The Internet and GH Institute experts agree: Away luggage is worth the hype.

Here at Good Housekeeping, our team of shopping editors have been covering all the best Labor Day sales on furniture, mattresses and more throughout the month of August. In all that deal-hunting, this might be the most exciting (and biggest) event yet: Direct-to-consumer luggage brand Away is hosting its first-ever Labor Day sale with discounts as much as 35% off.

Thanks to its near-perfect marriage of form and function, Away has been ranked among the best luggage brands on the market by the Good Housekeeping Institute for years. If you've been thinking about buying an Away suitcase, now is the time to jump. We do not expect to see a discount of this caliber return for Black Friday. In comparison, last year's Away Black Friday luggage deals required a purchase of at least two suitcases to unlock a $50 total discount.

Another reason being, Away recently redesigned its suitcases. Those (improvements include a stronger telescopic trolley handle, a new handle at the bottom that's helpful when lifting your suitcase off the carousel at baggage claim and most notably, seven new colors). These sale suitcases are the brand's few remaining original models, and once sold out, they'll be gone for good.

While the design upgrades are nice, the originals are what impressed our Lab analysts and earned Away its cult status, so they're certainly still worth the price. Take the suitcase's shell: It's made of 100% polycarbonate that proved to be durable and lightweight in our Away review (we even drop-tested it!).

Our luggage expert Emma Seymour, senior analyst at the GH Institute Textiles Lab was "blown away by this bag for being impressively lightweight, scratch resistant, easy to maneuver and fitting everything in our packing tests." It also has a streamlined aesthetic with clean lines, matte finishes and stylish colors.

Not in the market for new luggage? The Away Labor Day sale extends to travel gear and travel backpacks, too. Honorable mention for the F.A.R. Backpack — I own this bag and carry it as my personal item on almost every flight I take. Designed for hiking and outdoor adventures, it has a roomy 26-liter interior with multiple pockets and practical details like a water-resistant outer shell and water bottle sleeve.

Given it's the first-ever Away Labor Day Sale, stock is sure to dwindle quickly. Get yours while you can!
