When it comes to luggage, the most important thing is a high-quality, reliable design. But to many travelers, aesthetics are a close second. Just like an outfit, it's nice when your baggage looks cohesive and intentional. Plus, a matching set is useful when traveling with your family or partner and any time you need to bring more than one bag.

So, what are the best luggage sets? That depends on your needs, preferences, and taste. To help you narrow it down, we tested over 450 pieces of luggage in our lab using our specially-made airplane set as well as in the real world. We packed up the suitcases, spun them around, rolled them over various surfaces, hoisted them into overhead bins, pushed them off tables, and whacked them with a metal baseball bat to see how they'd perform in a real-life setting. The winners here not only performed well in our tests, but are also available as part of a set. Check out our favorite luggage pieces that are available as matching sets below.

Best Overall

Samsonite hardside spinner.

• Capacity 5 /5
• Design 5 /5
• Maneuverability 5 /5
• Durability 5 /5

This two-piece suitcase set is lightweight, spacious, and super easy to maneuver.

The suitcases don't have laundry bags or smart features.

After trying 14 pieces of Samsonite luggage, we're big fans of the brand — particularly the Freeform line. This two-piece set includes the Freeform Carry-on (21-inch), plus the matching Checked Spinner (28-inch), both of which expand. The smaller size earned perfect scores in all our tests, thanks to its lightweight and compact yet spacious design. We didn't even need to use the expander to fit everything on our packing list . Though there's no removable laundry bag, these suitcases have various pockets within the main compartments and separators for dirty shoes. The high-strength thermoplastic exterior stood up well to our durability tests. After hitting it with a baseball bat and shoving it off a table, we observed no dents, scratches, or scuffs. It seems water-resistant and easy to wipe clean, too.

The suitcase we tested was a breeze to maneuver, gliding effortlessly on hard flooring, carpet, and even gravel. We also love the minimalist-modern appeal of the Freeform collection and appreciate the many styles and chic color options. All things considered, this luggage set is very reasonably priced, and the brand's 10-year warranty can give you peace of mind about your purchase.

Best Overall, Runner-up

Away luggage set.

• Capacity 4.5 /5
• Design 4.6 /5
• Maneuverability 4.5 /5
• Durability 4 /5

Away offers discounted two- or three-piece suitcase sets and backs them with a limited lifetime warranty.

The price of this luggage set varies based on your selections.

Away gives you the option to build a set of two or three bags, with a discount of $50 or $100, respectively. We were generally impressed with the pieces we tested , particularly the brand's suitcases. The Large checked suitcase and The Carry-on both earned perfect scores thanks to spacious yet compact designs and enhanced durability. The hardside exteriors of the Bigger Carry-on Flex and Large Flex checked bag sustained zero dents from our bat swings, though we noticed a few scratches after pushing them off a table.

With dual compartments, expanders, compression systems, and dirty laundry bags, these suitcases make it easy to pack and stay organized. They're also a breeze to roll, thanks to the 360-degree spinner wheels. Away isn't the most affordable luggage, but the bundle-and-save deal is definitely worth considering. Plus, the brand has a generous 100-day return window and a lifetime warranty.

Best Trunk Set

July trunk set.

We love the scuff-proof, glossy exterior of these trunks.

There aren't many organizational features in either bag.

These compact trunks are slightly smaller than other travel trunks , but for those who prefer this shape to traditional suitcases, the July Trunk Set is a great option. Both bags are sufficiently spacious and fit our entire packing lists, although we did need to do some strategic arranging in order to easily close the trunks. We do love that each trunk is designed with two durable clips to latch them closed as opposed to zippers, and each latch is built with a TSA-compliant lock right into the device.

Like much of July's luggage , these trunks are both extremely portable as they're relatively light. But that doesn't mean they're flimsy — the glazed polycarbonate shells are durable and only sustained minor dents after we hit each trunk with a bat multiple times. Plus, the interior nylon lining is water-resistant and stain-proof, enhancing the sets' longevity.

The Details: 2 pieces (21.7-inch and 28.25-inch) | Hardside | 4 spinner wheels

Best Budget

Amazon basics hardside spinner.

• Design 4 /5
• Value 4.7 /5

Amazon's luggage sets are not just affordable, they’re also durable with unexpectedly large capacities.

The suitcases don't have TSA locks or USB ports.

Amazon Basics makes our favorite budget-friendly luggage, and you can save even more by buying it in sets of two or three. We were pleasantly surprised by the hardside spinner suitcases we tested. While we would have appreciated a few more pockets, we had no problem fitting everything on our list without the expanders, which increase the capacities by 15 percent.

Not only that, but the thick thermoplastic shells took our bat swings and shoves like a champ — no dents or scratches to speak of. Though rolling over the gravel wasn't the smoothest, these suitcases were easy to maneuver as well. They don't have USB ports or TSA locks, and the color options are somewhat limited. But considering the agreeable price point and three-year warranty, this is a pretty sweet deal for a luggage set.

Best Expandable

Travelpro hardside luggage set.

• Capacity 4.9 /5
• Design 4.5 /5
• Durability 4.8 /5
• Value 4.8 /5

Backed by a lifetime warranty, these smooth-rolling suitcases are notably spacious with built-in expanders.

You won't save money by purchasing the luggage as a set.

All of the Travelpro luggage models we tested earned high ratings, but the Platinum Elite hardside collection might be our favorite. This two-piece set includes a matching carry-on and checked bag, each with spacious, expandable capacities. You can also add matching bags like the underseat duffel or rolling garment bag for a more complete set that fits every travel occasion. We could fit every last item on our list with room to spare, and the expanders add another two inches to the depth. The various pockets, zipper panels, and cross straps help with packing, too.

While we noticed a couple of superficial marks after whacking and shoving the suitcases, they didn't dent or scratch. The carry-on rolled a little better on two wheels than four, but otherwise, the Platinum Elite line is very easy to maneuver. Another thing to note is that buying the suitcases as a set isn't actually more affordable than purchasing them separately. Still, we think the price is fair and appreciate the 100-day return policy and lifetime warranty.

Most Durable

Delsey paris 2-piece luggage set.

• Maneuverability 4.2 /5
• Durability 4.3 /5

These suitcases have glossy exteriors in your choice of jewel tones, and they don't scuff.

The carry-on isn't as smooth on all four wheels, and the handle feels somewhat flimsy.

We like the stylish and functional design of Delsey's Helium Aero collection. The jewel-toned suitcases will be easy to spot on a baggage carousel, and they won't show up scuffed or damaged. After hitting the bags multiple times with baseball bats, they showed no signs of damage — a sure indicator that they will survive all of your long-haul flights. This glossy hardside luggage set comes with a compact carry-on and a checked spinner suitcase . We didn't need the expanders to fit everything on our packing lists, but since there aren't many interior pockets, you might want to use packing cubes . 

These lightweight suitcases are generally easy to maneuver and turn on a dime. However, the carry-on was slightly rickety on all four wheels, and we thought the handle felt a little flimsy. This luggage brand is one of the most affordable we tried, and you'll save even more by buying a set. Helium Aero suitcases are also backed by a 10-year warranty.

The Details: 2-3 pieces (21-inch, 25-inch, and/or 29-inch) | Hardside | 4 spinner wheels | Expandable

Best Lightweight

Kenneth cole reaction hardside spinner suitcase set.

These sleek yet rugged suitcases have spacious two-compartment interiors and smooth-rolling spinner wheels.

The hard shells are prone to minor scuffs.

If you tend to overpack , lightweight luggage can help balance out your load. The Kenneth Cole Out of Bounds 2-piece set comes with a 5.7-pound carry-on and a 9.8-pound checked suitcase. While they look small, the two-compartment interiors are surprisingly spacious. After packing the checked suitcase with enough stuff to get through a week-long trip, the spinner wheels still turned sharply and moved smoothly on hard floors and carpet.

The sleek yet rugged hard-shell exterior survived drops and bat hits during testing, sustaining only minor scuffs. These lightweight, durable, and stylish suitcases are an excellent value as is, but you'll save even more by buying them as a bundle. Plus, Kenneth Cole backs the set with a 10-year warranty.

The Details: 2 pieces (20-inch and 28-inch) | Hardside | 4 spinner wheels

Coolife Spinner Trolley Suitcase Set

• Capacity 4 /5
• Maneuverability 4 /5

Coolife Spinner Trolleys have strong yet flexible hard shells that resist dents, scratches, and scuffs.

They are not expandable.

Durability is essential for luggage, and Coolife doesn't disappoint. While this isn't the least expensive set on our list, the brand's two-piece Spinner Trolley Set includes a sizable checked suitcase and a carry-on that prove durable and long-lasting. These suitcases are made of ABS+PC (acrylonitrile butadiene and polycarbonate), a super-strong thermoplastic blend. After whacking the carry-on with a bat and shoving it off multiple surfaces, there was no visible damage.

These suitcases aren't expandable. However, the slightly flexible hardside exterior and stretchy cross bands made it easy to stuff in everything on our packing list in organized compartments. And the bags have TSA locks for an extra layer of protection. The four-wheel design is a piece of cake to maneuver, too, though it doesn't roll as smoothly on two wheels. Though Coolife's two-year warranty is relatively short, we wouldn't be surprised if this luggage set lasted several years. Considering the affordable price, you'll get plenty of bang for your buck.

Best Eco-friendly

Paravel aviator set.

• Design 4.9 /5

These durable, carbon-neutral suitcases are made of recycled materials and aircraft-grade aluminum.

We wish each side of the suitcase was a bit deeper to fit bulkier items.

Looking for eco-friendly luggage? Paravel is your best bet. Not only are these some of the most elegant suitcases out there, the brand is also dedicated to keeping its suitcases carbon-neutral , the brand offsets emissions at every point, from sourcing and assembly to shipping and delivery. We tried the Aviator Carry-on Plus and Grand Checked models, which are made of recycled materials and exceptionally durable aircraft-grade aluminum.

Though they don't expand, we loved the spacious compartments, dividers, pockets, compression panels, and removable laundry bags. For long trips, these suitcases were especially helpful since they are so light, you can really pack them to capacity without wasting any precious weight on the shell itself. Both suitcases stood up to our durability tests and only showed minor scuffing after being checked during six different flights. They were also easy to push, pull, and roll over multiple surfaces. The sophisticated aesthetic doesn't hurt either. While Paravel's price range is slightly steep, the brand backs its luggage with a five-year warranty.

The Details: 2 pieces (21.7-inch and 28-inch) | Hardside | Four spinner wheels

Best Maneuverability

Delsey paris chatelet 2-piece set.

The classically stylish suitcases are easy to maneuver over any surface.

They do not expand, so they can be difficult to pack.

If you're looking for a stylish luggage set that includes plenty of storage options, security locks, and easy-to-maneuver 360-degree wheels, consider the Delsey Paris Chatelet set. Whether you're interested in a carry-on and 28-inch checked bag , a 24-inch and 28-inch checked bag , or all three , this collection is perfect for every adventure. Despite their light, sleek coloring, all three bags survived being hit with bats multiple times without so much as a scratch during testing. In fact, after we checked them on multiple international flights, the 21-inch carry-on and 24-inch medium checked bag both survived with minimal scuffs that we could easily wipe away.

We also loved the bags' four 360-degree wheels that make rolling an absolute breeze. Throughout three months of real-world testing, we found ourselves running through airports, maneuvering onto escalators, and pulling the suitcases over curbs, sand, dirt, and asphalt without any issues whatsoever. And when it comes to lifting, the Chatelet set proved to be lightweight. Plus, the handles quickly slide back into the case, so you don't skip a beat going from pulling to carrying. We brought this set on planes, trains, and even cruise ships, and the suitcases easily navigated every surface and fit in every small corner.

The Details: 2 or 3 pieces (21-inch and 28-inch; 24-inch and 28-inch; or 19-inch, 24-inch, and 28-inch) | Hardside | Four spinner wheels

Best Design

Béis hardside luggage set.

• Design 4.8 /5

Béis suitcases have roomy compartments, zippered sections, multiple pockets, laptop sleeves, and separate pouches for shoes or laundry.

The lighter colors may show scuffs.

Béis is already known for its accessible price points, but you can save 10 percent on a set of two hardside suitcases or 15 percent on three. Founded by actress Shay Mitchell , the brand is among the best for organization. Earning perfect scores for capacity, organization, design, and maneuverability during our tests, these are some of the easiest bags to pack and help keep your items easy-to-access throughout your whole vacation. We tried the Carry-on Roller and Large Check-in Roller, each with two roomy interior compartments, a zippered mesh section, multiple smaller pockets, a padded laptop sleeve, and a separate pouch for shoes or dirty clothes.

The suitcases are also conveniently expandable, and four-point compression straps help keep everything in place. The hard shells feel sturdy and thick yet flexible, and we only noticed a small scuff after hitting them with a bat. Béis luggage is easy to push on its spinner wheels, and we had no problem lifting it overhead. A 90-day return policy and a lifetime warranty are icing on the cake of an all-around great luggage set, and it's possible to add other smaller bags like weekenders in coordinating colors, too.

The Details: 2–3 pieces (21-inch, 26-inch, and/or 29-inch) | Hardside | 4 spinner wheels | Expandable

Other Luggage Sets We Liked

We have a few more luggage sets we feel confident recommending after testing, although we didn't like them quite as much as the others on our list.

Antler Brixham Set : We love that these softside bags are shockingly strong and let you squeeze in more items than more structured hardside suitcases. However, they have a fairly basic design without additional pockets or storage compartments.

Travelpro Roundtrip Carry-on/Medium Check-in Hardside Set : We like this set for how spacious and stylish the suitcases are, but the checked size held up much better than the carry-on in our durability tests; when we hit the carry-on with the baseball bat, the reinforced corner of the suitcase chipped and flew off.

The Travel + Leisure team has tested more than 450 pieces of luggage in the lab, our New York City testing facility that features an airplane set with a real row of seats and overhead bins. To see how they'd hold up in a real-life setting, we packed them full of clothing and other items; rolled them over hard floors, carpet, and gravel; placed them in an overhead bin ; hit them with a metal baseball bat; and shoved them off tables.

Travel + Leisure/Joy Kim

After awarding each model a score for capacity, maneuverability, durability, design, and value, we narrowed it down to those with the highest average ratings. The winners of this roundup not only performed well in the lab and during six months of real-world travels but are also available in matching sets. We will update this article as we continue to test even more luggage sets that we like.

Tips for Buying a Luggage Set

Decide if you want a hardside or softside.

You'll see many hardside and softside options when browsing luggage sets. Rigid exteriors offer better protection against crushing, and while lighter colors are often prone to scuffing, they're easy to wipe clean. Softside suitcases are sometimes trickier to clean, but they conceal dirt and scuffs (and can be just as durable as hardside models). Softside suitcases are a bit more flexible when packing, too.

Only get what you need

It might be tempting to buy a luggage set with three or even four pieces, especially if it's available at a discount. However, we recommend getting only what you need and know you'll use. Two suitcases are plenty for most individual travelers, but you may need more if you're traveling as a family, with a partner, or heading on an extended trip .

Prioritize well-made items

Even the least expensive luggage sets are an investment, so you want to choose a long-lasting design. It's important to select high-quality luggage that can withstand rough baggage handlers and other stresses of travel while protecting all of your items. When looking for a new luggage set, you should prioritize durable cases that won't scuff or tear, sturdy wheels that can handle the bag's weight, comfortable handles that won't break, and quality interiors that will keep everything you pack safe.

Many travelers appreciate the crush-resistant exterior of hardside suitcases , especially if they're traveling with tech equipment or want to avoid wrinkling delicate clothing . The rigid exteriors are also easy to clean and flaunt a sleek, modern appearance.

That said, softside luggage can be very durable, plus it's easier to stuff full and often has external pockets where hardside models don't. The choice is ultimately a matter of personal preference, though all of our winning sets in this article happen to be hardside suitcases.

Oftentimes, buying sets can save you money since many luggage brands offer suitcase sets at a discount. However, other companies simply bundle pieces to demonstrate the ability to build your own matching set, which can be helpful when searching for your bag at a luggage carousel. If a discount isn't mentioned when you're buying a luggage set, you can add up the individual bag prices and compare that total to the bundled price to see if it's a better deal.

Most sets include two or three pieces of luggage with at least one carry-on item and one checked item. Sets that offer three bags usually provide an additional checked bag of a different size. If you're a frequent traveler, heading off on a long adventure, or traveling with family, you may want a three-piece luggage set to give yourself more options and packing space while maintaining the convenience of matching.

The 7 best luggage sets for 2024, tested & reviewed.

A good luggage set goes a long way.

The Best Luggage Sets

Courtesy of Away

A quality luggage set is a worthy expenditure no matter how often you travel, especially since you can use each bag on its own – not just as a set – depending on the trip and your needs. While many brands offer full luggage sets for one price, others sell each bag individually, allowing you to customize your purchase.

Upgrade your travels with one of these luggage sets, all of which are highly rated and have been tested and reviewed by our team of experts.

Best Overall: Away The Carry-On and The Medium

Best expandable: briggs & riley essential 22" carry-on expandable spinner and medium expandable spinner, best lightweight: july carry on light & checked light classic set, best for international travel: delsey paris helium aero 3 piece set, best budget: amazon basics softside spinner suitcases, best luxury: carl friedrik the luggage set.

• Best for Families: COOLIFE Luggage 4 Piece Set

(Note: Prices and availability were accurate at the time of publication; they may fluctuate due to demand and other factors.)

Price: $570 or less

If you've ever considered The Carry-on by Away , we recommend bundling it with The Medium (or The Large or The Trunk , depending on your travel style). Not only will you be investing in the best luggage set on the market, but you'll actually save $50 by purchasing a carry-on and a checked bag at the same time.

Away luggage is known for its featherlight yet indestructible design – as well as the sleek aesthetic and interior storage features, including zipped mesh pockets and compression for maximizing space. Each piece comes with a luggage tag and laundry bag.

What our editors say:

In addition to The Everywhere Zip Backpack (which fits neatly under an airplane seat), I've found that using one or both of these bags has been more than enough luggage for my travel needs. – Amanda Norcross, Senior Content & SEO Strategist

Courtesy of Briggs & Riley

Price: $1,458 or less

Whether you're a heavy packer and/or looking for luggage that can expand if needed, Briggs & Riley is the top choice. Its 22" Carry-On Expandable Spinner and Medium Expandable Spinner feature a patented system that allows them to significantly expand and compress with the touch of a button. The soft-sided bags are also designed to keep clothing wrinkle-free with garment folders, cinch-down garment panels and the brand's signature Outsider handle, which is an exterior-mounted design that creates a flat packing surface.

Other features include self-repairing zippers, impact-resistant corner guards and a PowerPocket for charging devices on the go. One of the best luggage brands on the market, Briggs & Riley stands by its products with a lifetime guarantee.

The expandability and overall quality of this luggage is unmatched. Although expensive, this is one of those rare situations where the price is right. – Amanda Norcross

Courtesy of July

Price: $505 or less

The July Carry On Light weighs in at 3.9 pounds (the lightest double-wheeled suitcase on the market), and the checked case is 7 pounds, making it our top pick for the lightest luggage set. Constructed with durable aerospace-grade German polycarbonate, this hard-sided combo doesn't sacrifice quality or functionality in order to weigh less.

Both pieces have a three-stop telescopic handle, double spinner wheels and integrated TSA locks. The interior has a stain- and water-resistant lining and zipped mesh dividers to keep contents from shifting. When you're not on an adventure, the carry-on size nests within the checked size to save storage space.

Having a suitcase that doesn't start out too heavy is extremely important to me. I've tried multiple different types and styles over the years, and this set from July is far superior to any other lightweight options I've tried. – Rachael Hood, Senior Editor

Tips on Trips and Expert Picks

Travel tips, vacation ideas and more to make your next vacation stellar.

Courtesy of DELSEY PARIS

Price: $579.99 or less

This DELSEY PARIS Helium Aero three-piece hard-sided luggage set features a large checked bag, a medium checked bag and a carry-on. The 19-inch spinner fits within the strict luggage size requirements on the majority of international airlines, making it an excellent option for those who only need to travel with a carry-on. The 25-inch and 29-inch checked bags offer many of the same features as the carry-on, just with more room to store clothes and accessories.

All of these luggage pieces are lightweight with a durable polycarbonate exterior shell, a TSA-approved lock and smooth double-spinner wheels. There are tie-down interior straps on one side of each bag and a mesh pocket enclosure on the other. The bags are expandable (in case you need to squeeze in just a bit more stuff), and the carry-on provides an easy-to-access front pocket for important paperwork or a laptop up to 15.6 inches.

The lightweight and sleek DELSEY PARIS Helium Aero luggage set is a great addition to any globe-trotter's luggage arsenal. I know I can travel with the carry-on and fit it into the overhead bin no matter where I'm going because of its slightly smaller measurements. However, even though it's smaller, it can accommodate an impressive amount of clothes, shoes and accessories, and its interior straps and organizational pockets make it easy to use. I love the glossy and textured exterior, and it has held up incredibly well with no dents or dings. – Erin Evans, Managing Editor

Erin Evans | U.S. News

Price: $191 or less

The Amazon Basics line of luggage is the best bang for your buck on the market – you can't really beat three reliable suitcases for less than $200. This soft-sided luggage set includes a small 21-inch carry-on, a medium 25-inch checked bag and a large 30-inch checked bag. The bags are durable and feature a top-load design with a large interior zippered pocket and compression straps to keep everything snug. There are handles on the top, side and bottom to allow for easy placement in overhead bins, in cars or on luggage scales.

The luggage set is available on Amazon Prime, so if you need quality, affordable luggage in a pinch, you can get it shipped to you quickly.

This affordable soft-sided luggage is a steal – the quality is excellent. The wheels (very smooth) and zippers (durable and easy to zip) are particularly impressive for an Amazon bag. – Erin Evans

Price: $1,085 or less

Courtesy of Carl Friedrik

If you're looking for sleek, understated luxury, this set is just the ticket. These suitcases have a durable aluminum frame; a tough yet classy polycarbonate hardshell exterior; and Italian leather details. The Carry-on X has an integrated front pocket for your laptop, travel documents and other quick-find essentials. On the inside, there's a compression pad and compression straps to hold your items in place and maximize space. Both pieces have a sturdy telescoping handle, silent spinner wheels and integrated TSA locks.

Combining classic styling with durable materials, Carl Friedrik luggage is ideal for travelers seeking the finer things in life. From leather details to luxury accents and the way these suitcases glide along, if you want a sophisticated set, this is it. – Rachael Hood

Best for Families: Coolife Luggage 4 Piece Set

Courtesy of COOLIFE

Price: $199.99 or less

Not only can the Coolife Luggage 4 Piece Set accommodate the whole family's belongings, but it's also one of the best luggage deals you'll find. The hard-sided luggage set has earned nearly 30,000 reviews and an average 4.6-star rating on Amazon for its lightweight design, easy-to-use TSA locks and overall quality at a surprisingly affordable price.

Inside each suitcase you'll find packing straps to secure clothing as well as zippered pockets for organizing accessories and other items. With two carry-on sizes (the 16-inch and 20-inch) and two checked bags (the 24-inch and 28-inch), several or all family members can each have their own bag.

You really can't beat the price of this four-piece luggage set (which often has an Amazon coupon available at checkout). The colors, which are even more vibrant in real life, also make it easy to locate your luggage at baggage claim. – Amanda Norcross

Why Trust U.S. News Travel

To determine the best luggage sets, our team of travel experts tested carry-on and checked luggage pieces from a range of price points.

It’s finally time to get away! As you plan your trip, you realize that your grungy backpack will no longer do. It’s time for a brand new luggage set.

The first point to ponder before buying luggage is your lifestyle. Do you need lightweight soft-side suitcases for fun weekend trips? Are you looking for durable hard-side bags that will stand up to your road-warrior schedule?

The second consideration is personal style. High-end fashion designer or established luggage brand? Do you want a women’s luggage set with a stunning print or a classic black or gray men’s luggage set? There are seemingly endless choices.

Travel Light with Carry-On Bags

Between fees for checked bags and the wait to retrieve them at baggage claim, many people prefer to go with carry-on luggage only. Carry-ons don’t have to be ultra-tough because they won’t endure rough treatment from baggage handlers. Hard-side wheeled carry-ons are still nice to have, though, because at times you won’t feel like lugging bags as you rush to your next gate.

If you love a coordinated look, it’s easy to find 2-piece luggage sets. Many include a spinner suitcase and a smaller bag that attaches to its handle. A wheeled duffel is an easy-to-pack option, while an under-seat carry-on gives you quick access during a flight.

Checked Baggage for Big Trips

For longer trips, check-in luggage is a must. You can buy these roomy bags alone and round out your collection over time. A 3-piece luggage set gives you a selection of essentials from the start.

A Suitcase Set for Every Member of the Family

Part of the secret to keeping kids happy during travel: Keeping them entertained. Children’s luggage sets from brands such as Traveler’s Club include a hard-side carry-on, lunch bag for essential snacks, backpack for electronics and coloring books and a neck pillow. The other three pieces stow compactly on the carry-on’s trolley handle!

If you're headed on a long trip or just consider yourself an over-packer, you might need more than one bag for your belongings (not to mention space to overfill with souvenirs on the way home). Instead of lugging around a hodgepodge of pieces, consider a luggage set. There's nothing more chic and put together than carrying a coordinating set of luggage complete with carry-on and checked bags. And if you're vacationing with kids or family, traveling with a matching set is a great way to keep track of all your bags. But with so many options to choose from, including different types of materials and all kinds of organizational features, it can be difficult to decide which luggage sets will look great, hold up to frequent use and really be worth the splurge.

Samsonite continues to stand out in our Lab evaluations and has wowed our consumer testers , earning it the title of best overall luggage brand . This luggage set includes two of our top-tested suitcases from the brand's Freeform collection — the smaller 21-inch carry-on model and the larger 28-inch checked bag. These suitcases are made of durable hardside material that performed well in our drop tests, resisting major damage after being released repeatedly at different angles from a set 3-foot height.

When we packed the suitcases with a standard load of items like clothing, shoes and accessories, we were impressed by how well everything fit inside with room to spare — even without having to use the 2-inch expansion system. One caveat: Some of our testers noted that the carrying handles on suitcases in this collection felt a bit tight, which made it more difficult to lift or lower the bags. However, the telescopic handles received higher scores for feeling sturdy and comfortable to use. Testers also appreciated how easily the suitcases navigated around twists and turns and said the 360-degree spinner wheels were smooth.

Pieces: 2 | Sizes: 21-inch and 28-inch suitcases | Material: Hardside polypropylene | Expandable: Yes | Returns: Within 30 days, unused

At less than $100 for three pieces, this basic American Tourister trio is an absolute steal and one of the best affordable luggage sets out there. While the softsided carry-on, checked bag and personal item may be simple, they're still full of practical features that make traveling easier like plenty of external pockets, interior mesh pockets and compression straps to secure your belongings.

The brand's bags aren't as durable as others we've tested in the Lab, so I recommend this set for someone who isn't planning to fly frequently. According to one GH analyst who has used this set for nearly a decade, the bags have still held up well to repeated use. She added that the softside polyester material is slightly worn with some fraying and scuffs, but the bags are still useable, and the important features, like the telescopic handles and zippers, are in working condition. When we evaluated other suitcases from American Tourister, testers highlighted the smooth and stable wheels, and online reviewers say they roll nicely, despite only moving forward and backward.

Pieces: 3 | Sizes: 21-inch and 25-inch suitcases, 10-inch personal item | Material: Softside polyester | Expandable: No | Returns: Within 30 days, unused

Originally designed by a pilot for other pilots who are always on the go, Travelpro's luggage is the perfect pick for the frequent flyer, and I'm particularly impressed by the brand's Platinum Elite collection. The softside suitcases were some of the top performers in our durability tests , withstanding repeated dropping without dents or damage. The nylon material resisted signs of wear after being rubbed back and forth with our abrasion tester. They are heavier than many of the other bags we tested, but they are durable bags built to last.

The suitcases are thoughtfully designed with a tapered expansion system that prevents the bags from tipping over when full. Self-aligning spinner wheels let you push and pull in all directions, and cushioned handles with contoured grips add a comfortable feel. Plus, they're packed full of extras inside like expandable garment bags, toiletries bags and hidden USB ports to charge electronic devices (power bank not included). Our testers gave luggage in this collection high scores for ease of use and highlighted the sturdiness of the telescopic handle. If you're nervous about committing to the high price tag, the brand offers a 100-day return policy, even for used suitcases.

Pieces: 2 | Sizes: 21-inch and 25-inch suitcases | Material: Softside nylon | Expandable: Yes | Returns: Within 100 days, any reason

For luggage that looks as great as it performs, I recommend Calpak's Ambeur two-piece luggage set, which offers the best of fashion and function. Available in five fun metallic shades that are sure to stand out at baggage claim, the bags are made of a composite of polycarbonate and ABS plastic that aced our Lab tests for durability. They also proved water-resistant in our evaluations, but did show noticeable markings after we dragged a wire across the surface during our scratch-resistance tests.

The bags are GH-tester favorites and earned top marks for their performance in our luggage obstacle course which had testers pull the suitcases over different surfaces and around sharp turns. Testers especially loved the sturdy and easy-to-use telescopic handle. When we assessed the suitcases in the Lab, we were impressed by the zippers that opened and closed with ease. The spacious interior compartments were able to hold our entire packing load of items including clothing, shoes and toiletries. Both the carry-on and checked bag are expandable and equipped with zippered organizational pockets, compression straps and a removable toiletries bag. For even more organization, you can try Calpak's top-tested packing cubes too.

Pieces: 2 | Sizes: 21-inch and 29.5-inch suitcases | Material: Hardside polycarbonate and ABS composite | Expandable: No | Returns: Within 30 days, unused

Not only does this two-piece luggage set from Amazon Basics have more than 34,000 five-star reviews, but it also earned high scores in our Lab evaluations and was loved by our testers. The carry-on and checked suitcase both unfold into two main packing compartments, one with compression straps to keep your belongings in place and another with a full zippered panel for even more security. When we packed the carry-on bag in the Lab, we fit an entire weekend's worth of gear including clothing, shoes and toiletries with room to spare. Plus, both of the suitcases expand for even more space.

The hardside suitcases are made of lightweight ABS plastic that keeps the price low, though it wasn't as scratch-resistant as some other suitcases we tested. It did hold up well in our drop tests though, with no serious denting or breakage after being released repeatedly from a set 3-foot height. When testers rolled the suitcases through our luggage obstacle course, around turns and over different surfaces from wood to carpeting, they were impressed by the maneuverability and wheel performance.

Pieces: 2 | Sizes: 20-inch and 28-inch suitcases | Material: Hardside ABS plastic | Expandable: Yes | Returns: Within 30 days, unused

As the name implies, these Delsey Helium DLX suitcases are some of the lightest we've evaluated in the Lab. No more lugging around bulky bags or struggling to lift your carry-on into the overhead bin. Despite being so lightweight, these bags are tough. In our tests for durability, the luggage held up well after being released repeatedly in our drop tests, and the softside nylon material showed no signs of wear after being rubbed back and forth 15,000 times by our abrasion tester.

In our evaluations, we found the exterior zippers a bit tricky to use, and the bags received lower scores for maneuverability than other suitcases we tried, but they did earn high scores for their comfortable gripped telescopic handles and for being easy to pack. All three of the suitcases open into one primary packing compartment with compression straps, and the lids of each bag are equipped with zippered pockets and elastic sleeves for additional storage. There are removable bi-fold organizers inside as well. I particularly love that the linings can be unzipped and removed for easy cleaning.

Pieces: 3 | Sizes: 20-inch, 25-inch and 29-inch suitcases | Material: Softside nylon | Expandable: Yes | Returns: Within 30 days, unused

Designed with simplicity in mind, this two-piece set from luggage brand Monos has a sleek, modern look that our testers love. Both of the bags opened to reveal two spacious compartments that were able to fit our entire load of items in our packing tests. The carry-on bag features an adjustable compression panel, while the larger checked bag is equipped with compression straps and a larger fabric panel to keep everything in place. What's more, there are plenty of organizational mesh pockets inside the bags, along with additional shoe bags and a laundry bag to separate your dirty clothes.

During Lab evaluations, the durable carry-on and checked suitcase resisted major denting and damage in our drop tests. Both we and our consumer testers noticed prominent scuffing on the suitcases after use, but the brand provides a sponge for cleaning. One GH analyst said the sponge removed most of the marks on her bag. In our luggage obstacle course, testers appreciated the smooth gliding wheels and loved how effortless it was to maneuver the bags around twists and turns. They also noticed how well the telescopic handles locked into place at four different heights for easy toting.

Pieces: 2 | Sizes: 22-inch and 26.5-inch suitcases | Material: Hardside polycarbonate | Expandable: No | Returns: Within 100 days, unused

Popular luggage brand Away carries sets of its best-selling carry-on and large checked bag for a better value — $50 off the full retail price. The hardside suitcases are loved by testers who highlighted the streamlined look and the spacious, well-organized interior. The bags open into two separate packing compartments with zippered mesh panels and pockets for additional space. There's also an adjustable compression panel inside each bag so you can really stuff it full if you're an over-packer like me. When we packed the bags in the Lab, we appreciated how smoothly the zippers opened and closed and how much we could fit inside.

The polycarbonate material is super lightweight — even lighter than some of our favorite softside luggage — and ultra-durable. It performed well in our drop tests, remaining in great condition after being released multiple times from a set 3-foot height. In our scratch tests, the bags showed minimal scuffs and markings. One caveat: Our consumer testers gave the telescopic handle lower ratings for feeling a bit wobbly when fully extended. The bags received high scores for their maneuverability and smooth wheels. If you want to add a personal touch to your luggage set, Away offers monograms of up to three letters for an added fee.

Pieces: 2 | Sizes: 21.7-inch and 29-inch suitcases | Material: Hardside polycarbonate | Expandable: No | Returns: Within 100 days, unused

If you're on Instagram or TikTok, chances are that you've come across viral luggage brand Béis . Actress Shay Mitchell's trendsetting travel brand offers carry-ons, checked bags, weekender bags and more — all thoughtfully designed. The suitcases feature details like cushy padded telescopic handles, a retractable strap to hold a small bag or your travel blanket and a built-in weight indicator to let you know if your bag exceeds 50 pounds. I'm especially a fan of the chic monochromatic color options — even the metal of the telescopic handle matches.

When we tested the brand's suitcases in the Textiles Lab, my fellow GH analysts and I were impressed by how well the luggage withstood dents and damage after being released repeatedly from our drop tester. We did note that the material was more prone to scratches and scuffs than other luggage we tested. The suitcases open butterfly style, exposing a spacious zippered compartment and a compartment with a secure compression strap. A few smaller pockets help keep your things organized. You can choose which pieces to include in your luggage set , so the price and number of pieces vary depending on your selections.

Pieces: 2 | Sizes: and 28.3 inch suitcases | Material: Hardside polycarbonate | Expandable: No

Whether you prefer traveling with a duffel, want something that will hold up to your outdoor adventures or are looking for a more sustainable luggage option, Eagle Creek has you covered. The brand's Migrate duffels are sold individually, but I like how you can build your own set with five sizes ranging from 40L to 130L. Each bag is convertible: You can carry it with the attached handles or wear it on your shoulders like a backpack. The larger checked sizes can also be tilted back to roll on the ground with the built-in wheels, while the smaller duffels (like the brand's 40L duffel ) make a convenient carry-on.

All of the bags are made of 100% recycled polyester with a TPU coating that's water-resistant and easy to wipe clean. Plus, it's super durable, and one GH analyst who regularly travels with Eagle Creek duffels says the material holds up well to rough use. The duffels have a wide opening to make packing a breeze, and the large zipper tabs are convenient and easy to pull. Once your bag is packed, you can buckle the outer compression straps to secure your belongings.

How we test the best luggage

At the Good Housekeeping Institute , we test all kinds of luggage to determine which pieces are worth buying. We evaluate luggage in the Textiles, Paper & Apparel Lab and share it with consumer testers who bring the luggage on their own trips and then provide us with valuable feedback. Here's what we look for when we test suitcases:

• Size and weight: To ensure that the brands' listed dimensions for the suitcases are accurate, we measure each bag in the Lab. We weigh the bags and place carry-ons in a 22" x 14" x 9" area to make sure the suitcases meet most airline restrictions.

• Ease of use: We test the luggage to determine how easy it is to open and close zippers and built-in locks, raise and lower the telescopic handles, roll the wheels, grab the carrying handles and more. We then rate and score the luggage for overall ease of use.

• Packing: We fill each piece of luggage with a standard load of items like clothing, shoes, accessories and toiletries (pictured) to test the capacity. For larger checked bags, we pack them with a week's worth of items and for carry-on bags, we add a weekend trip's worth of items. We then score each suitcase on how much it's able to hold.

• Drop testing: We fill the suitcases with a standard amount of weight and then load them into our drop tester (pictured). We then release the luggage from a set 3-foot height and repeatedly drop the luggage from different angles, evaluating each piece for any dents, damages or scuffs.

Tripsavvy / Chloe Jeong

Investing in a luggage set makes sense if you’re a frequent traveler using more than one suitcase (either at a time or for different kinds of trips). From an aesthetic point of view, a coordinated luggage set looks smart. It is usually more affordable than buying each piece separately, and your suitcases are guaranteed to nest inside one another for easy, space-saving storage. Luggage sets typically include two or three pieces. Some brands offer pre-selected sets, while others give you the freedom of building your own set, often with the option of customizing colors, sizes, and features. 

To help you find the best luggage set, we tested some of the most popular options currently on the market in the TripSavvy lab and the real world. Each was evaluated for capacity, design, durability, maneuverability, and value, resulting in a total score that determined category winners from “Best Budget” to “Best for Business Travel.”

The Freeform Hardside Set from the tried-and-tested suitcase brand Samsonite includes a 21-inch carry-on spinner and a large 28-inch spinner. Both feature polypropylene, a durable hard plastic that stood up well to our testing process with barely any scuffs. It’s also incredibly lightweight, with the carry-on weighing just 6.5 pounds and the checked bag tipping the scales at 9.6 pounds. We loved the minimal, streamlined look of this luggage set and the bags’ deceptively large packing capacity. We could fit everything on our packing list without employing the handy expansion feature. 

Both suitcases feature a divider and enough pockets for efficient organization. We appreciated the cross-ribbon, which helps keep everything in place, but we would have liked a waterproof section for dirty laundry. The suitcases excelled in maneuverability, with four double spinner wheels and a sturdy, retractable pull handle offering the smoothest glide of any of the bags we tested. They were equally maneuverable over different surfaces and at different speeds, and we loved the easy transition between two and four wheels. Other highlights include an integrated ID tag and a TSA-approved combination lock.

Best Budget

Amazonbasics hardside three-piece set.

Burly, resilient construction

Impressive value

Top-notch maneuverability

No TSA-approved lock

This three-piece luggage set from AmazonBasics costs less than a single suitcase from many other brands on this list. It includes a 21-inch carry-on, a 26-inch checked bag that's perfect for short trips, and a larger 30-inch checked bag. All three suitcases feature extra-thick ABS plastic with a scratch-resistant finish that surpassed all expectations during our stringent durability tests. We loved these suitcases' simple yet sleek design and were impressed with how they moved on carpet and concrete. 

We especially liked that they could handle bumps and turns on all four wheels. The suitcases have double spinner wheels for 360-degree mobility and a well-made telescoping handle. You can also use the top handle for easy lifting on and off the luggage scale. Interiors feature 150-denier polyester, a divider, and three zippered pockets. We fit everything on our packing list before using the expansion feature but liked that we had that option if required. Choose your set in black, navy blue, blue, or orange. 

Pieces Included: 3 | Sizes: 21-inch, 26-inch, 30-inch | Materials: ABS plastic | Expandable: Yes

Best Hardside

Travelpro platinum elite medium check-in hardside set.

Solid handle with contoured grip

Easy to spin and move

Charging capabilities

One of the most expensive options

Those with room in the budget for high-end, branded hardside luggage will no doubt love the Platinum Elite set from Travelpro. It includes two pieces: a 21-inch carry-on and a 25-inch checked spinner. Both have 100 percent polycarbonate shells with a genuine leather trim and aluminum corner armor. The latter adds to the luggage’s sleek aesthetic and helps it to emerge undamaged from being beaten with a bat during testing. The carry-on has an external power bank pocket and fast-charge USB-A and USB-C ports. 

Both suitcases open clamshell-style, with two zippered divider panels and multiple accessory pockets. We liked that they offer a water-resistant pocket for damp laundry or toiletries and that the checked bag features adjustable compression straps. We could fit all of our belongings but did have to employ the expansion feature, which made the carry-on quite a squeeze to fit into our simulated overhead compartment. Nevertheless, we loved the set’s maneuverability with smooth-turning wheels and a comfortable textured handle. 

Pieces Included: 2 | Sizes: 21-inch, 25-inch | Materials: Polycarbonate | Expandable: Yes

Best Softside

Travelpro platinum elite expandable softside spinner set.

Plenty of storage solutions

Smart features

Scratch- and scuff-resistant fabric

Less spacious than some competitors

For softside fans, the fabric version of Travelpro’s Platinum Elite luggage set is an obvious choice. Featuring a 21-inch spinner, a 25-inch spinner, and a 29-inch spinner, it includes a suitcase for every occasion—all of them made from high-density nylon with a DuraGuard coating, leather accents, and chrome zippers. The set sustained zero marks or damage even after extensive drops and bat beatings. The carry-on boasts an integrated USB port and external battery pocket, while all three offer a drop-in, fold-out suiter to keep garments wrinkle-free. 

We were impressed with the organizational features, with multiple interior and exterior zippered pockets, a divider, and a compression system. One pocket is waterproof, making it handy for toiletries or other damp items. This set also utilizes the brand’s PrecisionGlide system, with self-aligning wheels and an airline-grade aluminum handle with four height settings and a contoured grip. We found the bags maneuvered well, although it took a little more effort on two wheels. Sets are available in a range of colors including black, blue, and Bordeaux.

Best for Business Travel

Beis luggage bundle.

Plenty of opportunity to customize

Cushioned tech compartment

Overweight alert

Can feel a little unwieldy

The Béis Luggage Bundle is completely customizable, with the ability to choose two or three pieces from a range of options, including hard- and softsided carry-ons, 26-inch spinners, and 29-inch spinners. You can match materials or choose some of each, while colors (ranging from professional black or navy to eye-catching maple) are also selected individually. Common features include water-resistant zippers (ideal for business trips in inclement weather), an integrated TSA-approved lock, and a weight indicator built into the side carry handle. 

We love the amazing storage capacity offered by each suitcase, with compartments on both sides and useful drawstring bags included for your shoes or dirty laundry. We especially like this luggage for business travelers because of the padded divider for storing your laptop securely. Other highlights include the 360-degree Hinomoto wheels and the cushioned pillow handle—both of which make travel a breeze no matter how often you’re on the road. We found the suitcases easy to turn around tight corners and over bumps, even on carpet. 

Pieces Included: 2 or 3 | Sizes: 21-inch, 26-inch, 29-inch | Materials: Polycarbonate or polyester | Expandable: Optional

Best Organization

Away suitcase sets.

Thoughtful and functional extras

Option for adjustable capacity

Choice of materials

Not all colors available in every size

If you're looking for a top luggage brand with great customer service, Away gives you options to build your luggage set from scratch. Start by choosing your carry-on (the brand offers a standard and a plus-size option), then add The Medium and/or The Large, with the biggest savings reserved for three-piece sets. Opt for polycarbonate or aluminum—we tested the polycarbonate, which stood up well with no dents and only a few superficial scratches. We liked that the suitcase came with a special sponge for removing these. Then, choose the Classic or the Flex version (the latter is expandable). 

You can choose the same color for each piece or go for different ones with shades such as black, green, asphalt, and blush. We loved the look of this luggage and how organized it is. Each piece opens into two halves separated by a zippered divider. An interior compression system keeps everything in place, while a hidden laundry bag provides space for your dirty items. Finally, the 360-degree spinning wheels guarantee smooth-gliding, quick-turning mobility. Top, side, and underside grab handles make lifting easy. 

Pieces Included: 2 or 3 | Sizes: 20-inch, 21-inch, 24-inch, 27-inch | Materials: Polycarbonate or aluminum | Expandable: Optional

Best Checked

Samsonite winfield 2 hardside luggage set.

Good interior layout

Handles well over most terrains

Cleverly patterned shell disguises any cosmetic damage

Limited colors on the official site

If you frequently take extended trips and need a dependable choice of checked bags, the three-piece Samsonite Winfield 2 Fashion Set includes both a 24-inch and a 28-inch suitcase and a handy carry-on. All three feature lightweight polycarbonate, which flexes under stress and then pops back into place—a phenomenon we saw for ourselves during our testing process. We liked that the brushstroke coloration effectively hid any scuffs or scratches, keeping your suitcases looking smart for longer. 

Each one is split into two halves by the zippered divider, which includes integrated pockets for maximum organization. We appreciated the bags’ ample space, the compression feature for keeping everything in place, and how they can expand to accommodate the results of a vacation shopping spree. With four multidirectional spinner wheels and a retractable handle, the set maneuvered smoothly over various surfaces, including concrete, carpet, and gravel. Extra features include a TSA lock and sturdy hoist handles. 

Pieces Included: 3 | Sizes: 20-inch, 24-inch, 28-inch | Materials: Polycarbonate | Expandable: Yes

Best Large Capacity

Delsey paris helium aero hardside luggage set.

Beautiful, distinctive colorways

Carry-on includes a cushioned tech sleeve

Not many interior pockets

If capacity is your top priority, you’ll love the three-piece Helium Aero luggage set from Delsey Paris. Made from polycarbonate, the suitcases survived our durability tests with a few barely noticeable surface scratches. We love the metallic jewel tones on offer and feel that they are both chic and easy to pick out at the luggage carousel. Including a carry-on, a small checked bag, and a large checked bag, the set opens clamshell-style to reveal two deep halves with plenty of space to spare. 

We could fit everything on our list with room left over, even before using the expansion feature. We did wish there were a few more pockets (interior organization consists of just two pockets, a zippered divider, and compression straps), but a set of packing cubes would provide an easy solution for those who prefer more structure. The carry-on has a separate front pocket with a padded laptop compartment. We found the suitcases easy to push or pull on hard floors and carpet and easy enough to pull on gravel. All suitcases have a TSA lock. 

Pieces Included: 3 | Sizes: 21-inch, 27.5-inch, 31.75-inch | Materials: Polycarbonate | Expandable: Yes

The Samsonite Freeform series is constantly topping our lists with its stellar performance and chic aesthetic. Maxing out every test, these cases particularly shine in maneuverability and generous capacity. If you are looking for a luggage set that gets the job done while leaving you enough money for the trip, we recommend the Amazon Basics Hardside Set .

First, we tested suitcase capacity by packing each one with a prescribed list of items meant to replicate a seven-day fall sightseeing trip (for checked bags) or a four-day trip (for carry-on bags). During the packing process, we evaluated the luggage’s storage and expansion features, noting how smooth the zippers were and how durable the overall construction was. 

Next, we tested maneuverability by pushing and pulling the suitcase over concrete, carpet, and gravel. We took each one through an obstacle course meant to simulate a busy airport or station, noting how easily the suitcase turned, how well it handled bumps, and how smooth the transition was from two wheels to four (and vice versa). 

Finally, we tested for durability by placing it on a counter and pushing it off multiple times. We also repeatedly beat it with a baseball bat, targeting potential weak areas, including the corners and wheel housings. We scored all suitcases from 1 to 5 for capacity, organization, maneuverability, durability, and value. Total scores informed our choice of category winners.

We tested individual pieces of luggage to make our evaluations. The following insights were gleaned from specific bags within the set as mentioned.

COOLIFE 2-Piece Set :  Although we only tested the carry-on in this set, we couldn't fault its long-lasting build or value. Though generally a solid option, we noticed the maneuverability was lacking (performing some tasks better on two wheels and some on four), and the internal compartment of the carry-on made packing bulky items a bit more complicated.

July Carry On & Checked Set : Stylish and well-designed with thoughtful touches such as internal compression pads and cloth bags for protection during delivery, this eye-catching set has a lot going for it. Unfortunately, our bat test left numerous scuffs on the light pink checked bag we tested, which also had difficulty rolling on uneven terrain.

Paravel Aviator Set Plus : The design, capacity, and maneuverability of the Aviator were all top-notch, and our tester loved that everything on our list fit into the Carry-on Plus with room to spare. It did show some scuff marks and blemishes, and though we think this is a great value, it isn't the cheapest set on the market.

What to Look For in Luggage Sets

While larger sets include an option for every travel scenario, smaller sets require you to decide between the suitcase sizes that best meet your needs. Usually, two-piece sets include a carry-on and either a medium or a large checked bag. The right choice depends on how long you typically travel, how many people you pack for, and where you usually go (cold destinations require bulkier layers than warm ones). Carry-on sizes vary from brand to brand. If you prefer a particular airline, check that the carry-on size of your chosen set is compatible with their size restrictions. As a general rule, expect international flights to have smaller weight allowances for carry-ons compared to domestic trips.

Suitcase materials come in two main categories: hardside and softside. Hardside luggage usually features polycarbonate, ABS plastic, or aluminum. The most popular materials for softside luggage are high-density nylon and polyester. Both options have their pros and cons. Many people like the modern look of hardside luggage, the fact that it provides rigid protection for their belongings (from both rough handling and thieves) and that it’s easy to clean. Others prefer softside luggage because it’s less prone to scratches, scuffs, and dents, while flexible sides are more forgiving for over-packers and oddly shaped items. 

Luggage sets on this list vary considerably, from just over $200 to just under $1,300—proving that there’s an option for almost any budget. While brand name and reputation determine much of the price, there are ways to minimize cost. Namely, sets with fewer pieces are obviously cheaper, while softside luggage is often more economical than hardside. Remember that it’s often worth investing a little bit more in a quality set that will stand the test of time, saving you from having to fork out more for a replacement in a few years. 

Purchasing a luggage set means always having the best-sized bag for your travels, whether you need a carry-on for an overnight business trip or a large checked bag for your annual family vacation . Usually, investing in a set is more economical than buying each piece separately. Coordinated luggage adds an element of seamless style to your travel look, especially since many brands design their pieces to fit together with connecting straps or sleeves. Finally, suitcase sets nest inside each other neatly, saving storage space at home and on the road. 

Most often, luggage sets have two or three pieces—typically, a carry-on and a medium or large checked bag. It’s also possible to find four- or five-piece sets, which add a matching duffel or under-seater. You should choose the set that best reflects your travel habits. For example, if you mostly travel solo on trips of a similar length, a two-piece set is likely sufficient. But, if your trips are less predictable, having a greater variety of suitcase sizes to choose from can be handy, while couples and families can share larger sets between them.

Some brands let you create your luggage set from scratch. You can choose how many pieces you want, which suitcase styles meet your needs best, the features you want, and your preferred colors. Often, pieces don’t have to match in color or style. This is a game-changer for those wanting different pieces for different family members at a single, discounted price or for those who plan on using each piece for a different occasion (a sober black carry-on for business, perhaps, and a pink checked bag for trips with friends).

Care guidelines differ from brand to brand and depend on the suitcase material. We always recommend checking individual manufacturer instructions before attempting to clean your luggage. However, as a general rule, hardside luggage made from polycarbonate or ABS is easily wiped clean with a damp cloth. You can remove dirt from softside luggage with a soft-bristled brush, while other stains may be successfully spot-cleaned. Either way, luggage should be fully dry when put away and stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.

All TSA-approved locks serve the same purpose—they allow your suitcase to be opened by a TSA agent with a master key rather than that agent having to damage your suitcase to see what’s inside. However, not all of them operate in exactly the same way, so the process for setting the code differs. Most come with easy instructions; if yours doesn’t, a quick search of the brand website should give you the answer you’re looking for. Otherwise, this website gives a good overview of different lock types. All TSA locks come with a factory code of 000.

A luggage set can save you a lot of money if you need multiple suitcases. And there is no shortage of great deals on luggage bundles.

As a frequent traveler, I know the importance of investing in high-quality, reliable luggage sets.

July Trunk Set : Best Luggage Set Overall

July takes an Aussie approach to travel, creating beautiful but rugged pieces that appeal to aesthetic-minded globetrotters unwilling to compromise on performance. Our July luggage review goes on a deep-dive into this brand and what sets them apart.

Their two-piece Trunk Set is the paradigm of their high standards, featuring the luxuriously modern Carry On Trunk and Checked Trunk.

There’s a lot to love about the July Trunk Set , starting with the crush-proof, high gloss German polycarbonate outer shell. The anodized steel detailing adds a metallic flair for undeniable style and eye-catching shine.

Clocking in at a hefty 8.6 lbs for the Carry-On and 10.6 lbs for the Checked Trunk, it is one of the heavier luggage sets on this list.

However, the low-profile SilentMove 360-degree spinner wheels offer a smooth, quiet glide over any surface, helping to mitigate any concerns about needing to lift or carry the pieces.

While on the topic of exterior features, it’s certainly worth mentioning the zipperless access. Instead, the July Trunk Set relies on twin latches with built-in one-touch TSA-approved locks to make opening or securing your luggage a breeze.

Rounding out the external bells and whistles is the 20-step telescoping handle, ensuring a comfortable fit at any height.

Moving to the interior, the July Trunk Set continues to delight. Both pieces include a water-proof, stain-proof nylon lining and Y-shaped compression straps with a leather finish. The odor-proof, removable laundry bags keep your clean clothes fresh and compress down.

The Carry-On Trunk has a capacity of 42L, while the Checked Trunk can hold a generous 95L. Both are divided into an 80-20 split, with a deep, lower section with plenty of space for bulkier items like hats, boots, and heavy coats.

The included shoe bags keep everything in place for effortless packing. With the inclusion of a built-in, ejectable power bank in the Carry-On, July has thought of everything you might need when venturing far from home.

• Pros & Cons
• Technical Specs
• Effortless wheel glide
• Lifetime warranty
• Crush-proof polycarbonate shell
• Protective covers are sold separately

Coolife Luggage 3 Piece Set : Best Affordable Luggage Set

Coolife’s sturdy but affordable luggage set may not be luxury, but it does include a 38L, 60L, and 93L carrying capacity for more space at a lower price point.

It’s an ideal introduction to the world of hardside luggage sets, particularly for those who don’t want to blow their entire travel budget on a more expensive option only to find that they prefer their old softside luggage.

Included in the 3-piece luggage set are 28-inch, 24-inch, and 20-inch lightweight suitcases with an external ABS shell, providing durable impact resistance and shock absorption.

The multi-directional spinner wheels offer a smooth and silent ride, though they tend to struggle over more significant bumps due to their smaller size. However, they’re just fine for handling the smooth linoleum of an airport floor.

The Coolife set also has built-in TSA combination locks , a three-step retractable handle, and a comfortable, rubberized grip in one trunk-style package.

Inside, you’ll find a nylon lining with snap-buckle closure cross straps and a generous mesh pocket for organizing small items such as cosmetics or chargers. One side also has a nylon skirt to help keep clean and dirty clothes separated.

If you’re looking for more choices, our article on cheap luggage sets has a full list!

• Impact-resistant shell
• Available in 15 colors
• Nest inside for easy storage
• You cannot use a separate lock
• Small wheels

Briggs & Riley Torq Collection : Most Durable Luggage Set

Briggs & Riley Torq Collection is designed to take its fair share of rides around the luggage carousel, thanks to its expertly-engineered construction from the 3-layer Makrolon polycarbonate shell to the built-in mesh suiter with anti-wrinkle cinchers.

As I read through the long list of included features, I couldn’t help but feel I was looking at the Ferrari of luggage sets.

You’ll first notice how surprisingly lightweight the Torq collection is. I opted for the Medium Spinner, a reasonable 8.9 lbs for 83.9 L of capacity, and the International 21″ Carry-On Spinner, clocking in at 6.9 lbs for 38 L of packing space.

The aircraft-grade aluminum handle feels sturdy, with three height adjustments and an ergonomic grip that sits comfortably in hand.

The integrated ID tag sleeve sits between the handlebars and has a bright orange accent, so you’ll always be able to spot this eye-catching set at the baggage claim.

Rounding out the exterior are self-repairing double zipper pulls, dual spinner wheels with metal ball bearings, and a classy leather nameplate to customize with your monogram.

Opening the case, I loved the 70/30 lid, offering a bit of depth in the bottom for handling bulky clothes. It’s also lined in light-colored camouflage, making it easier to hunt down items without the dark nylon of most other baggage sets.

If you’re traveling with business in mind, the Medium Spinner’s built-in mesh suiter is a lifesaver for keeping your clothes crisp. The adjustable foam roll bar holds two suits or four shirts and includes adjustable cinchers to hold everything in place.

• Lifetime guarantee
• Complimentary monogramming
• Rugged durability
• Limited color options
• Boxy, militaristic shape

Monos Luggage Set : Best Minimalist Luggage Set

Canadian brand Monos is the epitome of chic, toned-down luggage that still makes a statement. What truly elevates them to deserving of high praise is the rigorous set of 40 field tests they subject their bags to, including spinner wheel mileage, handle jerk, and tumbling.

With so much data behind the design, it’s fair to say that Monos luggage exists at the intersection of art and science. They’ve thought of everything, including the vegan leather ID tag and color-coordinated zippers.

The standard-sized Carry-On bag is very generous, thanks to the built-in compression pad and ballistic nylon straps. These same features carry over to the Check-In Medium and Check-In Large bags for a genuinely envy-worthy set of baggage .

I also appreciated the hidden laundry bag and the duo of shoe bags, which meant I could easily pack this beauty for a long weekend without fussing with an extra tote bag for my dirty clothes.

For a closer look, check out our full Monos luggage review .

• Unbreakable polycarbonate shell
• Microfiber liner
• Lifetime limited warranty
• Carry-On Plus won’t fit in all overhead storage
• It shows dirt and scuffs

Away Suitcase Set : Best Hardside Luggage Set

Away’s belief that travel makes people better shines through in their flawless designs, intricate details, and approachable price points.

However, their flexible pairing options set them apart as offering the best hardside luggage sets , allowing travelers to pick and choose the components while still getting a bundle discount.

When you choose the “Build Your Set” option , you start by selecting a Set of 2, which includes a Carry-On and The Medium or Large for a $50 discount. The Set of 3, which consists of all three bags, has a $100 discount.

I opted for the Set of 2, with the impact-resistant polycarbonate shell . From there, it was down to sizes and colors. I chose the standard-sized Carry On luggage set with The Medium checked bag.

Each piece of the Away luggage brand has whisper-quiet wheels, a combination TSA lock, and a black leather luggage tag, which harkens to Away’s thoughtfulness for the everyday traveler.

Perhaps best of all, the Carry-On bags can nest inside The Medium, making for easy storage until the next adventure, saving you a lot of hassle and closet space.

If you’re looking for more, check out our roundup of the best hardside luggage on the market.

• Chic designs
• High-quality compression
• Nesting luggage sets
• Lack of interior pockets
• The Bigger Carry-On bags do not meet the standard 22-inch size limit

Travelpro Maxlite 5 Breakaway : Best Soft Luggage Set

I’ve focused heavily on rugged, durable luggage. Still, the Travelpro Maxlite 5 Breakaway is my top choice for a softside luggage set thanks to its lightweight size, damage-resistant fabric, and impressive expansion capabilities. It’s no surprise this is our top pick here since Travelpro makes some of the best softside luggage on the planet.

This set includes a 21-inch Carry-On Expandable Spinner and a 25-inch Checked Expandable Spinner with a combined carrying capacity of 137 L.

Regarding weight, the Maxlite is practically dainty, at 5.4 lbs and 7.3 lbs, respectively. That means you can cash in on the excess poundage by over-packing to your heart’s content.

The outer fabric is DuraGuard-coated polyester, which offers water- and stain-resistance you won’t find on most fabric baggage. It also means the bag has 2 inches of extra space to accommodate another outfit. The high-tensile zippers can handle the pressure well but lack integrated TSA-approved locks.

There’s plenty of storage, with two exterior front pockets for quick-access items, a single interior zippered mesh pocket in the lid, and a side accessory pocket. The straps are less for compression and more for keeping things in place, as is expected in forgiving fabric luggage sets.

While I’m willing to concede that Travelpro Maxlite 5 Breakaway includes many budget-friendly features, it would be a disservice to readers not to mention the lackluster construction of the spinner wheels.

They provide smooth turning, but I’m constantly worried that one wayward bump will knock the thin plastic roller off my bag.

• Built for a Lifetime Limited Warranty
• Super lightweight
• Contour-grip handle
• Customers report that the handle sticks
• Flimsy wheels

Travelpro Maxlite Air : Best Lightweight Luggage Set

Like Travelpro’s fabric luggage, the Maxlite Air is a surprisingly lightweight luggage option , particularly amongst other polycarbonate shell options.

The three-piece set includes a 23-inch Carry-On at 6.3 lbs, a 27.5-inch Medium Checked at 8.5 lbs, and a 30.5-inch Large Checked at 10.1 lbs. However, these lighter weights come at a cost; the thinner shell tends to hold onto dents.

If you’re willing to compromise on a few barely-there impact marks, you’ll find that this luggage collection has a lot to love.

The inner nylon is eco-friendly, consisting of 100% post-consumer recycled bottles. It’s also color-coordinated with the outer shell cover, a lovely detail I find unfortunately rare in many other baggage sets.

There is plenty of zippered storage on the interior, including a full-size, zippered divider panel for keeping your shoes off your suits.

My favorite little treat was the cloth zipper panels that expand outward to provide an extra 2 inches of internal packing space.

• Flexible shell
• Built-in TSA lock
• Recycled lining
• Flimsy plastic feet
• Retains dings

Samsonite Winfield 2 : Best Samsonite Luggage Set

Samsonite has long held a title among the best luggage brands on the market thanks to its century-long history of creating rich, elegantly-designed pieces that combine form with function.

That heritage shines through in the Samsonite Winfield 2 , their take on a 3-piece, hardside luggage set.

It includes a 20″ Carry-On, 24″ Medium Checked, and 28″ Large Checked suitcase, each of which has an impact-absorbing polycarbonate shell that flexes under pressure to protect your belongings.

Unlike many other poly-shelled cases, Samsonite is exceptionally generous with handling straps on the top and side of the bags, making it easier to maneuver a crowded baggage carousel without watching your luggage slip out of your grip.

While I prefer the latch locks on trunk-style pieces over zipper locks, Samsonite luggage continues to impress me with its durable hardware construction, from the telescoping handle down to the multi-directional spinner wheels.

As a chronic overpacker, I was delighted to crack the Winfield 2 open, discovering an extravaganza of organization pockets for tucking away my last-minute necessities.

While I can take or leave the old-school nylon fabric pattern, all was forgiven, thanks to the sturdy Y-strap compression, skirted separator, and 2-inches of extra space for expansion.

• Sleek, metallic finish
• Heritage brand
• 10-year limited warranty
• Scuffs easily
• No removable laundry bag

Briggs & Riley Torq International Luggage Set : Best Luggage Set for International Travel

Designed with devices in mind, the Briggs & Riley Torq International Luggage Set takes everything we love about the standard Torq offerings with bonus pockets and protections for your must-have electronics when traveling the globe.

This international luggage includes a padded sleeve suitable for tablets up to 10.5 inches, a padded laptop sleeve designed to accommodate most 15-inch laptops, and an integrated USB cable in the front compartment’s hook-and-loop closure slip pocket.

Two more minor details that add a bit of pizazz are the cable-sized slip pocket and elastic pen loop, offering a perfect solution for keeping track of your Apple Pencil and charger.

Rounding out the list is an RFID-blocking pocket that protects your personal data, credit card numbers, and passports from would-be identity thieves.

Pair your Torq Internations with a Medium or Large Spinner, and you have an all-in-two solution for your international traveling needs.

• Lightweight
• Easy-access hinged compartment
• Power bank not included

Samsonite Valor 2.0 : Best Spinner Luggage Set

Samsonite joins the ranks again, proving that four wheels are better than two with their Valor 2.0 hardside cases. The coordinating set features a 20-inch carry-on and 28-inch checked bag in a stunning teal color.

The spinner wheels, while seeming too small for the sizeable set, are a joy to use thanks to their 360-degree turn radius. This spinner luggage makes navigating crowded airports an almost pleasant experience.

These bags handle corners like a pro and won’t let you down on more treacherous terrain like curbs and jetways.

Though the interior is nothing to write home about, it’s not lacking in amenities. The elastic cross-straps do a solid job of keeping your clothes from jostling around, and the full-size zippered mesh separator is a huge bonus.

• Stunning color
• Smooth spinner wheels
• No built-in laundry bag
• Lacks interior organizers

July Family Luggage Set : Best Family Luggage Set

July sets the standard again with the Family Luggage Set , an upgraded version of their iconic Trunk Set that includes the Carry On, Checked, and Checked Plus.

The aerospace-grade German polycarbonate has the same durable construction but a curved eggshell design and anodized aluminum bumpers that reduce impact damage.

The Family Luggage sets also feature the same SilentMove 360-degree spinner wheels, providing effortless glide across any terrain.

While it lacks the high-gloss finish of my top choice for best luggage sets of 2024, the fact that this set holds an impressive 232 L and can nest inside one another makes up for it.

You’ll also find it hard to resist the convenience of the built-in laundry bags, integrated TSA locks, and effortless Y-shaped compression straps available in each bag.

These features make the Family Luggage Set ideal for short or long trips, as you’ll never have to compromise on amenities regardless of how many pieces you’ll need to bring along.

• Carry-On includes a built-in power bank
• Easy storage at home
• Enough space for the whole family
• The black interior can be hard to see in low-light
• Only one external grip strap

Carl Friedrik Luggage Set : Best Men's Luggage Set

Since 2012, Carl Friedrik has demonstrated its knack for traditionally-crafted travel accessories, leather goods, and practical must-haves with an undeniably masculine aesthetic. Undoubtedly, the best luggage for men .

The Carl Friedrik Luggage Set – which includes The Carry-On and the Check-In – exemplifies these ideals, offering understated elegance in the form of lightweight, durable hardside luggage sets.

Each of the two bags features a polycarbonate outer shell, vegetable-tanned Vachetta leather detailing, and an aluminum lock frame with side-mounted TSA locks to keep your belongings safe.

The Japanese-made Hinomoto 360-degree spinner wheels give you easy maneuvering without unwanted noise and are the gold standard for luggage wheels.

Upon opening the 8.6 lb Carry On and 9.9 lb Check-In luggage, you’ll be pleasantly surprised by the modular layout, light grey polyester lining, two sets of compression straps, and removable zippered compression pad designed to help you stay organized on the go.

The Carl Friedrik luggage set pairs beautifully with the brand’s Packing Cubes , a four-pack of compressible mesh cubes ranging from Small (26 x 11 x 10 cm) to Extra Large (32 x 26 x 10 cm).

• 100-day trial
• Optional add-ons
• Leather detailing
• The USB port is not quick-charge compatible
• Very expensive

Calpak Ambeur Luggage Set : Best Women's Luggage Set

With its stunningly subtle metallic finish and feminine shape, Calpak’s Ambeur collection has a well-earned spot as the best luggage sets for women.

It’s deliciously sleek in gold, black, rose gold, or silver and generously spacious, with a combined total capacity of 158 L between the Carry-On and Large Check-In. Both pieces set the standard for hardshell luggage, as the polycarbonate and ABS are lightweight and expandable up to 2 inches.

Both pieces feature four 360-degree spinner wheels, a telescopic aluminum handle, and built-in TSA-approved locks to give you peace of mind wherever you roam.

However, the Ambeur set’s real draw is the extra roomy interior compartments offering far more storage space than most other hardside luggage set options.

Both pieces have four interior pockets, including a large zipper that entirely separates the two halves of the trunk-style design.

One of my favorite extras, though, is the detachable accessory bag. It has just the right amount of extra storage space for tucking away last-minute additions to your packing list without digging out your cosmetics bag or tech sleeves.

Calpak also offers a 3-piece Ambeur Luggage Set, which includes the Carry-On, Medium Check-In, and Large Check-In for the globe-hopping gals who need even more extra space.

• 2-year warranty
• Plenty of interior sections
• Pairs well with the 5-piece Packing Cubes
• The metallic finish shows scratches and cuffs
• No built-in USB port

TUMI 19-Degree Aluminum : Best Luxury Luggage Set

If you’ve been on the hunt for a truly striking hardside luggage set, TUMI’s 19 Degree Aluminum is the travel companion for you. The fluid, sculpted design with gently lapping contours is more like ocean waves than aircraft-grade aluminum.

That dedication to durable, reliable construction extends to the 3-stage telescoping handles, which include a cushioned grip, push-button lock, and smoothly gliding poles. The four dual-spinning recessed wheels maintain the modern profile without adding extra bulk.

My favorite aspect of the big-budget luggage sets in the 19 Degree Aluminum collection is the hanger bracket, perfect for keeping crepe garments or linen dresses from looking messy when you’re ready to breeze around your latest locale.

While certainly on the upper end of luggage prices, it’s tough to beat the reliability, form, and function of the Tumi brand.

• Impressive size range
• 5-year warranty
• Tumi Tracer registration helps you find lost luggage

Monos Hybrid Luggage Set : Best 2 Piece Luggage Set

Monos offers another luggage collection called “Hybrid,” which adds anodized aluminum and bumper guards for even more resilience. It even has a metallic finish to match.

The Hybrid collection drops the zipper for an aluminum frame with integrated latch locks, a move that endeared me to the Canadian brand even more so than before. I love having quick, easy access to everything I need, something that complicated zipper locks don’t allow.

From there, it’s business as usual, with the other features matching the classic collection. You’ll still get the compression pad, antimicrobial inner liner, vegan leather details, and dreamy performance.

• Easy-open, trunk-style locking latches
• 100 days to try it out
• Sophisticated metallic finish
• Outer shell scratches easily
• Light colors show dirt

Best Luggage Sets FAQ

Buying a luggage set is an investment in your jet-setting lifestyle, offering small comforts and much-appreciated convenience as you wander the world.

To ensure you have all the insights you need to make an informed decision, I’ve covered a few of the most frequently asked questions about buying matching baggage.

What is the best brand of luggage sets?

In my humble opinion, July offers the best luggage sets in terms of durability, extra features, and overall style.

Not only are the pieces absolutely gorgeous, but July seems to have thought of everything a modern-day wanderer could dream of in reliable carry-on and checked luggage . From the sturdy wheels to the built-in TSA locks, there’s so much to love in every piece.

How many pieces should a luggage set have?

Most people will find that a 2-piece luggage set with a carry-on suitcase and checked suitcase is more than enough space for everyday travel with extra room for bringing home souvenirs.

That said, families may find that a 3-piece luggage set, which often includes an additional checked bag, offers a cost-effective way to maximize packing space without purchasing a set for every member of your travel party.

What's a reasonable price for a luggage set?

With that in mind, you can expect to pay around $75-100 per piece for more economical options, which means that a 2-piece set with a selection of carry-on luggage and checked baggage will run you between $150-200 in total.

However, you’ll be compromising many of the features on even mid-tier sets, such as built-in TSA locks, dirty laundry bags, and silent spinner wheels.

For that, expect a set to run you between $300-500, with additional costs for added features like zippered interior storage or compression pads.

If you’re considering a genuinely luxury brand, such as RIMOWA, TUMI or Carl Friedrik, be prepared for a price tag well over $1,000. However, at this price point, you can expect a durable, stylish, and roomy packing experience for years to come.

Which brand of luggage is the most durable?

Briggs & Riley and Osprey are two brands that make the most durable luggage on the planet.

Is hard or soft luggage better?

Whether you should purchase hard vs. soft luggage comes down to what you travel with.

Hardside luggage offers additional protection for digital devices like laptops and tablets. They’re also excellent for keeping suits, blouses, and other delicate clothing safe from wrinkling.

On the other hand, softside luggage sets can expand, allowing you extra packing space, along with external pockets for quickly accessing items from your carry-on bags.

If matching luggage is a low priority, I often find myself reaching for my hardside luggage for my checked bag and sticking with softside luggage for my carry-on.

Final Thoughts on the Best Luggage Sets

With such a wide range of features available on the best luggage sets, it can feel almost impossible to choose just one. Remember that the goal is to choose baggage that suits your travel style and keeps your stuff safe. Luggage is an investment, so spending a little extra for worry-free travel is more than worth it.

We encourage you to do extensive research to discover what features speak to you and designs that suit your style. From there, it’s as easy as clicking “Add to Cart.” Happy travels!
