Best Luggage and Travel Bag Deals

Nordstrom is one of the best places to shop for reliable luggage, since its bag section is filled with top-tier brands like Tumi and Samsonite (and some under-the-radar brands, too). If you’re looking for a set, look no further than this 3-piece option from Bugatti to save a whopping $910. For those in search of a single luggage upgrade, consider the Samsonite Winfield 2 Carry-on for 23 percent off, or splurge on the Tumi 19 Degree Frame Carry-on while still saving nearly $300. My favorite bag deal goes to the BaubleBar Motif Tote Bag, since it's adorned with cute embroidery and works as a great carryall bag for schlepping.
