Durable luggage rec's?

Go look at T.J.Maxx or Marshalls for large luggage that's really inexpensive. They have some good name brands there so the quality is nice. I saw some Tumi there on great sale...

I used to be a luggage sales rep and I totally agree with fairywings-TJ Maxx/Marshall's is the best place to go and I also recommend Tumi. Tumi is the "it" brand for road-warrior types. Otherwise go with Victorinox Swiss Army (but make sure you get Victorinox not Wenger, which is sold at Wal-mart and Target) or Travelpro. Another good place to look is Saks Off Fifth but try Marshalls/TJ's first.

I second Tumi luggage! DH and I both have it and my suitcase is really durable! Before I had my Tumi suitcase, I had American Tourister and it didn't hold up well to the abuse it suffered at the hands of baggage handlers.

I always go to TJ Maxx/Marshalls as well for my luggage. I travel quite a bit for work and I've got a delsey roller suitcase that has held up well for the past two years (probably used 1 time/month). My brother in law travels every week for work - he swears by his kenneth cole luggage that he has had for years and years.
