Dunelm shoppers are set to turn heads in airports everywhere. One popular luggage set could trick other travellers into thinking your suitcases cost far more than just £35.
The affordable price comes as many prepare to escape the bitter end of British winter or start to plan ahead for a summer holiday. The homeware store might not be the first place you think of when it comes to luggage, but the choices on offer are varied enough there won’t be any suitcase mix-ups.
One popular choice is the Palermo Hard Shell Suitcase – available in two different colours – a cool cream or sleek navy. Both have leather-look accents on the corners and around the middle to give it a luxurious appearance, but on a budget.

Bargain-hunters will be delighted to find the cabin-sized option is priced at just £35, with larger alternatives starting from just £40. Boasting a durable hard shell exterior, the suitcase is made to withstand the rough and rapid world of airport baggage handling, all while safeguarding your belongings.
Customers have been quick to sing its praises, flooding Dunelm’s website with glowing five-star reviews, reports the Mirror. One satisfied buyer said: “This suitcase is so stylish and stands out looking far more expensive than it actually is!”
Another reviewer added: “Pleasantly surprised, it’s just excellent. It looks amazing and it is lightweight. Quality product at a bargain price. I would absolutely recommend this product.”
A third shared: “Simple, stylish and beautiful luggage. Really pleased with the purchase. Going to get a cabin one too. Don’t think twice, you will be happy with this purchase.”
Someone else commented: “So stylish, elegant and super practical. It feels lightweight but sturdy and the zip and lock are great quality. I got the cabin one which works perfectly for Easyjet and overheard lockers. Easy to wheel through the airport, so pleased with it and it fits so much into it.”
A fifth raved about their purchase, saying: “Absolutely fantastic suitcases easy to manoeuvre around even when full with holiday clothes. There is a separate section between top and bottom which zips around the entire case. It also has separate sections for small items like chargers and leads.”
However, not everyone’s experience was as positive. One person reported: “Awful quality, broke across the wheel on first time use – have had to purchase a new suitcase while abroad.” Another warned fellow travellers: “I loved the look of this case but after two trips I noticed the case was harder to move, the rubber had come off the wheels. Easily damaged through its intended use!”
Anyone wanting to buy their own luggage can do it quickly and easily online. Dunelm shoppers can choose home delivery or in-store collection – which is sometimes quicker and comes with no extra cost.
If you want something else, there are plenty of deals available elsewhere. For compact cabin-sized luggage, the ATX Luggage range on Amazon is a starting point, with prices from £28 and available in a selection of 13 chic colours.
Over at Debenhams’ website, bargain hunters can pick up the Groundlevel Delta Stripe Luggage Set. Boasting three hard-shell cases for just £49.99, this set comes in a variety of colours and could sort a whole family out for less than buying cases individually.
