Our new luggage

Filed Under Avon, Travel | 4 Comments

Jonathon and I never had nice luggage. When we got married, we kind of didn’t even think about the fact that we would need a luggage set for our honeymoon. He had a suitcase and a garment bag, and I had a suitcase. So my parents gave us their old luggage. And I mean OLD. It was like that tweedy-brown stuff that was popular in the mid to late 90s. Also, it had a strap you could pull it with but when you pulled it, it tipped over. Which is apparently why my parents replaced it.

Anyway, each vacation we’ve gone on, we said we would get new stuff. I finally put it on a garage sale we had a while back and got like $15 for it. I was glad to be rid of it… then we realized that once again we were about to go on vacation and we didn’t have luggage. And I refuse to use Jonathon’s big green monster suitcase. So I shopped for luggage online and figured out Kohl’s had the best prices. I waited until it was on sale and we got a nice charcoal gray set for a good price. It’s not super quality or brand name, but we only take vacation like once a year anyway.

Here is our new set:

I didn’t want to get black because EVERYONE has black luggage. I also got some new luggage tags from Avon because I thought they’d make our stuff easier to spot… and cuz they’re cute…

    I think we have the same luggage but it’s pink! Yeah, I know, Ryan pretty much hates to drag it through the airport, but it it really cute and easy to spot in the baggage claim!

    I like your new luggage! I heard it is best not to get a really expensive set anyway because then you might be target for theives, and the luggage gets banged up anyway. Cute luggage tags!

    I think it’s funny that you consider luggage from the late 90′s old. It was only 10 years ago. :-)

    Thanks for the Kohl’s tip! We’re looking to get some new luggage too… somehow our old brown leather monstrosity from the 80′s just doesn’t seem to cut it.
