This Quince Carry-on Rivals Away and Monos Styles

Among Travel + Leisure editors, Away and Monos carry-ons are considered top-tier. However, their steep price tags, reaching upward of £265, may make you think twice about buying one. But you can find the same high-quality design in a more affordable alternative from Quince, which is available at half the price.

 The Quince Carry-On Suitcase offers the same features as premium luggage, including 360-degree spinner wheels and a TSA-approved combination lock that makes it easier for security personnel to inspect the contents of your bag without damage. More importantly, it has a large capacity that can hold six to nine outfits. However, hundreds of customers agreed that it fits so much more, which is helpful if you’re going on an extended trip.

The sleek suitcase features a polycarbonate hard shell, which makes it both lightweight and durable for all types of travel, including bumpy car rides and high-turbulence flights. The 360-degree wheels also don’t go unnoticed. Several shoppers commented on how smoothly they roll at the airport when catching multiple flights, as well as on cobblestone roads and uneven streets when traveling internationally.

The interior is just as dependable, with a 48-liter capacity, which can easily accommodate a week’s worth of outfits, according to the brand. However, customers have discovered that it can actually fit way more. One person was able to pack for a 20-day trip to Europe using it, noting that it was “the perfect size.” Another reviewer who took the suitcase on a journey to Scotland and London confirmed that it “holds 10 days’ worth of clothing” without feeling overstuffed. Since the carry-on features an interior compression system and an 18-by-12-inch pocket, you can also maximize your packing space while staying organized.

The Quince Carry-On—complete with a water-resistant lining and a trolley handle—measures 22 inches tall, 15 inches wide, and 9 inches deep, making it suitable for most overhead compartments. Plus, it comes with a removable laundry bag, allowing you to separate your clean and dirty clothes during vacation. 

Needless to say, this affordable suitcase is “just as good (if not better)” than more expensive brands, according to one traveler. In fact, another frequent flyer noted that it’s “very similar to Away and Monos” luggage and “moves super smoothly in every direction.” Translation: If you’re looking to upgrade your luggage before an upcoming trip, consider this £130 alternative—available now in five colors.
