Briggs and Riley - There really is no Substitute

My first Briggs and Riley rollerbag is still in use (Purchased in 1995, been to all 50 states, 6 continents and 4M miles in the air). When the airlines run out of overhead space, the bag gets checked and it really has taken a beating. B&R honors the lifetime warranty, under which I've had fixed/replaced a new liner, multiple zippers, and even a new handle and wheels. My wife bought this bag for her first job, and because we were just starting out, money was tight, and I remember what a hard time that I gave her for the $300 price (1995). If I only knew then what I know now.

As a frequent traveler, I acknowledge that I'm hypercritical about luggage function, design, and durability. I've tried Tumi and it's not worth the premium. I've had all sorts of Samsonite bags and consider them disposable...they last a year or two, fall apart, and then I buy new ones (I buy the cheap bags for the infrequent, longer trips, where I know that the airlines will be putting them through a shredder).

What I like about my new B&G rollerbag is that it is lightweight, and has significant design improvements and innovations over the older bag. I really like what B&G have done with the garment section, incorporation of certain straps, compartments, as well as hardware. The bag is hyper-functional for the kind of travel that I do. I took the opportunity to also purchase a backpack for overnight trips, as well as a laptop bag. I'm also very pleased with the smaller bags, for the same reasons above. B&G designs do the job really well, and knowing that I'll be supported by the B&G warranty has earned them my loyalty for life.

Great addition to our B & R collection of luggage

Adding to our luggage. B & R luggage has served us well and wouldn't think of adding other than a B & R piece. The piece added is similar to a piece my wife uses and I will use it in place of my back pack. Convenient lay out and ease of use is what led me to this decision.

Ordered a carry on bag with personalized monogram. Item was delivered in a short period of time with accurate initials on the bag. It was a gift and well received. B&R communication about the status of the order was top notch. Highly recommended

Briggs & Riley are EXCELLENT

Briggs and Riley are a niche firm that can be found in High Street shops such as John Lewis and on line via Amazon but to get the real deal as they say you should go directly to their website as their entire range is on display and that is where I found what I was looking for. The prices are good (too many to list) but if you are looking for that present which is both useful and practical I can only give it the highest of praise. The bonus is their Customer Service and I hope when I name and praise Linda she will not mind as she is fantastic and a real asset because you go on line it is sometimes difficult to convey what you are looking for and she was wonderful in helping me choose. So although I could give no more than five stars Briggs and Riley and Linda in particular deserve TEN.

Great briefcase

It is a great briefcase that, in a pinch, can be used as an overnighter. Not fancy, but very well built.

Briggs and Riley provided excellent service and one of the rollers on my suitcase was damaged. They promptly sent me a wheel replacement kit and it was very easy to replace the broken roller. Their products are very high-quality and durable. I am very pleased with my Briggs and Riley luggage.

Best company for luggage

I have been purchasing Riggs Riley luggage for years. My son frequently tells me that of all the gifts he has ever received, the Riggs Riley suitcases rank highest. Recently I purchased another for my daughter. Fedex misplaced the bag & as delivery was time sensitive, I reached out to Briggs Riley customer service. The representative immediately created a search and sent a replacement piece in the event that Fedex had lost the box. Chuck could not have been more attentive. I will always be purchasing Briggs Riley because 1) the product is made well & 2) customer service goes beyond other companies to assure satisfaction.

Gorgeous

Gorgeous. Love the plum color and the styling of the Simpatico line. I bought this bag due to the reputation of the company and their warranty, but also the color and style. It felt unique and feminine in a sea of black bags. Burgundy/plum is almost my personal branding color. First new luggage since high school too, when I bought a black Samonite to study aboard, so I’m satisfied with the price. I don’t like wasting money on cheap things, and deserved an upgrade. Only caveat is I haven’t traveled with it yet. Got the “international” size for versatility. Didn’t miss the lost inch while packing at all.

Cabin spinner

The small cabin spinner looks to be made with a low grade material not as nice as my other Briggs’s and Riley bags. It also does not open to a lay flat position.

All of our luggage was perfect

All of our luggage was perfect! We needed a wardrobe piece for my daughter's princess dinner at Disney and my outfit for a special couple's dinner. It was plenty of room for all our hanging clothes and kept things nice. I didn't even need to do touch up ironing. My husband got the medium trunk and it was also perfect for him. It seems like men like to put things in a trunk...throw them in and go! It was great for him. My luggage was a little more traditional. I fit everything perfectly. It made for a pretty easy Disney World trip

Love your product

Love your product, never been disappointed yet. Best luggage ever!! Website is user friendly and item arrived on schedule. We've been using this brand for about 10 years and keep buying more. The luggage is lightweight, expandable and has some very nice features. I love to use the top zipper section for my dirty clothes when traveling because it just zips in there nicely keeping it separate from my clean clothes. Thank you Briggs & Riley, great product!!

My Honeymoon Bag

I'm getting ready for my honeymoon and chose this bag for its size and known quality. I had checked out other department stores and found better prices but without the quality that I know lies in every Briggs and Riley bag. When I received the bag, I was surprised of how lightweight it is while still being sturdy. The zipper compartments inside will also be handy. While other bags also have the locking feature, I couldn't find one where the ease of locking and unlocking could beat B & R. The quality of this bag along with the lifetime warranty makes this bag hard to beat. Between my fiancé and myself, this is our 5th Briggs and Riley. It's just a hard bag to beat!

Trunk Style Luggage

Trunk Style Luggage
I wanted a hard case that didn't take up twice the space when it was opened. This is the perfect case, the lid opens and can lean up against the wall while the base of the truck sits on the luggage rack. The medium size is still large but not too large.

Great luggage, slow shipping

Briggs and Riley luggage is fantastic but I can only give three stars because it took 10 days for this piece to arrive after I ordered it.

Amazing customer service!

I love my luggage, but what was even better was the customer service! I had an issue with my luggage and a Briggs representative very quickly got back to me and fixed my problem.

My luggage is beautiful (as beautiful as luggage can be), looks sturdy and rolls smoothly. Thank you!!
