We're Tracking The Best Deals From Nordstrom's Anniversary Sale All Week
The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is in full swing, and our deals editors are spending all week curating a list of the best deals happening right now. This year's sale includes over 6,000 discounts on top brands like Hoka, Beis and Charlotte Tilbury. Among the sea of offers, we've also spotted markdowns on some of our editors' favorite products they've tested firsthand—like 30% off the Solawave Wrinkle Retreat LED Mask. We're monitoring the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale to track down the best deals on our favorite ... More products. ILLUSTRATION: FORBES / PHOTO: RETAILER The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale will technically be live through August 3, but its most coveted deals typically sell out within the first couple of days of public access. So we highly recommend shopping sooner rather than later in order to get the best selection of offers. Here, our editors have listed the best deals currently available and separated them by category for easy browsing.

The Hoka style was recently retired to make way for the new Bondi 9, so this is likely your last chance to pick up the shoe before it's gone for good. These popular sneakers are also a Forbes Vetted team favorite. They're lightweight, comfortable and easy to slip off and on. They're a great daily sneaker, but especially well suited for travel. Five colorways are currently on sale. For runners seeking a pair of sneakers that provide maximum cushioning and energy return, consider this pair from On. The shoes have a midsole drop that helps support and push your foot forward, a rocker to propel you and the brand's superfoam for soft landings during your runs. The On Cloudmonster shoes are currently on sale in two colors and 14 sizes. Up your loungewear game with these super cozy and soft Ugg slippers that are perfect for puttering around the house. Hint: These also make a fantastic holiday gift, so stock up while they're on sale. It doesn't get more classic than these leather Sperry boat shoes. The soles are designed to offer ample wet or dry traction, and a cushioned footbed offers plenty of comfort. Choose from tan, light green or navy. It doesn't get much more essential than Birkenstock sandals. This design includes two leather straps and a classic EVA cork footbed that molds to your foot over time to give you cushioning and support. As summer transitions into fall, you'll be glad you invested in this pair of leather riding boots. With a stable block heel and grippy rubber sole, they're easy to walk in—plus, they come in a wide option for thicker calves. You can't go wrong with a classic pair of Nike sneakers—the Air Force 1 earns our praise for its retro-cool aesthetic and lightweight, bouncy cushioning. Choose from Pink, Stadium Green and Metallic Silver. Whether you're running errands, working from home or heading to the pickleball courts, this tennis skort will keep you feeling comfortable—but also looking polished. It's on sale in three colors as part of the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale. There is nothing like quality cozy loungewear. This pajama set from Barefoot Dreams features an ultra-soft boat-neck sweater and matching pants. Available in three colors (Jave, Sand Dune and Faded Brick), this set already has me planning my next movie marathon. If you need a new suit, consider this option from Canali, a brand with roots tracing back to 1930s Italy. The Siena Suit, in particular, has a navy hue and traditional fit that provides a clean look to take with you to the office or your next formal event. This soft cotton button-up is perfect for both casual and dressier occasions, thanks to its slim fit, button-up design and framed cuffs and hems. You can style this top and wear it on its own or open it and layer it with an additional top underneath. It's currently on sale in three neutral colors. Make an understatedly cool statement with this futuristic modern crop top repurposed from utility bottoms. The mock neck adds to the drama while the slanted front pockets are as functional as they are stylish. This durable and soft shirt-jacket is a versatile addition to any wardrobe. The wool-blend double-cloth keeps you warm while the interior cotton lining makes it extra cozy. Pair it with jeans or slacks to take you everywhere from running errands to dinner. A trench coat is a timeless fashion staple, and this one from Barbour is ideal for rainy weather thanks to its waterproof cotton-polyamide blend. We also love its chic spread collar and belted waist. Here's the perfect opportunity to hop on the LED face mask train. After rigorously testing 9 LED face masks, our beauty team named this SolaWave model the best flexible option. During the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale, it's on sale for the lowest price we've seen yet. This skincare set includes two full-size products, the Undaria Algae Body Wash and Undaria Algae Body Oil, as well as a travel-size version of the body oil. The two-part routine is designed to support the skin's moisture barrier and leave it feeling silky smooth. I'm always looking for ways to stay moisturized, especially while traveling—the low humidity and high altitudes of planes always leave my skin in need of a little TLC. This mini moisturizing cream skincare set includes four luxurious bestsellers from La Mer in travel-sizes: The Treatment Lotion (0.5 ounces), The Renewal Oil Face Oil (0.17 ounces), Crème de la Mer Moisturizing Cream (0.5 ounces) and Rejuvenating Night Cream (0.24 ounces). I love a bundled gift set as it gives you the chance to try out a couple products for less. This Lancôme gift set features a primer and volumizing mascara that work in tandem to lift and lengthen each individual lash, producing a stunning, fanned-out eye look that's free of unwanted clumps. Estée Lauder is known for its high-quality skincare, and this Gel Eye Cream Duo is specifically formulated to brighten the appearance of dark circles in as little as two weeks, according to the brand. Ideal for all skin types (and discounted by $52), it's worth picking up this set for less. I keep hearing about Nécessaire, but I haven't tried any of its products yet. I have sensitive skin, so I've been eyeing this fragrance-free lotion. Reviewers say it's rich and moisturizing but doesn't leave your skin feeling heavy or sticky. This popular cleansing balm is sort of a three-in-one product. You can use it to remove makeup, as a daily cleanser and as a weekly face mask. The nourishing formula cleans, soothes and moisturizes. Stock up on a jumbo size during Nordstrom's sale. The popular T3 Curlwrap Curling Iron makes styling your hair a breeze thanks to a two-way AutoTwist switch that literally curls your hair for you. There are nine heat settings and even a timer option to create the perfect curl. Plus, the sleek styling tool looks good even if it's left out on your countertop. This 3-in-1 microccurent tool is tested and approved by our editors. The set includes the Trinity+ device, a detailing attachment, and an LED red light option so you can sculpt, smooth, lift and tone your skin from the comfort of home. Charlotte Tilbury's setting spray was having a major moment last year. It's a great base to get started on your makeup and also locks it in for the day with a pore-blurring finish. It's fragrance-free, long-lasting and delivers a gorgeous dewy finish. Give your hair A-list treatment with this shampoo and conditioner set, complete with both full and travel-size bottles of Gold Lust Repair & Restore formula. The shampoo gently cleanses and balances your scalp, while the conditioner deeply hydrates and nourishes for all-day shine. Supergoop is our go-to for lightweight, non-greasy sunscreens, and this box set stocks you up on two of the brands most popular products—the Unseen Sunscreen and the Unseen Sunscreen Stick. Both formulas melt effortlessly into the skin, and the stick is particularly useful for reapplying on the go. If you're like me in the kitchen, you gravitate to a specific blade and use it for just about everything. (For me, it's a classic chef's knife.) However, I recently picked up a breadknife and was gifted a paring knife, and I am almost embarrassed it took me so long. This set from Viking packs in all you could need in one block: a chef's knife, bread knife, carving knife, utility knife, paring knife, six steak knives, sharpening steel and kitchen shears. From braising to searing, a good cast iron pan is a kitchen workhorse. This option from Viking is 10.5 inches wide with steep sides to cook meat and vegetables alike. Plus, it's currently on sale for $100 less than its usual price. Welcome the sweet, citrus smells of summer into your home with this candle trio from Lovery. You get three scents—Vanilla Madagascar, Lemon Bergamot and Orange Blossom—each made of soy wax and long-lasting cotton wicks. Give your bed (and skin) the luxe treatment with this pair of Blissy Mulberry silk pillowcases. The hypoallergenic covers are available in over 20 colors and come in Standard, Queen and King size options. Parachute's oh-so-cozy quilted comforter is the stuff sweet dreams are made of. It's fluffy, machine-washable and elevates any bedroom decor. Just note it's only available in a Full/Queen. If you didn't get your Le Creuset mystery box, quite a few pieces are on sale for Nordstrom's Anniversary Sale. This classic Dutch oven is perfect for summer dinner parties and those low-and-slow meals as the weather cools. The pot is gorgeous, durable and versatile, truly a buy-it-for-life kitchen staple. Barefoot Dreams' CozyChic Rib Throw isn't your average blanket. Its luxuriously soft, cozy texture has gained a significant fanbase, and it comes in four dreamy hues: Terra, Moonwater, Umber and Sable. Right now, you can shop this celebrity-loved throw for 33% off. Voluspa's candles are high-quality and downright gorgeous. This set of five mini candles comes in elegant tin vessels embossed with the brand's Maison pattern. Scents include Santal Vanille, Baltic Amber, Forbidden Fig, Temple Moss and French Cade Lavender. Place them around your home or give them individually as gifts. This versatile stroller is designed to support more than 20 different configurations. It can fold flat, recline and it's compatible with Cybex car seats. This specific colorway, Moon Black with a taupe frame, is also exclusive to Nordstorm. Stokke's high-end highchair excels in style and versatility. It has a cool minimalist aesthetic, comes in several colorways and transitions to accommodate your child as they age. This discount includes a tray and cushions, which are not always bundled in with the chair itself. This sale is a great time to refresh your kid's winter wardrobe. Keep your little one warm with this puffer jacket from Save The Duck. It's water-resistant and lined to protect them against the elements. Plus, it's machine washable, so you can toss it in with other dirties. Leaving the house with young kids is like packing for a weekend trip, but the right bag can make a huge difference. This backpack-style diaper bag from Wayb features a plethora of pockets to help you stay organized when you're on the go. Its padded straps also make it comfortable for all-day wear. It's hard enough to get your kids to stick to a sleep schedule, and it becomes even harder when traveling. Several of my friends have turned to sleep tents and highly recommend them to other parents. SlumberPod's tent is dark, has space to hold two fans (one mini fan is included in this set) and a pouch to set up your baby monitor. When not in use, everything breaks down into a backpack that can fit into most carry-on bags. Making your own homemade baby food has never been easier thanks to this sleek appliance; it's a steamer, blender, defroster and warmer all-in-one. The container is generously sized to hold over 5 cups, so you can make plenty at once and freeze it for later. This set is cute but also includes important features for your convenience (and baby's comfort), like 100% cotton materials and an elastic waist. Everything is also machine-washable and can be tossed in the dryer without shrinking. This highly rated car seat and stroller system is designed to make travel with a baby easier. The stroller has four modes of use and is easily collapsible, while the lightweight car seat has a steel-reinforced pipaFIX rigid latch that makes installation a breeze. Some people are masterful at efficient packing—I am not among them. In fact, I need all of the help I can get, and that means compression systems and expandable luggage are my best friends when traveling. This carry-on from Away offers all of those features and more, including a durable shell, smooth spinner wheels and internal mesh pockets to keep your belongings organized. If you're on the hunt for new luggage, take a peek at this 2-piece set from Delsey Paris. Its durable design is super lightweight and strong enough to withstand the rigors of international travel. Béis makes some of our favorite pieces. Its designs are chic and well-made, with travelers top of mind. This roller suitcase offers a durable polycarbonate shell, 360-degree wheels, a telescoping handle, internal organization components and TSA-approved locks. Why not complete the set while you're at it? A rolling case is great, but a duffel is perfect for those quick weekend getaways or to add a carry-on companion to your checked luggage. It's also easier to access mid-travel, so it's great for storing things you might need during long flights, like toiletries, entertainment and a change of clothes. Available in four colorways, this Samsonite set includes a classic roller and a customizable carry case that can be used as a packing cube, worn as a crossbody or strapped to your luggage. The interior of the luggage has several zippered pockets, including a WetPak pocket, and compression straps to help keep you organized. This Herschel duffel sets itself apart with its exterior shoe compartment, where you can stash shoes or other items you don't want mingling with the rest of your belongings. The entire bag can fit in an overhead bin on a plane and has a removable padded shoulder strap for added comfort. If you're traveling with kids, the right gear can make or break a long travel day. This ride-on suitcase can be converted to push or pull, or your kid can take a seat and cruise through the airport. Once you're on the plane, the carry-on can also transform into a bed with a mattress and side panels to create a cozy sleep setup.

The annual event features thousands of deals across just about every category, from fashion staples to skincare to baby gear. It's typically a good opportunity to stock up on designer finds and seasonal must-haves for less. What Is The Difference Between The Nordstrom Half-Yearly Sale And The Anniversary Sale? Nordstrom's Half-Yearly Sale is a smaller bi-annual event that typically occurs once in the spring and once in the fall. Its Anniversary Sale takes place once a year over the summer and is known for major price cuts across all categories. Both sales always have notable offers, but the Anniversary Sale typically includes steeper discounts on more coveted items, as well as deals on fall and winter styles. Can I Shop The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Early? Nordstrom cardholders always get early access to the sale. Each membership tier, determined by how much you've spent at the department store over the past year, is allotted an early shopping window leading up to the sale. Icons (cardholders who've spent $15,000 or more in the past year) were able to start shopping July 8; Ambassadors (cardholders who've spent $5,000 or more in the past year) started July 9; and Influencers (cardholders who've spent $500 or more in the past year) were given access July 10. The sale officially opened to the public on July 12 and will be live through Aug. 3.

I Avoid Checked Bag Fees When I Fly Thanks to This Weekender That Fits Almost As Much As a Suitcase
As an Italian travel writer and frequent international traveler, I've come to learn that your personal item can make or break your experience. I'm team carry-on only, and with airplane carriers raising their checked luggage fees to near-astronomical levels, it's never been a better time to invest in a personal item that's not only compact but also spacious. For years, I searched for the unicorn item that could hit that exact sweet spot, running through my fair share of backpacks, underseat luggage, and tote bags to no avail. That was until I got my hands on the Béis Mini Weekender, an item I saw constantly going viral on social media. Just like that, my quest was over. I'll admit I was totally influenced, but let me be the first to say the hype is real and totally justified. Since finding it nearly two years ago, my mini weekender has become my go-to personal item, accompanying me on journeys across the world on two-week trips to India, Ireland, home to Rome, and more. Seriously, I might need to get it a passport of its own. Don't let the word 'mini' fool you — it packs quite the punch when it comes to organizational capacity. Credit: Beis The mini weekender is the smaller version of Béis' regular weekender, but it still boasts an impressive 33-liter capacity and plenty of organizational pockets. Inside, you'll find a lightly padded laptop pocket with a velcro-strap closure, a key ring leash, one long and deep zippered pocket, and two slip pockets large enough to fit a pair of sunglasses, deodorant, portable chargers, and more. Its spacious main compartment also has the added benefit of a wide opening that stays put thanks to a flexible yet sturdy metal frame. This is especially useful when I need to grab something when on the go or in-flight, as I can easily see everything I've packed without having to blindly rummage for it. Outside are two zippered pockets; one of which doubles as a trolley sleeve so that I can attach it to my carry-on (my preferred way of transporting a weekender bag). However, it can also be carried by its comfortable top handles or padded, removable shoulder strap. My absolute favorite feature is its zippered bottom shoe compartment. It's wrapped in stylish vegan leather and is great for storing away bulkier items that take up unnecessary space in my carry-on. This compartment is also quite stiff and durable, so whatever you pack inside of it will be protected. Remember when I said this weekender is sneakily spacious? I wasn't lying. Despite its compact frame, I've been able to pack nearly a carry-on suitcase's worth of items. In its main compartment, I've packed my Fujifilm XT-30 II camera, a 32-ounce HydroJug tumbler, two small toiletry bags, a travel cord organizer, and a small compression packing cube filled with lighter clothing. In the bottom compartment, I've stashed away everything from slippers, a backpack, a scarf, an umbrella, and even a travel-sized hairdryer. Best of all? The weekender was still able to fit beneath the seat in front of me. While this might be a tighter fit depending on the airline carrier and your height (I'm 5 feet tall, for reference), the point is that it still can fit and is an efficient way to save on international checked luggage fees. The Béis Mini Weekender is my favorite personal item when traveling internationally with only a carry-on. Its compact frame, smart organizational features, and stylish silhouette (available in eight neutral hues) puts it ahead of the competition. At less than $100, it also doesn't hurt that it's a budget-friendly investment that will last you for years to come. Whether you need a personal item to maximize your limited luggage space or are looking for one that can handle all of your souvenir shopping, the Béis Mini Weekender is bound to be your new best friend on any of your international travels.

Béis luggage review: Our honest thoughts on the suitcase and weekender bag
New York Post may be compensated and/or receive an affiliate commission if you click or buy through our links. Featured pricing is subject to change. We all have baggage; may as well make it look good, right? That was our feeling when we kept seeing Béis luggage all over our social media, from TikTok to viral moments involving our favorite (or least favorite?) Bravo stars as of late. Regardless, anyone who is anyone seems to have these bags, so we wanted to get in on the action and put the brand to the test ourselves. Advertisement Béis luggage and bags are created to make travel both seamless and stylish. With designs as functional as they are fashionable, Béis bags boast weight-limit indicators, spinner wheels, stain-resistance, large capacities, and more safety and security features to secure your belongings. Beis Pros: Built-in weight indicator Interior pockets and laundry bags TSA-approved lock Durable shell and spinner wheels Gorgeous colors that turn heads Cons: Light colors scuff easily Slightly heavier than some competitors The Medium Hard Shell Roller is Béis's second-largest suitcase, designed to endure the trials of airport chaos while looking damn good doing it. It features a 360-degree wheel system for gliding across terminals, a TSA lock for security, a cushioned handle with a built-in weight limit indicator (which lights up red if you exceed 50 lbs), and an exterior clip for attaching other bags. Inside, you'll find multiple compartments for organization, including compression flaps, zipper pockets, and even labeled laundry bags. Size options: Available in Small Carry-On, Carry-On, Medium Check-In, Large Check-In | Color options: 13 | Special features: TSA-approved lock, 360 spinning wheels, Stain resistant, Expandable design Beis Pros: Dedicated shoe/toiletry compartment Padded laptop sleeve for easy TSA removal Spacious interior with multiple organizing pockets Smart trolley sleeve converts into hidden pocket Stylish and structured Cons: Shoulder strap may wear or break with heavy use (Béis sent a replacement) Can be a tight fit in regional or budget airline overhead bins Light colors may show dirt over time The Béis Weekender Bag is the overachiever of carry-ons — part overnight bag, part gym tote, part chaotic travel goblin whisperer. It's got structure (thanks to a firm frame that doesn't collapse when empty), sophistication (in colors that look expensive), and smarts (like a bottom zippered compartment just for shoes, wet clothes, or TSA-angering toiletries). The main compartment includes a padded laptop sleeve, key leash, two open pockets, and a zippered section for tech or your emergency snacks. The pièce de résistance? The back sleeve slides over your suitcase handle and doubles as a secret pocket when zipped at the bottom. In other words, it's not just a bag. It's a system. Size options: Mini Weekender, Regular Weekender | Color options: 7 | Special features: Key leash, Organizational pockets, Trolley pass-through What is Béis, and why is it so popular? Beis If luggage had a hype brand, this would be it. Béis, at its core, is a luggage brand for the aesthetic traveler, who also values function as much as fashion. It was founded by actress, model, and mom, Shay Mitchell, who also happens to be an avid traveler. She is also the CEO of the brand, giving the company the most honest celebrity endorsement. Aside from the star-factor, the bags themselves gained popularity for their multi-purpose design and matching colors, including the very millennial pink set reviewed below. 'You don't need to buy a plane ticket to find our designs useful—we made sure every detail delivered on your day-to-day goals,' reads the site. 'For instance, our duffle doubles as a gym bag, and our backpack goes from carry-on to carrying all your tech. Our hard-side luggage sets are made for traveling with every feature carefully designed to keep you moving effortlessly while staying fashion-forward.' Lastly, for those who follow internet drama and Bravo reality shows, the Béis bags made an appearance in the middle of the #scandoval 'Vanderpump Rules' drama, when Raquel Leviss was seen leaving Tom Sandoval's house with a beige weekender bag. Then, the brand not only used this for social media fire, but gifted Ariana Madix an entire set of luggage, which she then took to the airport as seen in this Page Six exclusive. All in all, Béis is the luggage brand for both the 'it' girl and the high-speed traveler and go-getter, combining all the amazing features listed below and a touch of fashion, too. Our review I put both the hard-sided luggage and the weekender to the ultimate test — flying on not one or two mainstream flights via JetBlue but also on a smaller budget airline before the bags could finally return home. That's a total of four trips to the airport, eight luggage shoots, two hotel bellhops, and many forms of car and van transit for the bags to get roughed up, scratched up… or survive without a ding? There's something about having a matching set of luggage… I also loved how the bag clipped right to the front of the suitcase and could also slide over the handle for another way to carry. Sophie Cannon I have never felt fancier parading through an airport in my life. This is a lofty statement, especially as someone who travels frequently and with all sorts of luggage. However, on my way to JFK, even the cab driver noticed my bags — 'Nice color, I like this.' Aside from aesthetics, the true test of a suitcase is twofold: Does it pack well, and does it hold up through the rough conditions of TSA, baggage claim, and traveling? I put both to the ultimate test, flying on not one or two mainstream flights via JetBlue but also on a smaller budget airline with minimal overhead space and only one-by-two person seating. Sophie Cannon Packing: As with any trip, packing is the first hurdle. When I opened the suitcase, I was pleasantly surprised to see that not only did I buy a sturdy, hard-sized bag, but it also came with two internal zipper pockets for organization, a flat flap with a zipper for more delicate dresses or even art work on the way home and my favorite part, two bags for dirty clothes labeled 'dirt bag' and 'not so Béisic.' Another huge win for me was the weight sensor, built right into the handle of the bag. When you hit 50lbs, the sensor lights up red, telling you to pack a bit less and avoid a sticky situation when you get to TSA. I tested this with the old-fashioned step-on-a-scale-and-step-off trick, which I also hate in general — I don't want to weigh myself, thank you — and it was accurate, as my massive bag clocked in at under 50lbs and didn't light up, but when I added an extra outfit it lit up with the warning and sure enough, the scale showed 51lbs. The TSA lock (left) made me feel safe lugging my luggage around the country, and the packing situation on the inside kept my art safe and flat and my breakables tucked away inside the hard-shell bag. Sophie Cannon Baggage Claim and TSA: This part was the easiest, as I already knew my bag would be under the 50-pound limit. Sure enough, at the JetBlue gate, my bag was under the limit by a few pounds, and I was given my luggage tag receipt and sent on my way with my weekender in hand. On the larger planes to and from JFK, I was able to easily slide the bag under the seat in front of me and put it in the overhead bin. I was a bit scared for the skinny plane from Aruba to Curaçao, as even the flight attendant at the gate warned me that if my weekender didn't fit in the overhead, I would have to gate check it. However, with full faith in my Béis bag, I was indeed able to turn the bag on its side and successfully close the overhead bin. Be sure to check your airline's dimensions, though, as others may find themselves on even smaller planes. TSA with my weekender was also a breeze, as I easily found my laptop in the padded pocket and removed my baggy of liquids from the main inside compartment. The bag just barely fit in the provided bins at the airport, but the bag does have little feet on the bottom and can ride on the conveyor belt alone, pending your airport's rules. Sophie Cannon Cannon's not the only Post Wanted member who's a fan of Béis. Barret Wertz, New York Post's commerce editorial director, is also a fan, owning the same set in a different color.

Barret Wertz Barret Wertz Advertisement How much does Béis luggage cost? Beis What is the price for seamless packing and travel? Not priceless, but we're willing to spend a pretty penny on pretty luggage. Starting with the actual hard-sided luggage, the smallest carry-on bag goes for $248 and includes 360-degree wheels, a weight indicator for packing, a cushioned handle, and TSA-friendly locks. These features can also be found on the larger check-in roller collection, which includes a 26-inch roller ($338) and a 29-inch roller ($368) in a rainbow of colors and neutrals. The viral weekender bag retails for $108 and comes in matching colors to the suitcases above. You can also check out the mini weekender for $98. Béis sizes and specs Beis Looking at their luggage specifically, Béis carries one 21-inch Carry-On and two sizes in their hard-shell luggage, a 26-inch Medium Check-In Roller and a 29-inch Large Check-In Roller. They also carry one black soft-sided carry-on and one black soft-sided check-in bag, with a 21-inch and 29-inch size, respectively. Each suitcase also comes with unique features that make travel a breeze, one in particular for over-packers. On the side of the bag is a weight indicator that automatically lights up red if your bag is over 50 pounds. This alone is a stand-out feature, but when combined with the TSA lock, cushioned handle, and the outside luggage clip to attach more luggage or totes, this suitcase can really do it all. The weekender collection also comes in two sizes, with the larger having a 49-liter capacity and the Mini at a 33-liter size. They both have a separate bottom zipper compartment that can store shoes or toiletries, while the interior of the bag comes with a padded laptop sleeve, a zipper pocket, two open pockets, and a key leash clip. How we tested All products were tested on multiple flights across various airlines, including JetBlue and a small regional plane in the Caribbean. Our editor used both the hard shell roller and the weekender bag for four full travel days — including hotel transfers, baggage claims, car rides, and overhead bin Tetris. Each product was packed to full capacity and weighed against the built-in sensor to verify accuracy. TSA checkpoints were also used to test ease of use with laptop removal, liquid access, and bin compatibility. Additional criteria included: Durability: Assessed by visible wear after flights and handling Assessed by visible wear after flights and handling Functionality: Interior organization, ease of transport, built-in features Interior organization, ease of transport, built-in features Design/Aesthetic: Style, color options, and social response (yes, compliments count) Style, color options, and social response (yes, compliments count) Value: Quality compared to price and competitors Check out New York Post Shopping for more content.

'Dumpster fire': Retailers urge shoppers to buy now before tariffs raise prices
Retailers bracing for consumer spending to drop are using President Donald Trump's trade war as a marketing strategy, urging consumers to buy now before tariffs lead to price increases or potential shortages. A host of private and direct-to-consumer brands such as Beis, Bare Necessities, Fashion Nova and Knix have mentioned tariffs in marketing campaigns in the weeks since Trump announced his plans for steep so-called reciprocal tariffs on dozens of countries. While the administration later temporarily lowered rates for most countries, the announcement sent the retail industry into crisis mode because it is nearly impossible for businesses to plan while they don't know how tariffs will ultimately shake out. Experts widely expect consumer spending will fall, creating challenges for companies big and small that could struggle to weather that storm. Some companies importing goods from China that now face a 145% duty have paused or canceled orders, while those with supply chains in other parts of Asia such as Vietnam and Cambodia are trying to stock up now as higher tariffs are still on pause. The exact impact varies by retailer, sector and brand. But Trump's trade war poses an existential crisis to many retailers that make their money selling consumers products they could ultimately live without. Some brands, such as lingerie store Bare Necessities, did an outright 'pre-tariff sale.' The company offered discounts of around 30% as it told consumers to 'stock up before tariffs hit.' 'Tariffs? No clue. A good deal? We got you. Save up to 30% before prices shift,' Bare Necessities said to customers in a text message. 'We didn't know how to spell tariff last week, but we do know this: up to 30% off is a good idea!' it said in another message. Read More How Facebook Marketplace is keeping young people on the platform Temporarily lowering prices as brands brace for costs to rise might feel counterintuitive, but anything retailers can do to 'shore up their overall financials' ahead of a potential drop off in spending is a smart move, said Sonia Lapinsky, a partner and managing director at consulting firm AlixPartners. 'Retailers should be doing anything they can to get as much demand as possible, as soon as possible, because from our perspective, things are going to really fall off a cliff. … We've been seeing a very skittish customer since about February, March, and it's only gotten worse as the tariff talk has gotten kind of more constant,' said Lapinsky. 'They don't want to give away all the margin now, but it's a trade-off, right? Like it's better to have 80% of the dollars now versus having to clear things or not getting any demand in the door two months from now. I think they're really desperately trying to kind of forecast what this year looks like, and having a really challenging time.' For smaller brands that lack the scale and maturity of their larger counterparts, boosting cash flow before demand falls could be critical to their survival. Tariffs are 'going to impact every business, but I think it's going to impact [smaller companies] more because they have fewer global options from their supply chain,' said Lauren Beitelspacher, a professor of marketing at Babson College in Massachusetts. 'If you think about like a Target and a Walmart, I mean, they definitely have more of a global supply chain where they're able to source from countries all around the world versus smaller brands … they have limited options.' Read More Moosejaw introduces gear, apparel resale program Pre-tariff promotions could be a reason why some spending data in March came in better than expected because some shoppers are making purchases now before prices rise — particularly big-ticket items such as cars. 'People who have the means are hearing all this talk, they're hearing some of the advertisements, and they're actually getting out there shopping so that they can get their purchases in before the prices go up,' said Lapinsky. Other brands, such as luggage company Beis, did not do an outright pre-tariff sale. The brand sent a letter to shoppers explaining it did not know if prices would increase or by how much, but rates would not change — 'for now.' 'Let's skip the corporate-speak: This tariff situation is a complete dumpster fire, and we're all getting burned. Here's the situation: Costs are up, and unfortunately, our prices will have to follow suit,' Beis' team wrote in the letter, adding that it is 'financially traumatized.' 'You're probably wondering what this means for your cart. Unfortunately, so are we. Honestly, we're just as confused as everyone else. But changes are coming. What kind of changes? Don't know. When? Could be tomorrow or … ok we don't know that either.' The company leaned on humor in its message, telling shoppers 'our spreadsheets have spreadsheets,' and said it has considered everything from 'company-wide ramen diets' to an OnlyFans account to avoid raising prices. But within the jokes was a subtle call to action: 'if you've been eyeing something, now might be a good time to make your move, as current pricing remains in effect — for now.' Leaning on humor to discuss a politically divisive topic such as tariffs is strategic because most brands don't want to alienate customers based on their political beliefs, said Barbara Kahn, a professor of marketing at The Wharton School. 'Trying to remove the stink from it … so they don't have to take sides because the tariffs are not only an economic mechanism, they are linked to political beliefs,' said Kahn. 'You are seeing a lot of brands trying to neutralize some of the political statements that they've made in the past and so I think something like humor would diffuse any kind of political issue and just make it into something: 'Here's a good deal. Take advantage of it.''
