The middle size one. Brand is "Verdi" which is probably a cheap brand. Of course the luggage W1LL posted above (the first one) mogs it in terms of looks, but it's also probably over 1k. I'm too afraid to ask the price of that thing.

edit- looked up W1lls travel pro carry on. And it's around $500. That's actually not that bad. I wouldn't want to spend anymore than that for sure. It looks high end to me.

Lmao imagine thinking luggage is a flex or trying to impress strangers with luggage.

Would never waste money on expensive luggage. Even if I had it. The whole thought of throwing hundreds of dollars at something some airport security person is just going to toss on a plane, not to mention the gaudy terminal baggage claims, seems stupid to me.

And I am a professional when it comes to wasting money.

What? Tumi is definitely not a flex lmao.

Rimowa OR globe-trotter is the travel flex lugage, anything else is cope (not counting certain leather duffel bags or special stuff like Berluti suitcases which are obviously a flex as well)

Just lol at spending more than $50 on a luggage bag of any kind. Traveled to more countries than I can count with a $20 carry-on canvas bag. Just lol at giving your luggage off to an air carrier and waiting 20-30min to get it back after a 12hr flight, like a pleb.

Just LOL at not paying a bit more money and buying a handmade Horween leather travel bag.

Trends are retarded. Buy quality. Always.

The only, and I mean ONLY luggage that’s a flex is Rimowa, as someone mentioned above. No point in buying one though even if you can afford cause salty airport workers go out of their way to ‘test its durability’ since they assume you’re a stuck up prick if you own one anyway

just lol
Not gonna lie - I just looked through their stuff and it looks like hot garbage now. I bought mine close to a decade ago - Suitcases are ballistic with leather pull behinds (not on that ****gytime 4 wheel time) & a brown Napa leather bifold wardrobe - they look dope asf. I wouldn't touch the chit they're selling now.

The 12 months before COVID hit I flew about 40-50 times and I dont even know what brand my luggage is.

My travel bag is the red and grey one. If I need sport coats for meetings I take the blue one.

Edit: just looked, my backpack is an Ogio.

Have no idea where that falls in a status hierarchy, but it had the best laptop compartment of the ones for sale in the store I was in the day I went to buy one.

lol im right there with you brah. I rarely ever travel, but when I do I use a mil-spec backpack that my brother gave me (he's in the navy) and a Jean Paul Gaultier cologne bag that I believe was originally given to retailers and JPG ADs to transport colognes

oh yea almost forgot about the $3 day bag that I got from a thrift store. I actually get compliments on it all the time LOL
