Antler sale includes £49 off ‘superior’ suitcase perfect for flights with Jet2 and easyJet
As the weather warms up, holiday season is well and truly upon us, and whether you’ve had your break planned for months, or are booking a last minute trip, one thing is certain.You’’re going to need a reliable suitcase - and we’ve found some on offer.
A popular luggage brand loved by celebrities has launched a flash sale, giving holidaymakers the opportunity to upgrade their suitcases just in time for their next getaway. Renowned British retailer Antler has slashed 20 per cent off a selection of their best-selling products, with shoppers saving £50 on one of their latest launches.
From today (June 25) to Sunday, July 7, anyone who spends £225 on the Antler website will be able to save 20 per cent off. The spend threshold can be reached with either one product, or a selection of their lower-priced items, with the discount automatically applied at the checkout.
Antler's products are known for their quality and durability, and one of their most popular featured in the offer comes in the form of their Icon Stripe Large suitcase, which shoppers can bag for less than £200. Usually £245, the suitcase comes in seven colours, and is as sturdy as it is stylish. The latest deal means shoppers will immediately save 20 per cent when they add one to their basket, taking the total to £196 - £49 off.
The suitcase offers maximum packing volume and is designed to accommodate adventures of 2-3 weeks (or 10 days, if you pack like I do). Ideal for longer trips or even shorter ones if you plan on sharing the case with a partner, it boasts a hardwearing shell that ensures your belongings are well-protected, with expandable functionality to increase capacity.
If that wasn’t exciting enough, it offers a TSA-approved combination lock, Silent Glide 360 spinner wheels, comfort grip handle and double-zip pockets and compression straps. It measures at 51.7 x 78 x 33.6 cm, and weighs less than 5kg.
The Icon Stripe Large suitcase is now £196 as part of the Antler deal
The case has a near-perfect star rating from shoppers, with nothing less than a four-star review. Users have said they’re ‘far superior’ to other luxury brands , and are incredibly spacious. One said: “Massive case, lovely internal pockets, just beware it's like the tardis and very easy to pack more than your luggage allowance.”
Another added: “I originally bought Samsonite cases but after a couple of trips the lock faltered and I was never very happy with them as they were not lined. I returned for a full refund and bought my 2 Antler cases which are far superior to Samsonite. Going forward I will buy Antler.”
A third review said that the ‘zips are a little stiff’, but still gave it a glowing five stars, commenting: “Ordered with standard delivery and delivered next working day. Colour as described, great size and more space than I expected. Love the look and feel, glides effortlessly and wheels are so quiet! Zips are a little stiff but I’m sure this will improve with use. Has got a bit scuffed already but I guess comes with territory of getting a pale colour. All in all very happy and worth the money!”
If you wanted something a little more compact, though, the Icon Stripe Cabin Bag is perfect. Labelled as the "biggest carry-on" by the brand, it’s still quite generous at 39.5 x 58 x 24 cm, with a weight of just 2.8kg, while still fitting within the overhead compartments of several budget carriers including Ryanair, Jet2, and easyJet.
The Icon Stripe Cabin Bag comes in an array of stylish colours
The case costs £175, so in order to take it over the £225 spend threshold, you could opt for a £12 Antler luggage tag , and reusable water bottle for £40 . These would usually cost £227, but with the discount, come to £181.60 - only £6.60 more than you’d have paid for the case alone.
Or, if you really fancy taking your luggage to the next level, you could always invest in a three-piece set, so you’ll always have the perfect size required for any trip. The Icon Stripe Set features large, medium and cabin suitcases, which are usually priced at £630, but the offer means they’ll be £504 at the checkout.
If you are looking for something more affordable though, M&S ’s Amalfi 4 Wheel Large Suitcase retails for £79 here, making it a great option for budget travellers. The hardshell exterior provides sturdy protection, which is essential when travelling on long-haul and transit flights, as you don’t want any risk of items breaking free. The zip also features anti-burst technology, providing that extra layer of protection.
Lulu Guinness have also discounted their luggage - this Carry-On case is sure to stand out on the baggage carousel and fits in the overhead cabin space of most major airlines including EasyJet and Ryanair. A staple for frequent flyers, the interior of the bag is as pretty as the outside and you can snap it up for £90 down from £225.
