If by “new American luggage brands” you mean newer U.S.-based brands that are worth knowing-not necessarily luggage manufactured in America-these are the ones I'd put on your radar:

1. ROAM - Best overall for customization - U.S. brand based in Georgia, with its luggage manufactured in Vidalia, Georgia. www.usatoday.com - Highly customizable colors and components. - The Americana Large Carry-On is a particularly interesting new option.

### ROAM Americana Large Carry-On $650.00

2. Away - Best mainstream American DTC brand - Not exactly new anymore-it launched in 2016-but its Series 3 is brand-new for 2026, with quieter wheels, wheel brakes and a redesigned interior. www.wired.com - Great choice if you want something proven rather than experimental.

### Away The Carry-On $275.00

3. NOMATIC - Best for organization - Utah-based travel-gear company known for extremely structured bags. - Its hard-shell luggage emphasizes maximizing interior capacity and organization.

### NOMATIC Carry-On Classic $469.99

4. Quince - Best value - A newer American DTC player bringing its low-markup model to luggage. - Its polycarbonate carry-on is around $130, dramatically undercutting most premium DTC competitors.

### Quince Carry-On $129.90

5. Peak Design - Best for serious travelers - Better known for camera/travel bags, but its newer Roller Pro brings the company's obsessive design approach to wheeled luggage. - Hybrid construction, unusually efficient trolley design and quick-access storage make it stand out. www.carryology.com

### If you specifically mean American-made

That's a much smaller-and more interesting-category. ROAM is one of the standout newer names, while Pelican makes particularly rugged luggage in the U.S. USA TODAY lists Pelican's luggage as manufactured/assembled in California and Massachusetts. www.usatoday.com

My shortlist: ROAM → best combination of American identity + customization NOMATIC → best functionality Away → best polished all-rounder Quince → best bang for the buck Pelican → best if durability matters above everything

If you tell me your budget (e.g. under $300 / $500 / $1,000) and whether you want carry-on or checked, I can narrow this to the 5 best models to actually buy.

For most travelers in America, the Nomatic Garment Bag is the best choice: it folds in half, is designed specifically for travel, and offers useful organization without the bulk of a suitcase.

Good alternatives:

- Away Garment Bag - best for capacity, organization, and overall build quality; a strong choice for business trips or weddings. - Delsey Mid-Length Garment Cover - best if you want a simpler, lightweight garment cover for suits or dresses. - Wool & Oak Nova Large - best garment-duffel option for combining hanging clothes with regular luggage space. - Samsonite Pro-DLX 6 - best premium wheeled option, especially for longer trips.

Before buying, check your airline's carry-on dimensions: garment bags may qualify as carry-ons, but size limits vary by airline.
