your clothing is paramount, then this Samsonite garment bag spinner should be a part of your luggage collections. It has compartments to store suits, shoes, shirts, socks, belts, and so on, keeping everything flat and secure.

"Love this suitcase. I take it on every vacation whether it's a week at the beach, a weekend in Vegas or overseas. It keeps my clothes in the best condition to wear right out of the suitcase," gushed a traveler.

It's pretty standard to travel with one piece of checked luggage and one carry-on spinner (plus your purse or other personal item), so if you're looking for a basic two-piece set, we recommend this fan-favorite due by Delsey, created exclusively for Macy's.

The chic set maneuvers easily and quietly — use it to smoothly navigate those cobblestone streets on your next European vacation. Inside are plenty of pockets, dividers and straps to hold everything in place. And the polycarbonate/ABS blend combines the best of both worlds: it's both durable and lightweight. It comes in black, but I love this glossy bronze!

Travelpro tends to design its stellar suitcases with a vintage aesthetic and that's part of why I love their Premium Elite Hardside suitcase so much. If you're in the market for one large and durable piece to last you for years to come, I'd recommend this as a solid investment. 

It has all the features you want in a checked bag, including a polycarbonate shell and metal corner guards to withstand wear and tear, the best and most easy-to-navigate handle and wheels in the market, a water-resistant pocket inside, and two inches of expandability. Suffice it to say, this bag is a powerhouse. It doesn't go on sale often so grabbing it while it's 55% off is a solid choice. 

I was thrilled to see that a slew of Travelon bags made it into Macy's Big Home Sale. This brand nails it when it comes to anti-theft protection built into modern, streamlined bags. I used to feel like backpacks were invitations for pickpockets, but this one removes all worry. 

It has a five-point anti-theft system, which includes slash-resistant mesh body panels and straps, locking compartments and RFID-blocking interior pockets to protect your credit cards and personal IDs from remote theft. In addition to your personal items, it has a sleeve for laptops up to 15.6 inches, an iPad or a tablet. Other cool features include a mesh water bottle pocket and an LED light attached to a key clip. It's basically everything you want in a travel backpack.
