Know before you buy
The Outsider handle system mounts the handle tubes on the outside of the bag rather than the inside. This creates a completely flat interior floor, which makes packing easier and prevents your clothes from getting wrinkled by the handle tracks.
Yes, its compact 14 x 8 x 15.5-inch dimensions are specifically designed to fit into the overhead bins of most aircraft, including smaller regional jets where standard carry-ons might be forced to be gate-checked.
The micro weave nylon is engineered to be highly resilient, offering excellent resistance to moisture, dirt, and daily abrasion. It is a professional-grade fabric designed to maintain its appearance even after frequent travel.
The full-grain Napa leather touchpoints are durable, but you can keep them looking their best by occasionally wiping them with a soft, dry cloth. If the leather gets wet, simply let it air dry naturally away from direct heat sources.
Briggs & Riley offers a comprehensive lifetime warranty that covers functional repairs, including the wheels, handle system, and zippers. If your bag is ever damaged, they will repair it free of charge, regardless of how the damage occurred.
Yes, the bag comes with a leather fob that can be personalized. It serves as a stylish way to identify your luggage quickly at the baggage claim or while navigating the terminal.
