The Best Unique Luggage (For Unique Travelers)

Smart Luggage

Smart luggage is definitely a unique type of luggage, and it’s perfect for the tech-savvy traveler. These suitcases have a few different digital features integrated into their design, but the most common ones are a power bank for your phone, Bluetooth, and an integrated digital scale.

Because they mostly have different features, let’s take a look at individual pieces of smart luggage.

Wrangler Smart Luggage

If your idea of unique luggage is a bag with unique features and not a unique design, then the Wrangler luggage is an excellent option for you. The suitcases are made from ABS plastic so they’re not the most durable bags out of the bunch, but that should only matter if you’re looking to get a checked suitcase.

Also, the prices of the luggage reflect the fact they’re made from ABS plastic, and the Wrangler luggage is some of the most affordable you can get. But what makes them so unique? It’s the patented 3-in-1 cupholder in the back of the suitcases, which you can use to hold your coffee cup or phone.

There’s also a USB port here that allows you to easily charge your phone at the airport without having to remove the power bank from your luggage. But it’s the coffee cup holder that does it for me and makes this the best carry-on you can get for less than $70!

This luggage also features double spinner wheels, expandable capacity, and internal pockets. The dimensions listed below are for the smallest Wrangler suitcase.

Luggage Unique By Design

In this section, we’ll take a look at several types of suitcases that stand out due to their design. They mostly have the same features, so we won’t dwell on that too much. I’m afraid I would bore you to death if I had to repeat the same features for every single suitcase in this section, so I will list just the most important ones.

Additionally, the suitcases I’m about to review don’t have any smart features or shelving systems. But, they do look stunning, and you will definitely stand out in the airport with any one of them.

Designer Luggage

Designer luggage is often overlooked because most people think that it’s going to be pricier than your regular luggage. And, I’m not talking about designers like Tumi or Rimowa, I’m talking about fashion designers.

The funny thing is that their luggage is usually not really expensive, and particularly when you compare it to suitcases from Samsonite or Tumi. Now, before I show you the photos of these gorgeous suitcases, let me tell you what they all have in common:

• TSA Compliant lock
• Spinner wheels
• Telescopic wheel handle
• Zippered closure
• Two packing compartments
• Logo-printed nylon lining
• Composite polycarbonate shell

And, here is the unique designer luggage that will make everyone else at the airport jealous of you.

Steve Madden Luggage 3 Piece Suitcase Set

This set includes 3 suitcases, and I will list the dimensions of all of them below. You can get this Steve Madden set in 4 different designs, and all are pretty unique.

Vintage Luggage

Vintage luggage will definitely attract a few looks at the airport. Also, you won’t have any problems picking out your suitcase from the dozens of different ones on the luggage carousel. Here are some beautiful vintage-looking pieces of luggage (with some modern features).

American Tourister Moonlight Luggage

The American Tourister Moonlight suitcases are an excellent option if you want luggage with beautiful and fun prints on the shell. In case you want to get a large checked suitcase that is easily noticeable on the luggage carousel, you’ll have a hard time finding a bag more recognizable than this one.

The suitcases are made from a mixture of ABS and Polycarbonate, so they’re very lightweight and durable. They’re not the highest quality bags out of the bunch, which is a downside considering they’re priced similarly to other luggage made from pure PC.

All the Moonlight suitcases are equipped with single spinner wheels, expandable capacity, a zippered internal compartment, and a multi-stage wheel handle. The luggage also includes low-profile top and side grab handles, as well as internal pockets and dividers.

The Moonlight luggage is available in three different sizes and the dimensions listed below are for the smallest carry-on suitcase.

These suitcases are made from premium polycarbonate, for excellent performance and durability. The shell has good impact resistance, thanks to the flexibility of polycarbonate that allows it to bend upon heavy impact. This is precisely what makes the Level 8 luggage a great option for both checked and carry-on bags.

In addition to the durable Makrolon PC construction, this unique luggage also features a TSA-friendly lock, four double-spinner wheels, and a height-adjustable wheel handle. The top and side handles are low profile and flexible, so they don’t add much to the overall suitcase dimensions.

This specific suitcase is available in four different sizes, as well as four luggage sets. The luggage sets to mix and match different suitcase sizes, so you can easily pick up a set that’s just right for you. The specifications listed below are for the smallest 20” carry-on Level 8 suitcase.

Rockland Departure Hardside Luggage

Rockland Departure is a great carry-on suitcase with a unique design. The luggage boasts an interesting design on the outer shell, which helps the suitcase stand out and makes it more easily recognizable.

The Rockland suitcase is made from polycarbonate, for excellent durability and performance. It’s equipped with four double spinner wheels, a telescoping wheel handle, and a fully lined interior with pockets and dividers.

Perhaps the best thing about this suitcase is that you can often find it on sale and get it for just a fraction of the price. This luggage can be discounted by as much as 60%, so you can get this Polycarbonate suitcase for only some $60 – it’s an absolute steal for a bag that’s this well-made!

Kenneth Cole Reaction Madison Square Luggage

The Kenneth Cole Reaction luggage is a good option if you want a reliable hardside carry-on. It’s made from durable and shock-resistant ABS plastic, with a textured shell that resists scuffs and scratches.

This suitcase is equipped with double-spinner wheels, an adjustable wheel handle, and soft-grip grab handles on the top, bottom, and side. The capacity of this suitcase is expandable, and you can get two additional inches of packing space if you use the expansion zipper.

The interior of Madison Square luggage is fully lined and equipped with pockets and dividers for easy organization. There’s a hanging zipper pocket, a divider panel with a mesh pocket, and an under-the-lid section with shoe pockets and another zippered mesh pocket.

Betsey Johnson Designer Luggage

Betsey Johnson is a popular designer best known for her unique dresses. Her staple designs are noticeable in the Betsey Johnson luggage, making these suitcases great for people who want luggage that stands out.

Floral prints, stripes, polka dots, and a lot of colors are what you should expect from Betsey Johnson’s luggage. The suitcases are made from a mix of ABS and polycarbonate, so they’re pretty durable, lightweight, and resistant to scratches.

The suitcases also feature double spinner wheels, a telescoping luggage handle, and expandable capacity. Also, all the bags feature colorful lining on the inside, which is bound to make packing a bit more enjoyable.

The Betsey Johnson luggage lacks a TSA lock, but that shouldn’t be a big deal since it’s a very small carry-on bag.

Vintage Luggage

Vintage luggage will definitely attract a few looks at the airport. Also, you won’t have any problems picking out your suitcase from the dozens of different ones on the luggage carousel. Here are some beautiful vintage-looking pieces of luggage (with some modern features).

Delsey Paris Chatelet Luggage

The Delsey Paris Chatelet luggage collection features some of the best hardside luggage you can buy. These suitcases aren’t unique just because of the shell design – they’re made with premium materials and equipped with all the features you need for a comfortable travel experience.

This specific Delsey Chatelet suitcase even has a brake that allows you to lock the front two wheels of the bag. It’s a useful feature only available on select models, so if you’re buying the luggage because of that, make sure that it’s indicated it has a brake.

The interior of these travel bags is divided into two packing compartments with zippered dividers and several pockets. Two interior bags with a hanger are also included with the suitcase, and they immensely increase the organizational capabilities of the luggage.

Kensie 3D Gemstone Hardside Spinner

The Kensie Gemstone spinner is a one-of-a-kind suitcase perfect for travelers who want to own a unique bag. It boasts a 3D shell with a geometric design that you won’t see on any other suitcase, mostly because this brand is trying to patent the design.

The main downside of such a shell design is that it takes away from the capacity of the bag, but that’s a small compromise for such unique luggage. Also, the suitcases are high-quality, with a durable plastic shell, double spinner wheels, and a telescoping wheel handle.

This luggage also boasts internal pockets and compartments, as well as a unique design of luggage feet on the side. On top of that, it’s worth noting that everything about this bag is designed to make it weigh as little as possible, which is precisely what makes it such a great option for a carry-on bag.
