The Budget-Friendly Carry-On We Love Now Comes in New Fall Colors — And They’ll Definitely Sell Out

I've been drawn to design and aesthetics since I was a little girl. Despite the cringe-worthy multicolored room I had in high school (which seemed cool back then), creating spaces has always been my thing. I was that friend who always had people over and made sure the ambiance was just right, with moody lighting and good music. Choosing journalism as my path was a natural fit because I've always loved storytelling. Combining my passion for design and writing here at AT Media has been a dream. One of my greatest moments in this industry was meeting Chip and Joanna Gaines. Having watched their HGTV show religiously, meeting them in person exceeded all expectations. Their approach to home makeovers, preserving the original character and charm of the home, has been a huge inspiration to me. My heart lies in interior design and creating a cozy, inviting home. Lately, I've poured my energy into upgrading my own space — whether it's through new furniture, hanging wall art, or adding personal touches. And, of course, I'm documenting every step of the process so you can shop along with me!

There’s no screwing around when it comes to travel. Trust me, I’ve learned that the hard way. While cheap luggage may last a few trips, it eventually gets scuffed up, breaks, and just doesn’t navigate the airport the way you need it to (think bad maneuverability and an uncomfortable handle). From prior experiences, I knew I needed a suitcase that would last, which is why I switched to my trusty Away. However, my colleague — and AT’s executive commerce director — Mark owns Quince’s Hard Shell Carry-On, and Deputy Commerce Editor Alicia owns its Expandable Hard Shell Suitcase, and I have to say, for the price, their suitcases look pretty darn nice.

“It’s turned out to be a sturdy, reliable travel companion that I’d highly recommend to anyone looking for an affordable carry-on that looks expensive,” Mark says. “It holds a lot of items and packs quite a punch!” Alicia added, “It was so easy to wheel around the airport that I felt like I was barely using any extra strength to push it.” If you like the look of Quince’s luggage and need more reasons to pick a suitcase up for yourself, the brand just released two additional colorways for fall: Olive and Wine, and gosh, are they hard to ignore!
