I am a huge fan of Kipling luggage. It is lightweight, has a crinkly nylon look and comes in seasonally selected colors that are easy to spot on a luggage carousel. If you are a fan of black luggage, you can still get it in black. This luggage, made in Belgium, is recognized by the signature monkey key chain that is attached. Not many people know this, but the monkeys are named after different employees of the Kipling company. While I am a huge fan of the luggage, it is pricey and I do not like to pay full price. This Kipling outlet generally sells most items at about 30% off retail. As a matter of fact, even their newly released LITE luggage line was discounted at this store. While the outlet does not carry the entire line, they do have a great selection. And, if you are into even better bargains, hit them on a good sale(generally tied to a holiday weekend, like Labor Day or Memorial Day) and you can get some smoking hot deals on their products, sometimes as high as 75% off. The employees here are friendly and will work with you, especially if you need them to keep their eye out for an item they are not currently carrying. They will check other stores for inventory if that is what you need. They also have a nice return policy. In addition to luggage, they carry purses, totes, pouches and other matching accessories. All of it is in that signature crinkle nylon look. If they happen to have a color you love, just remember to buy it now, because they do discontinue colors regularly.
