Best suitcase for carry-on and check-in in 2025! Hit it!
Samsonite and Briggs & Riley if you want durability. Monos for the minimalist look. My Victorinox Spectra carry-on has survived all the trips (and the abuse), too.

thinking of splurging on a luggage set, any recs that'll last for years?
I bought a set (carry on and I believe large check in) from Monos on Black Friday two years ago. I bought basic black so it would be pretty lowkey and because it wasn’t one of their more popular colors I got a very good deal. I’ve used them a few times and they are still in great condition. No issues.

Small suitcase for college
I would look at Travel Pro or Samsonite soft side international sized bags if you can get them in India and must have the tech pocket in the front. The tech space in them takes up less space than in a hard side suitcase. Also maybe it is just me but while I thought I would like the hardside bag with the laptop pocket I decided it was easier if I just kept that in my personal item bag. I also have a carryon suitcase from Beis, and I like it a lot. They make a smaller international size suitcase now so I would look at that. I really like my Beis carryon on and I have zero complaints. The wheels are nice, the handle is padded, I rarely have to use the extension panel. I have a large hardside suitcase from Away and I am super happy with that case as well. I had to replace a handle and they sent me one quickly and haven’t had a problem since. Their carryon suitcases get a lot of love. Quince also makes a duplicate of the carryon for about $150. I have heard good things about Monos as well but I don’t own one.

BIFL HS Grad gift for my daughter
I bought my daughter a medium checked size suitcase as we were taking a trip to Europe. We went with the Heys brand. The suitcase is nice and works well for an under $200 (USD) suitcase. If you really want to spend the money then go with Away, Monos, or Beis. Those brands (plus Heys) come in trendy colors. If they are okay with soft side luggage then look at Travel Pro as well.
