B&M: Swiss Army Lugano 4-piece Luggage Set from Nordstrom rack - $99 plus tax

Interesting how you can't find too much information on the luggage on the net. Even Wenger's own site doesn't have any details. My guess is that someone makes this luggage for Wenger in an attempt to pull some business from Victorinox who make excellent (and expensive) luggage.

Perhaps someone can post some 1st hand impressions and perhaps some details (like denier rating of the fabric) which is conspicously absent from the descriptions.

Apkesh, good find and thanks for taking the time/effort to post.

I just googled it and found the details of this item in the following site:

http://www.overstock.com/cgi-bin/d2.cgi?cid=75722&PAGE=PRODUCT&PROD_ID=1800034&fp=F

Not sure whether this is the item OP referred to.

Beefer1 said: I just talked to a guy at the location close to me. Price checks out and shipping checks out. However, he says you get a 24" and 22" bag...then a small duffel bag and some toiletres bag equaling 4 peices.

Can the OP confirm what peices were purchased...or even an item number from the reciept. If just 2 peices of luggage...not really all that great.

Thx for any help...B.

Yeah, that would suck. I'll call later and see exactly what sizes the luggage are. Thanks for the tip.

This is the only thing I was able to find on it. Is it this set?

lydiav said: I just went to Nordstrom Rack here in Grand Rapids, MI and there is a 4 piece Wenger (Swiss Army) luggage set for $99.97 BUT it is does not say Lugano anywhere. It is the St. Croix set # SA8322. My store had it in red, black, and grey. UPC for the grey set: 721427523490 Nordstrom item #SA8233404.

This set comes with 2 pullman, a small duffle and a REALLY small zippered sack. The set at Amazon and Overstock says 3 pullman. I don't think it is the same luggage as the OP states, at least not in my store. I am not able to find anything on the S. Croix set to compare pricing.

I have other Wenger luggage have really liked it. Comes with a 5 year warranty.

Downtown Seattle's set is a 25' vertical pullman, 21" pilot, 15" tote and 13" 'kit for toiletries.
Ask for luggage in the men's department. Phone: 1 206 448 8522.

My wife also confirmed the San Leandro set is the St. Croix with 2 pullmans and 2 bags. She said the quality seemed good to her. We're going to pick it up, in part because the zippered expandability is a nice feature for us.

It is not the same model as the OP's link to Amazon. The one on Amazon is Lugano, The one being sold is so much different. Refer to another post with a link to eBay. Pls correct your link OP. I've just been to Nordstrom Rack.

gambitx said: Not sure if it was the same model, but was just getting on a flight this morning and saw someone with some swiss army luggage. I was thinking to myself that was a nice looking suitcase. Of course, it also looked brand new, which might have been part of it too...

Another confirmation re: the St. Croix line...this time in the DFW area.

Though, they did have a single Victorinox 24" wheeled Large Cruiser (Lingo line) for $129 in the Hurst store. Unless they were hiding other ones in the back, they're now out, since I bought it.

Was going to get it (Lugano) but since it's the St Croix, I'm out.

In my last few months with Timberland, I was told the manufacturing of their luggage was made by the same firm as Victorinox, TRG Accessories.

I think the set is also called Swiss Gear St. Croix. It's label says "from the same company that makes Swiss Army knives".

They had burgandy and red at the Shaumburg, IL(Chicago) Nordstrom Rack. The quality is good, not excellent. The look of the luggage is solid though. They had about 7 sets left.

I don't recommend ordering it. I would inspect the luggage, in particular, the zipper for the big suitcase(since the rest of the luggage is locked into it). The zipper teeth can easy be broken. It is a basic zipper, not a large toothed zipper. Also, inspect the stitching. Some of the suitcases had sloppy stitching in my opinion, though not so bad as to compromise the sturdiness/durability of the luggage.

I picked the set in the best condition. Nordstrom Rack has a 1 month return policy and all the tags must be on the luggage still. I plan to inspect it better in the next couple days.

From initial inspection, I would give it a 7/10 in quality. 8.5/10 looks wise. Wish I could get black or charcoal colored though, but red is fine.

Received ours today (4/20--that's 2 day shipping via DHL). I am extremely pleased with the quality although wish the smallest piece were larger. It's a keeper.

Great deal.

I'm looking for a black one or grey, but all the stores around the DC area only carry the red set

Anyone knows a store that might have it in black and can ship it?

Please let me know.

Thanks
