If you have a specific brand or type of luggage in mind, then looking online is a good bet. An online Antler luggage retailer, for example, will offer a range of the brand’s items. It might also offer other ranges, to compare and contrast – giving you both the ability to find the item you initially wanted, and to compare it against offerings from other brands at similar prices.

Whether you are shipping for your luggage online or off, the absolute first thing you need to know is what you are going to use it for. Different types of luggage have different best uses – or at least, different end uses make defend pieces of luggage more advisable to own and use. A sports bag, for instance, is well suited to carrying sports kit, with compartments for clean and dirty as well as optional extras like a hanging boot bag.

Suitcases designed for travel have different attributes depending on the travel type, as well. Business travelers  for example, might go to an online Antler luggage retailer specifically looking for a smart case – one that is designed to make the right size concessions without giving up on protective or organisational capabilities. At the other end of the spectrum, a leisure traveler may want something bigger, with parts that are designed to be taken as hand baggage or to form a day pack.

Some types of luggage are so different from others they deserve their own designation. This is the case with all business luggage options, which have been designed to let the user take an entire complement of clothes and business equipment onto a plane cabin – so he or she is not required to waste time at either end of the journey, either by having to check in hold baggage or by having to retrieve it.

As a result, shopping online for business luggage becomes a treasure hunt for various options and functions. Commonly, these will include the ability to store and transport laptops safely; and the ability to segment clothes and other items rigidly, to prevent creasing or damage.

An item of cabin baggage can never exceed the maximum dimensions given by the airline. It can’t be too high, too wide or too deep. It should also be designed internally in such a way as to discourage overfilling. Of all travel, business travel is the lightest – or it should be, when it’s done right. So the online Antler luggage retailer is used by business travelers when it stocks pieces that enable small quantities of quality clothing and computer equipment to be stowed in an almost militarily organised fashion.

The leisure traveler will have different requirements from the online Antler luggage retailer. Here, multiple people may be packed into the same set of suitcases – so the first thing the leisure traveler might do is to try to find bargain sets of luggage rather than buying all his or her cases separately.

The design of luggage in sets answers different needs to luggage designed for a single person. Set luggage might include a family case; a child’s case; and an item of cabin baggage, designed to carry the entertainment and minor toiletries a family needs for the flight separately from the main cases.
