Here at Good Housekeeping, our team of shopping editors have been covering all the best Labor Day sales on furniture, mattresses and more throughout the month of August. In all that deal-hunting, this might be the most exciting (and biggest) event yet: Direct-to-consumer luggage brand Away brought back its Labor Day sale with discounts ranging from 15% all the way up to 50% off.
Thanks to its near-perfect marriage of form and function, Away has been ranked among the best luggage brands on the market by the Good Housekeeping Institute for years. If you've been thinking about buying an Away suitcase, now is the time to jump. We do not expect to see a discount of this caliber return for Black Friday.
The Bigger Carry-On
Away has consistently impressed our Lab analysts, and earned the brand its cult status, so they're certainly worth the price. Take the suitcase's shell: It's made of 100% polycarbonate that proved to be durable and lightweight in our Away review (we even drop-tested it!).
Our luggage expert Emma Seymour, senior analyst at the GH Institute Textiles Lab was "blown away by this bag for being impressively lightweight, scratch resistant, easy to maneuver and fitting everything in our packing tests."
Not in the market for new luggage? The Away Labor Day sale extends to travel gear and travel backpacks, too.
Given how rare Away deals are, stock is sure to dwindle quickly. Get yours while you can!
