With many luxury suitcases, you’re paying big bucks to own a stylish status symbol. With Briggs & Riley suitcases, you’re paying for something that will give you a measurably better travel experience.

Of the hundreds of suitcases we’ve tested, Briggs & Riley’s Baseline suitcases have consistently stood out as the best. For over a decade, the company’s bags have held top spots, as our upgrade pick for the best carry-on bag and as the best checked bag.

Kit Dillon, a senior staff writer and luggage expert, and Wirecutter founder Brian Lam both use Briggs & Riley Baseline suitcases for their own travel. Lam said, and I quote, “I love this bag.”

Also, just changing the color and the prop, this is perfectly usable for Christmas decor as well. This is one of those “sandbox projects” that can fit wherever your imagination takes it…I’m just really partial to Halloween, so that’s what’s demonstrated here. Raawr!
