Reviews

LOVE my Essentials Carry-on!

"I love my new Essential Carry-on. I can fit so much and I love the various compartments which help keep me organized. I’ve used it on two trips now and the section that holds my suits is so convenient because I can pack them with the hangers, take them out of my suitcase and transfer them to the hotel closet in no time! I really like the adjustable upright handle and the wheels are so smooth, even over carpet. Highly recommend Briggs & Riley products!"

— Amy C. (5/5)

Nice

"I thought it’s larger than the global carry on but mostly same size. So getting the global carry on after having this doesn’t make sense"

— Maryam U. (5/5)

Great bag

"This is my third Briggs suitcase - i have a large spinner, and then a standard 2-wheel carry-on, pretty much the same thing as this bag. I wanted to try the spinner as well, I think I will continue using both bags - I'm a crew member and prefer the 2-wheel carry-on when "working" as crew, whereas when traveling personally I prefer the spinner. I'm not really sure why this is, but it just seems to make sense to me!"

— Timothy S. (5/5)

No other better brand!

"This is my second Briggs & Riley carry-on. My first bag lasted me 30 years and over a million miles of travel, and it is still in excellent condition. Given that incredible durability, it was an easy decision to return to the brand when I decided to switch to a spinner model. As I’ve gotten older, this spinner has been much easier on my shoulder, especially when I’m carrying a heavy backpack on top. After using this new carry-on for several trips, I’ve found that it significantly reduces strain and maneuvers effortlessly through the airport. I also had it monogrammed, and it looks very sharp. While it feels slightly smaller than my original bag, the quality and ease of use are outstanding. I truly love this new addition to my travel gear."

— Monte W. (5/5)

A very well thought and well manufactured spinner

"I’ve been looking for months for a tough and durable spinner, in order to forget about suit bags. At last I discovered the Essential 56 cm and I couldn’t be more delighted. It needs a bit of breaking in, but I’m sure it will outperform my travel gear."

— Luis R. (5/5)

Love my new suitcase!

"The suitcase has exceeded my expectations in every way. My only complaint is I never got the strap (hook) and lock. -these items were missing! I sent a message to a live agent and am waiting for a replacement. I do believe it’s out of stock right now. Other than that, I love the suitcase! As a flight attendant I love the flexibility of making the bag bigger if I need too!"

— Michelle A. (4/5)

BEST CARRY ON IVE EVER OWNED

"Thank you B&R for making this bag. I was skeptical in the beginning but once I used it I wish I had it earlier . All of my dress shirts stayed perfect along with my aerless clothing bags it was game over. I will never doubt this product or B&R. Thank you"

— Anthony D. (5/5)

Perfect Suitcase with No Compromises

"I took this suitcase on its first trip a couple of weeks ago. It really is the best carry-on on the market! All the materials are especially durable. It holds up exceptionally well in case anything tries to snag on the suitcase as you're navigating tight spaces on an airplane. The design of the storage compartments is excellent. Being able to expand and contract the main compartment makes stuffing the suitcase easy. The garment folder was very handy in keeping my business-professional outfit wrinkle-free and ready to be worn right after unpacking."

— Kolten F. (5/5)

Best Luggage Ever!

"This luggage will hold and organize everything you need for an extended trip. It is so well constructed and well designed. The construction materials are top quality. I travel constantly and I could not be more thrilled with my purchase."

— Jan W. (5/5)

Fantastic carry on

"This is my third version of this size carry on in 15 years and my first time with four wheels. I travel short haul almost every week and so really need a reliable case. Love the expandable section that can be minimised from the outside - a big improvement on my last version. And I am converted to the 4-wheel version having always liked the “pull” motion having two wheels! Top quality and love the pockets. You can tell this has been designed for people who travel a lot."

— Laura C. (5/5)

Q&A

If left on an airport’s tarmac in the rain, would the luggage contents get wet? I had a bad experience in Tampa,FL with another brand’s soft side luggage. Luggage was left in the rain.
Good Morning Jan, Thank you for contacting Briggs & Riley. Our bags are water resistant. If they get overly wet or are in the rain they and the contents can become wet.
Please compare to 21” international carry on spinner
Good Morning Debbie, Thank you for contacting Briggs & Riley. Briggs & Riley Baseline 22" Domestic Carry-On Expandable Spinner offers a capacity of 37 to 48 liters when expanded. In contrast, the Briggs & Riley Baseline 21" International Carry-On Expandable Spinner has a capacity of 37-49 liters when expanded. The slight difference in capacity is due to design variations tailored to meet specific international and domestic carry-on size regulations. The 21" model is optimized for international travel, adhering to stricter size limitations, while the 22" model is designed for domestic use, offering a balance between size and capacity.
how many inches does the expandable part go up?
Good Morning Danny, Thank you for contacting Briggs & Riley. The expansion area adds an additional inch to the bag.
I have several Briggs & Riley cases, including a now fairly worn carry on. Is there any trade in credit available? Thanks
Good Morning Giles, Thank you for contacting Briggs & Riley, You will want to email our customer service team at customer-service@briggs-riley.com.
Good day, I have a 22" carryon bag which spinner wheels tires are deteriorated and need replacement. I live in South Florida. Please advise how to get it fixed. Thanks! Regards, Afshin
Good Morning Afshin, Thank you for contacting Briggs & Riley. Please emails customer-service@Briggs-riley.com with your style number and one of our team members would be happy to assist you with that.
