Award-Winning Luxury Luggage Since 1993
For over 30 years, Briggs and Riley has been manufacturing high-quality, durable luggage made for frequent travellers. Its bags are stylish, functional, and innovative and have been featured in many best-of lists, including the Condé Nast Traveller Readers’ Choice Awards (2024), the Travel + Leisure World's Best Awards (2020), and Forbes’ Best Travel Bags for Business (2019).
Industry-Leading Lifetime Warranty
Briggs & Riley offers what is quite simply the best warranty in the industry—and one of the best warranties we’ve ever seen for any product, luggage or otherwise. Its “Simple As That” guarantee covers all functional repairs for your Briggs & Riley bag for the life of the bag.
This warranty even covers damage caused by airlines; however, it doesn’t cover cosmetic wear and tear, cleaning, or the replacement of lost or stolen bags and their contents. Need a repair? Briggs & Riley will cover it—simple as that. As an added benefit, the team here at U.N. Luggage offers repairs for all Briggs & Riley bags.
Why Choose Briggs & Riley
Innovative Design Features
Briggs & Riley has been a true innovator in the space since it opened its doors in 1993. The features it has developed over the years include:
- The CX (Compression-Expansion) system expands your luggage to give you more packing space, then compresses everything together to reduce the size of your bag and help you fit it into an overhead bin
- The Outsider Handle is a rugged handle outside of your luggage. Having the entire handle located outside gives you more packing space.
- Shock-absorbing spinner wheels that offer 360° maneuverability
- Interlocking handles that allow you to stack your luggage
- The Smartlink Strap attaches travel bags to the front of your upright luggage
- Hinged front doors that create extra compartments for additional storage

Whether you opt for a soft-sided or hard-sided bag, you’ll be thrilled with the quality.

Frequently Asked Questions
Where Can You Buy Briggs & Riley Luggage in Canada?
Briggs & Riley luggage is available across Canada through authorized retailers in cities like Toronto, Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton, and Ottawa, as well as online. Shopping with an authorized Canadian dealer like Unluggage means your bag is covered by Briggs & Riley's full lifetime warranty, you get Canadian pricing and shipping, and you can browse the complete range of collections in one place.
Where Is Briggs & Riley Luggage Made?
Briggs & Riley was founded in 1993 and is headquartered in Hauppauge, New York, where the brand designs and engineers its luggage. Every bag is built to the same standards that back the company's lifetime guarantee, which is a big part of why Briggs & Riley has earned its reputation for durability among Canadian travellers.
Does Briggs & Riley's Lifetime Warranty Cover Everything?
The "Simple As That" guarantee doesn't cover cosmetic damage, nor does it cover lost or stolen bags. When you need a repair, however, you're covered—even if an airline, security, or another third party caused the damage. It's one of the most comprehensive warranties in the luggage industry and applies to Briggs & Riley bags bought in Canada.
How Does Briggs & Riley's CX Compression-Expansion System Work?
The CX system lets you pack up to 34% more into your bag. To activate it, you pull the release hinge outward or push a button in (depending on the bag), then pull up on the sides of the suitcase. When you're done, you press down on both sides to compress it back down. The system uses accordion-style compression panels that expand when the latches are released, compression bars that create downward pressure to push out the air, and locking latches that keep everything in place.
What Makes Briggs & Riley Luggage Worth the Investment?
The lifetime guarantee is a significant part of what makes Briggs & Riley luggage a worthwhile investment, and that guarantee is backed by the quality and thoughtful features built into every piece. These bags are highly functional, stylish, and durable—well worth it for anyone who travels even once a year, which is why Briggs & Riley is a popular premium choice in Canada despite its higher price point.
Which Briggs & Riley Collection Is Best for Business Travel?
The Baseline and Sympatico collections are both excellent options for business travellers. Both feature the CX Compression-Expansion system that makes packing easier, and both are backed by Briggs & Riley's lifetime warranty and superior craftsmanship. For tech-focused or lighter-weight needs, the ZDX and Torq collections are also worth a look
