The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is here once more, and that means shoppers can score major discounts across all categories—clothing, shoes, beauty, accessories, home goods, and even luggage. That's right—Nordstrom offers its biggest discounts of the year during the annual sale, with dozens of deals on best-selling luggage, duffel bags, and handbags, making it the perfect time to refresh your collection. Durable luggage and travel bags usually cost a pretty penny, but with this sale, travelers can score major discounts—just make sure to shop by August 4.
Whether you're looking for a new go-to carry-on you can travel the world with, a roomy duffel bag for all those weekend trips, or a polished tote you can bring to the office, the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale has you covered, with discounts from travel-friendly brands like Béis, Dagne Dover, Kate Spade, Monos, Tumi, and more.
Below, find our top picks for the best backpacks, crossbody bags, duffels, handbags, suitcases, and totes to shop from the Nordstrom luggage sale section before they're gone.
A suitcase goes through a lot of wear and tear, whether it's stowed in the overhead bin on your flight or bumping along the baggage carousel. These durable pieces of luggage from Monos and Tumi are built to last, and are trusted brands of our editors. I swear by hard-shell suitcases from Monos; inside, they feature two separate zip-mesh pockets for easy organization and a compression pad with a zip pocket to keep clothes in place. They hold up well, fit a ton, and make it easy to separate dirty and clean clothes with the interior pockets. Luggage from Tumi is always among the sale's most popular deals—the beloved brand is on the pricier side (but makes products that last for years), so there's no better time to finally snag that suitcase you've been eyeing.
The ideal duffel bag is roomy enough to carry your essentials, but still lightweight enough that you won't be weighed down when trying to catch your connecting flight or carry it onto a train. You want a weekender that will last, and luckily there are tons of durable, water-repellent options on sale that just happen to be easy to clean, too. A few of our favorites are from Dagne Dover, Herschel, and Monos.
A good backpack is a travel must-have. These styles have front or side compartments for storing your phone or wallet and offer plenty of room inside for a laptop, snacks, and maybe even a change of clothes. We're especially eyeing the discounted backpacks from Cole Haan and Herschel.
Everyone needs a trustworthy, sturdy tote bag that fits absolutely all of their plane must-haves—wallet, water bottle, books, and skincare products, to name a few. These are the bags you'll use again and again on just about

When I was a kid, one of the highlights of my grandmother’s visits was that we’d always go to Nordstrom to get a fancy snack at the cafe and browse the shoe section. Channeling those memories, when I moved out on my own, the department store became my go-to place for footwear of any kind, including my college go-to's, Converse Jack Purcell (which Nordstrom still carries).
