It’s absolutely one of those purchases that sounds borderline ridiculous when you say it out loud — a suitcase that costs that much? But once you actually use it, it becomes very hard to go back.
First, the build quality is unreal. The aluminum shell feels solid and protective without being clunky, the corners are reinforced, and it’s the kind of thing that looks better after it gets a few scuffs. It doesn’t feel precious — it feels like it’s meant to travel, not sit in a closet.
The wheels alone justify half the price. They glide so smoothly that even when it’s fully packed, it feels effortless to move through airports. No wobbling, no dragging, no fighting it while rushing to a gate.
What really makes it worth it, though, is how stress-reducing it is. Everything from the internal dividers to the locks feels intentional and easy. Packing is faster, navigating airports is smoother, and there’s this quiet confidence knowing your bag can handle pretty much anything.
As a gift, it’s one of those rare items that feels deeply personal but not risky.
It’s not flashy in a loud way, but it’s the kind of gift someone remembers every time they travel — which, to me, is the ultimate sign that something was 100% worth the price.
My Herman Miller Embody Chair was almost $2K and I hesitated for weeks… but it completely changed how I feel after 10+ hours at my desk. Zero back pain, better posture, and I genuinely look forward to sitting down for work. It’s not just a chair — it’s back insurance.
The Most Expensive Thing You Own that was 100% Worth the Price

I’m curious — what’s the most expensive thing you own that you don’t regret splurging on? Anything from tech to furniture to self-care.
For me, it’s my Rimowa aluminum carry-on.
