There are not many of these in stock still, so I debated whether or not to post this but determined that at least a handful of readers could score a smokin’ deal: some Briggs & Riley bags are as much as half off at Zappos (though most that are discounted are more like 40% off). The same bags are also available via Amazon also sold by Zappos. We just don’t often see big discounts on Briggs & Riley bags, so this seemed worth posting for those who can get in fast.
The Deal
- Zappos.com is offering 40-50% off on select models of Briggs & Riley bags. Colors and quantities are extremely limited
- Direct link to Briggs & Riley on Zappos
Quick Thoughts
First up: set expectations low. Then ratchet them down a notch or two further. Available quantities are extremely low (think 1-6). I would not at all be surprised if orders exceed stock and some get cancelled.
That said, it’s kind of like a refundable lottery ticket: if your order gets fulfilled, you’ll feel like a winner. If it gets canceled, you’ll get your money back. Don’t book a trip today revolving around your ability to use your new Briggs & Riley bag.
I should also note that I have not extensively shopped for a deal on Briggs & Riley. If you’re aware of other places to get a deal on these bags, share with other readers in the comments.
If I hadn’t just bought a carry-on earlier this year, I’d probably consider the Sympatico. Red is down to $289 (compare to $579 for the same color at eBags). The brown color is $319. While much more than the $130 I spent on my Muji bag, I might have sprung for it on these knowing the reputation Briggs & Riley has both for quality and service.
I’d be further interested since I years ago signed up for some sort of free Zappos membership that offered free overnight shipping “until the cows come home” (that’s how they actually billed it at the time). If I could only figure out my account login information, I’d definitely consider ordering for (free) overnight processing to enhance my odds of winning the luggage lottery. The same bags are also available on Amazon, but fulfilled by Zappos. By pure guess is that they would fulfill Zappos.com orders first, but your guess is as good as mine.
See the link under “The Deal” to see all Briggs & Riley bags at Zappos and then hunt around for the ones on sale.
Best of luck if you decide to order.

Since this would be a purchase from Zappos, how would one use the warranty if needed? Through Zappos or through Briggs & Riley?
I assume Zappos is an authorized dealer, and in that case through Briggs & Riley. Might be worth checking though to make sure.
Aside from reselling, is there any other angle for this? I read Departures, so I know some people have money to burn, but from a practical standpoint what can this suitcase do that others can’t?
Theoretically? Last for 20 years. Briggs & Riley is known for making really durable stuff and for its lifetime warranty without the hassles you may get from other companies. I haven’t personally owned one, but that’s why people buy them.
Ah OK, that would be a value proposition. We’ve been traveling with hiking backpacks for the last 15 years so I’m not very familiar with the suitcase side of things.
still too much, your paying for brand…I have had cheap carry-ons that came in bigger sets last 10 years, so from a value standpoint theirs would have to last me over 50 years…big, checked luggage gets more wear and tear but why not get a sturdy Samsonite for a fraction of the price and see how long it lasts?….i’m sure Rolex has a better international brand reputation…but timex will sell me a watch that functions just as well, at a fraction of the price.
I’m not saying you should spend this much on luggage, but I will say that I carried around a Samsonite with a broken handle I had to keep screwing back together and two pouches on the outside too ripped to use for a couple of years. The handle and rips had occurred by the end of year 1, but having spent $100 on it I pushed to get a couple of years out of it. I wasn’t taking it to business meetings, so I didn’t worry about how it looked. I didn’t try filing a warranty claim, which was my fault. Anyway, the handle completely failed on me during a trip with the family when I was carrying a ton of stuff and was counting on rolling that bag with something on top of it. I ended up kicking it through the airport at some point on the last trip.
The market for luggage like this is really people who travel weekly for work and/or folks who like to count on the warranty. I don’t, so I haven’t bought something in this price range. But if I did travel more for work, I’d consider something extra sturdy because I’d have hated to have been getting picked up by business associates carrying my ripped rolling bag because the handle was broken.
Of course, as you’re getting at, I’m sure there are plenty of other quality bags and some of them probably cost less.
Ordered one through Amazon. Not sure I need it but at that price, why not? Also, went through TCB for 7% cb on luggage (although I’m not sure if that applies to Amazon branded luggage or not).
