Top 5 Luggage Stores in Winnipeg

These days, manufacturers tailor luggage to fit the needs and style of today’s travellers. Some luggage models are even built with smart features that protect their contents and help keep their owners safe.

If you’re looking for the sleekest, most stylish, and most investment-worthy luggage, this article will review the top luggage stores in Winnipeg.

How much does luggage cost on average?

On average, budget luggage can cost around $65 to $194, while mid-tier models can cost at least $260 and high-end luggage may cost at least $1,300.

Note that luggage prices mainly anchor on the bags’ sizes, material, and brand. There are several brands that offer affordable yet stylish and functional luggage that will last you about five or more years.

Now, if you’re looking for fancier luggage with vintage exteriors or smart features, expect to pay more. For those who can afford them, we think that these unique travel bags will somehow contribute to your overall travel experience.

U.N. Luggage claims to be the best place for all sorts of travel essentials, from luggage to sunscreen, hats, sunglasses, and reusable water bottles.

We looked into its array of luggage and are pleasantly surprised that it offers children’s travel bags, medium and large luggage, and fancy garment bags.

Upon checking, the store currently holds stocks from noteworthy brands such as Samsonite, Herschel, Thule, Tumi, Eagle Creek, and Briggs & Riley.

And with starting prices of $119, you can get top-quality luggage that won’t break your bank and will travel with you for a few years!

Besides the impressive array of luggage available, we also love how this store offers a 14-day return policy for customers who aren’t satisfied with their initial purchase. 

Note that personalised products are not eligible for returns and exchanges, although they might be accepted for repairs.

Speaking of repairs, U.N. Luggage has an on-site full-service repair shop that deals with handbags, wallets, duffels, golf bags, suitcases, and instrument cases. Prices depend on the extent of the damage and the appropriate restoration method. 

We were just a little disappointed that their inventory doesn’t seem to be aligned with their online catalogue. Some customers reported completing their purchases only to receive an email that the item wasn’t in stock or has been discontinued.

U.N. Luggage will have to check on this issue to avoid customer dissatisfaction and losing its reliability as a prime luggage store in Winnipeg.

Pros

  • Offers luggage from noteworthy brands
  • Has an on-site repair services shop

Cons

  • Personalised items are not eligible for returns
  • Instances of inventory errors

Customer Reviews

Excellent products at a good price 

“I asked for a size change and I received a kind answer very quickly! The new item arrived a few days later. A very good experience! I will buy from that shop again!” – Patrick Thellend

A great place that offers craftsmanship and friendly customer service

“UN Luggage is one of those drive-across-town-to-get-a-solution types of place. Sure, you can find bags and luggage on the internet or at the mall, but if you value craftsmanship and small-town style personal, friendly service, then this is your place. The Thiessen family plies their trade with professionalism and pride.” – Lee Klassen

Samsonite is, without a doubt, one of the most popular luggage brands worldwide. If you own a Samsonite, then you know your clothes and other possessions are safely stored.

One advantage of purchasing directly from the manufacturer is that you’ll have access to some variations that might not be available in other stores. You’ll also get to shop for accessories that were made to match your luggage!

We were also surprised to see that this store doesn’t just carry Samsonite suitcases in its inventory. 

You’ll also find brands such as High Sierra and American Tourister, names that promise stylish and functional luggage perfect for short and long travels.

That said, we’re a bit surprised that its Samsonite selection is slightly pricier than the previous entry’s. We compared the same suitcase models and found that this store’s prices about are $5 to $10 higher.

All things considered, we still recommend this store as it runs weekly deals on its backpacks, laptop bags, and baggage. Discounts are a great money-saver, especially if you’re eyeing a premium Samsonite model.

We also like this brand for advocating sustainability by offering luggage with recyclable materials. So, despite the hefty price tag, your purchase will help preserve the environment and foster a greener future.

If you somehow received the wrong item or perhaps aren’t satisfied with your initial purchase, you’ll be glad to know that Samsonite allows returns. Item exchanges aren’t allowed, though.

Instead, you will be refunded and you can use that money to make another order of the suitcase model you want.

Repair services are also available but only limited to products under warranty. So, if you need to have your out-of-warranty luggage fixed, you may want to consider going to another reliable suitcase repair shop instead.

Pros

  • Runs weekly sales
  • Advocates for sustainability
  • Exclusive styles and designs

Cons

  • Expensive
  • Does not offer item exchange policies
  • Repair services are limited to products covered by warranty

Customer Reviews

Very helpful and kind staff

“I don’t know about you but for me it is all about knowing that I can get what I want from a store. Samsonite’s customer service is awesome she helped me with choosing the right suitcase and accessories. I can always come back here if I have a problem.” – Mubarak Nsekarije

A great place to shop for laptop bags as well

“Was looking for a laptop bag for 4 hours in a few malls. Walked by this place and saw they had bags so I went in quick. Didn’t see they had any laptop bags big enough for my laptop was going to walk out but the sales associate there was very nice and helpful. She asked me what I was looking for and she helped me find a bag that did fit my laptop! Very nice lady ( I think she was in her early 40s) Anyway great customer service and found what I was looking for! Would highly recommend it.” – Peter Thomas

If you’re looking noteworthy brand options under one roof, then Bentley is the right store for you. Both on-site and online stores carry over eight brands of luggage and travel bags perfect for travel anywhere.

Some of the brands Bentley offers include Air Canada, American Tourister, Antler, Blackbook, Riona, Samsonite, Tracker, and Triforce.

In terms of pricing, some of the popular baggage brands have higher prices compared to what the previous stores offer. For example, some of this store’s Samsonite and American Tourister options are more expensive by $30.

On the other hand, we still think that these travel essentials are worth paying for as they’re durable and aesthetically pleasing, while also functional and convenient for any travel.

Do note that some items are online exclusives and aren’t available in their physical store. It’s best to make the purchase once you spot these while browsing the online shop.

Bentley also only delivers on business days–so if you prefer getting your luggage right away, then it is best to shop in its physical shop.

And in case the closest branch doesn’t have stocks of the luggage you want, Bentley has 3 other branches you can visit to find the luggage and accessories you need for your next trip.

A downside though is that refunds for online purchases are only in the form of in-store gift cards. We think this can be a bit impractical for those who live far away from Bentley’s branches.

To get your items refunded using the same payment method, you’ll need to make that extra visit to a physical store.

Pros

  • Has over eight luggage brands
  • Multiple branches in Winnipeg

Cons

  • Some items are only online-exclusive
  • Ships only on business days
  • Refunds for online purchases will only be in gift card form

CAA Manitoba is a well-known travel agency that helps people book flights, get travel insurance, and avail of roadside assistance.

Amazingly, it also boasts an on-site store where you’ll find an impressive array of luggage from various brands.

What we love about CAA’s store is that it carries budget-friendly luggage with starting prices of $45 and mid-tier to high-end luggage models priced from $165 up to $300.

We compared the prices with other stores selling the same brands and found that CAA Manitoba’s prices are more affordable. So, if you’re looking for a renowned luggage brand for a cheaper rate, then this store is right for you.

The store also offers various memberships that give affiliates perks such as discounts and longer days for returns and exchanges. 

For example, non-members can return their items within 30 days from the purchase date, while members get 90 days and discounts of 5% to 10%.

We’re just not that keen on the fact that refunds are always in the form of gift cards that buyers can only use at CAA’s physical stores.

The store may need to revisit its refund policy as we find it impractical to drive miles to get to the nearest CAA physical store just to use the gift card.

Pros

  • More affordable luggage prices
  • Members get exclusive perks

Cons

  • Refunds are always in gift card form
  • Gift cards cannot be used online

Customer Reviews

A great place to buy travel essentials

“Great location & edition to Kildonan Place Shopping Centre. Located at the east end of the mall in the old Target location with an entrance independent of the mall. It is the night a retail & services location. Services offered include auto, travel, and home insurance services, in addition to the retail aspect. This location is very decent sized, modern, and clean along with friendly staff. Highly recommend it to others!” – Winnipeg Trevor

Staff were friendly and wary of health measures

“I went in to pick up my online order. Staff was masked and so were customers including me. Gives me comfort. The staff person at the desk opened my very large box to enable me to repack to carry my items. She also gave me a bag for two very large items. Excellent service once again from CAA St.Anne’s Store.” – Sally Nystrom

The Mountain Equipment Company (MEC) is a prime haven for outdoor essentials such as tents, hats, footwear, various outdoor gear – and yes, luggage!

We explored the store and found an impressive collection of luggage from notable brands catering to adventurers, such as Osprey, Thule, Patagonia, The North Face, and MEC’s own exclusive line.

For prices starting at $45, you can get high-quality backpacks and duffels that are waterproof and weatherproof, as well as equipped with pockets and spaces to hold all of your travel must-haves.

We also found rolling medium luggage available, although most of MEC’s baggage selection are carry-ons. 

That said, MEC’s collection of travel bags are specifically designed for those who love hiking, camping, or adventuring by the lakes or beach.

And true to its main products catering to adventurers, MEC advocates for social and environmental sustainability. 

Most of its products are manufactured with local and eco-friendly Manitoba materials. And for every MEC item purchased, you’ll be supporting local communities and helping preserve the planet.

A slight downside though to MEC’s shipping is that it might not always be available for fringe locations of Winnipeg. If you live in one of these areas, it’s wise to contact the store and ask if they deliver to your address. 

Pros

  • Advocates sustainability
  • Refund period lasts 365 days

Cons

  • Luggage selection is mostly carry-ons
  • Luggage design is specifically geared towards adventurous travelers only
  • Shipping might not always be available in non-urban areas

Customer Reviews

A must-visit for outdoor enthusiasts

“One of the best stores in Winnipeg for camping gear, and related stuff. Good selection, quality products, helpful staff.” – Adam H.

Offers quite a selection of travelling gear

“They have a fabulous selection of gear for pretty much every kind of outdoor activity. Sometimes the store seems a little understaffed, but the staff are helpful and knowledgeable.  They really stand by their products and have fantastic repair service. As for people complaining about the memberships – it’s a $ 5-lifetime membership – because they’re a co-op. Similar kinds of rules to a credit union.” – Emily CPY
