I Shop Deals For A Living, And This Is The Best Black Friday Luggage Sale I've Seen Yet

We hope you love the products we recommend! All of them were independently selected by our editors. Just so you know, HuffPost UK may collect a share of sales or other compensation from the links on this page if you decide to shop from them. Oh, and FYI – prices are accurate and items in stock as of time of publication.Black Friday has finally arrived, which means it’s the perfect time to take advantage of seasonal deals – be they for yourself or as a gift. I’ve been writing shopping content for years now, though, and (perhaps because I’ve gotten older, or maybe because I’m jaded) it takes a lot to get me to actually reach for my own credit card these days. Stylish luggage brand Carl Friedrik has achieved just that with their current 30%-off sale, however. Sleek, strong, and made with award-winning designs, their offerings are some of the few deals I’d truly consider an investment. Take their beloved Carry-On X, for instance. A former winner of the prestigious iF Design Award, this highly-rated cabin case has a hard-shell cover that allows you to reach your laptop and travel documents quickly. Its aluminium frame, impact-resistant polycarbonate shell, and lock closure add to its security and stability, while its handy 360° spinner wheels make gliding through the airport easier. In case that doesn’t give you enough peace of mind, though, it also comes with a lifetime warranty.Then, there’s Carl Friedrik’s other Carry-On, which includes the same spinner wheels and anti-impact hard shell, along with dual-zip TSA-approved locks. Its premium brushed lining and ergonomic handle, which can be adjusted to the exact height to suit you, have helped to earn the Carry-On its five-star average rating.I’m also a huge fan of the company’s effortlessly stylish The Check-In, a robust case that’s earned the stamp of approval from travel experts at Reader’s Digest and Good Housekeeping. With a navy option from the deliciously grown-up Hackett London × Carl Friedrik range, this case offers the aluminium frame, tough outer shell, lock closure, and spinner wheels we’ve grown to expect from the brand – along with yet another lifetime warranty. Oh, and look: yet another near-perfect rating (4.8 stars from 70 reviews).Opt for the larger version (120L vs the smaller 70L) for longer trips.Of course, the brand doesn’t stop at its stunning cases. I love its timeless Palissy briefcase, too, which comes in either smooth or grained vachetta leather. Don’t be fooled by its slim, effortlessly elegant design: the all-rounder packs tonnes of space-optimising features, like a neat laptop pocket, two pen holders, and multiple organisation pockets.And, while I know I’ve mentioned reviews on here a lot, it would be remiss not to mention the case’s ridiculously high 4.9-star average rating from 190 reviews (or, indeed, its lifetime warranty). You don’t need to have a holiday planned to take advantage of Carl Friedrik’s luggage deals, either. I covet their Ayrton Backpack, a commuter-friendly, full-grain vachetta leather bag which offers a 16-inch laptop slot and an integrated luggage holder.With sleek brushed hardware and a semi-aniline coating for added protection, this one’s been on my ‘chic city worker’ moodboard for a while.Don’t even get me started on their Granville weekend bag, whose luxurious olive option I can’t imagine I’ll resist much longer.With a surprisingly large 33L capacity, multiple internal pockets, and a large exterior window pocket, this slyly spacious bag still manages to look refined.That’s just a few of the offers live at Carl Friedrik’s site right now. Every single item, after all, is currently 30% off, no code required.But hurry: the deals end on Monday, 1st December (race you to the checkout).Related...Save Up To £200 On The Latest Sporty Gadgets With Amazing Black Friday DealsVodafone Is Having A Huge SIM-Only Black Friday Sale, Including Unlimited PlansWe’re Loving Anastasia Beverly Hills’ Holiday Sets And Discounts
