Quince Luggage Is Affordable but Doesn’t Feel Cheap (2026)

I’ll admit it: I’ve been a longtime Away apologist. Travel makes me anxious, and my coping mechanism is apparently color coordination. There’s something comforting about seeing my matching suitcases at baggage claim (after frantically tracking them through Find My).

So, I was skeptical when I swapped my beloved Away set for Quince’s Expandable Small Carry-On and Large Check-In Suitcase Set ($270). But my first thought when I opened the box was that Quince had made a compelling Away dupe. Side by side, they have the same shape, proportions, and minimalist look. And honestly, this tracks for Quince. The brand has a talent for producing relatively affordable versions of the things I love: Mongolian cashmere, wellness supplements, engagement rings … the list goes on.

I’ve tested Quince’s travel collection before and was impressed. Its All-Day Neoprene Duffle Bag ($102) and All-Day Neoprene Toiletry Bag ($35) survived a Canyon Ranch longevity retreat in Tucson with me, where I spent a week learning how to optimize every aspect of my existence. If that isn’t a stress test for travel gear, I don’t know what is.

If I were buying luggage for the first time in a long time or replacing an old set, I’d choose Quince. You’re getting polished, durable suitcases with reliable features, and without paying a premium for the brand name. At $270 for both an expandable carry-on and a large checked bag, it's an excellent value.

Away doesn’t offer a comparable bundle, but its Large Flex ($425) and Carry-On Flex ($325) are almost identical to Quince’s Expandable Large Check-In ($220) and Expandable Small Carry-On ($140) .
