I DO love a bargain, and if it’s on a heritage brand with designer appeal, then all the better.
So I was blown away to see my much-treasured Antler suitcase on offer in the brand’s summer sale: it’s been reduced from £210 to £157.50.
Antler Clifton Suitcase in Medium, £210 £157.50
You can save up to 40% on selected designs and sizes across the Antler website, making this the perfect time to spend on new luggage.
The Clifton in medium is now just £157.50 in the Sycamore colourway – I’ve actually got the Sage version.
I’ve found it to be ideal for a fortnight away in summer or, for that matter, any time of year.
It’s got plenty of space for fitting in everything I need, without ever having to pack lightly.
Inside, the bottom section has compression straps to keep everything in place and a long, zipped pocket for small items.
The top compartment features a full-width divider to keep shoes or dirty clothes separate, while the divider itself then features two zipped pockets – one plastic, one mesh – which are ideal for seeing contents at a glance.
The suitcase is made from robust polycarbonate and it is secured with a TSA lock for extra peace of mind.
When it comes to movement, the Clifton is on another level in manoeuvrability thanks to its eight spinner wheels. Honestly, it handles beautifully.
Because those 360-degree wheels move in all directions the case is a dream to travel with.
You can push it, pull it, or have it glide by your side without ever catching on the floor, whether that’s carpet or concrete.
There’s also a telescopic handle with three positions and a grab handle on the top and on one side, so you can get hold of your case no matter which way around it is on the luggage carousel.
Buying a higher-end suitcase like this is certainly an investment, but one that will last for years to come so could end up saving you money in the long run.
Antler also offers a lifetime warranty on all of their suitcases, so convinced are they of their longevity.
