Nearly 80 million Americans are expected to travel for Thanksgiving this year. This tracks—holiday travel has always been the norm for my family.
In fact, I have to think back to high school to remember a time when I didn’t travel for Thanksgiving. And every year as I’m stuffing dresses into the same sports duffel I had as a 16-year-old, I remind myself that I need to invest in new luggage. Luggage is a funny thing, though. There never seems to be a good time to drop a few hundred dollars on a suitcase, but when you need a new bag, you need it ASAP. This is especially true if you’re an athlete who needs specific luggage to transport your specialty gear.
But what if I told you there is a good time to buy luggage? And that time is now? Currently, Scandinavian journey brand Db is holding its biggest-ever Black Friday sale—meaning you could get up to 70% off your purchase! In case you’re not familiar, this isn’t your average luggage. Known for redefining travel gear with smart, award-winning designs and innovative technology, Db is a Scandinavian powerhouse brand offering everything from top-quality backpacks and luggage, to accessories with clean aesthetics and bold colorways.
These kinds of deals don’t just fall into your lap every day. And even if you don’t need a new suitcase right now, your future self will thank you for investing in travel gear. To get you started, I’m including some of my favorite luggage pieces from the site. Keep scrolling and get ready to “add to cart!”
Db Hugger Backpack 30L ($160)
The next-gen iteration of Db’s best-selling Hugger backpack features a more comfortable, ergonomic fit, a new, clean stealth design, additional internal pockets, Hook-Up system compatibility, and spacious capacity (i.e. it can hold a 16″ MacBook Pro).
Also, it’s gorgeous. This is the exact opposite of the bulky, squashed-looking backpacks I see people desperately shoving into overhead compartments whenever I travel. Compliments incoming!
Db Ramverk Backpack 21L ($160)
This is Db’s bestselling daily backpack a reason. It’s perfect for storing your laptop, creative essentials, keys, wallet, snacks, extra clothes, and whatever else you carry with you on your daily commute. It also features an external water bottle pocket and horizontal front straps for additional carrying capacity, taking you straight from work to the hiking trails.
Db Ramverk Check-In Luggage – Medium ($350)
My roomy duffel bag is great for road trips, but not so great for lugging around the airport. My very sore shoulders have taught me that a lightweight, rolling suitcase is a must any time you fly—and Db’s Ramverk check-in luggage is the cream of the crop.
Designed for 1-2 week getaways, it’s equipped with features specifically designed to elevate your travel experience. Think a custom built telescopic trolley handle, TSA approved locks for added security, and ultra-silent Japanese Hinomoto wheels.
Db Ramverk Front-Access Carry-on ($350)
I’m obsessed with this front-access carry-on, which is perfect for quick overnight stays.
The unique front access face lets you easily stash your most important essentials, simplifying the TSA experience and your overall travel experience. Within that same front access face, there’s also has a designated padded 16″ laptop sleeve. Talk about handy!
Db Essential Backpack 12L ($69)
Say bye-bye to hauling oversize backpacks and trains and subways, and get ready to welcome your good luggage era. This essential backpack is built for city commuters, but just because it’s simple doesn’t mean the brand skimped on its features. With a roll-top design that pays tribute to Db’s sport heritage, an internal water bottle pocket, and patented Db technology, it’s about to be the best backpack you’ve ever had.
Db Roamer Duffel 60L ($104)
You’ll want to take this classic roamer duffel with you wherever you roam. Unlike other duffels, it’s perfectly ergonomic, boasting chest AND shoulder straps to help balance your load. From its grab-and-go handles, to its fully opening main compartment, to its lockable kissing zippers, it’s made to simplify life on the road. Buy it for yourself or for the adventurer in your life!
Remember, Db’s Black Friday sale will be running for a limited time only, so be sure to get your shopping in ASAP.
