Just saw an "Ultimate Guide: The Best Luggage Brands You’ve Never Heard Of" and it got me thinking about how much we rely on mainstream brands. Are there realy considerably better options out there that just don't have the marketing budgets of a Rimowa or a Monos?
Has anyone actively sought out and tried some of these lesser-known luggage brands? I'm curious if the cost savings are worth it,or if the big names are really worth the investment for durability and features. The guide mentioned a few focusing on sustainable materials, like recycled ocean plastic, which is definitely something that appeals to me. Anyone have experience with luggage made from unconventional materials like that?
It also brought up the point that some smaller brands specialize in very specific types of travel, like ultra-light backpacking or specialized camera equipment carrying. That kind of focus seems like it coudl deliver a much better product than a generalist brand trying to cover all the bases. What are your thoughts? Are there hidden gems in the luggage world?
