Shop the Nordstrom luggage sale by category:
Carry-ons and checked bags
A suitcase goes through a lot of wear and tear, whether it’s stowed in the overhead bin on your flight or bumping along the baggage carousel. These durable pieces of luggage from Monos and Tumi are built to last, and are trusted brands of our editors. I swear by hard-shell suitcases from Monos; inside, they feature two separate zip-mesh pockets for easy organization and a compression pad with a zip pocket to keep clothes in place. They hold up well, fit a ton, and make it easy to separate dirty and clean clothes with the interior pockets. Luggage from Tumi is always among the sale’s most popular deals—the beloved brand is on the pricier side (but makes products that last for years), so there’s no better time to finally snag that suitcase you’ve been eyeing.
Duffel bags
The ideal duffel bag is roomy enough to carry your essentials, but still lightweight enough that you won’t be weighed down when trying to catch your connecting flight or carry it onto a train. You want a weekender that will last, and luckily there are tons of durable, water-repellent options on sale that just happen to be easy to clean, too. A few of our favorites are from Dagne Dover, Herschel, and Monos.
Backpacks
A good backpack is a travel must-have. These styles have front or side compartments for storing your phone or wallet and offer plenty of room inside for a laptop, snacks, and maybe even a change of clothes. We’re especially eyeing the discounted backpacks from Cole Haan and Herschel.
Tote bags
Everyone needs a trustworthy, sturdy tote bag that fits absolutely all of their plane must-haves—wallet, water bottle, books, and skincare products, to name a few. These are the bags you’ll use again and again on just about every trip. With sales from AllSaints, Kate Spade, and Longchamp, there are plenty of great options—including the perfect business trip tote that’s functional yet chic.
Crossbody bags
Crossbody bags are practical, versatile, sleek, and ideal for busy days on the go. They keep you hands-free whether you’re riding a bike or exploring a museum, and can be styled multiple ways. Plus, these bags from brands Madewell and Kate Spade are stylish enough to be worn out to dinner and in other more formal settings, too.
Handbags
Rounding out our top picks of the best luggage and travel bags to shop during Nordstrom’s Anniversary Sale are these sleek handbags. You’ll find discounts on stylish, everyday bags from Coach, Mali + Lili, and Rebecca Minkoff. Coach’s pebbled leather handbag can be worn day or night, and can even be worn as a crossbody bag, too.
