All sets come in either three or four or five or more pieces per set. What you get in each set varies depending on the label or brand of your luggage maker. Let us look at two brands and see how they differ:

• Hartmann
• Piel Leather

Hartmann – hartmann leather luggage makes more than just luggage. Their range includes wallets, garment bags and business cases. They have wheeled and carry on luggage also. They are not exclusively leather however but when they use it, it is used well. Instead of selling one whole set, they have a range of styles that are used across the board for all types of luggage available. This means you can pick and choose as you like and still get the same look.

Piel Leather – this brand of luggage maker definitely makes some fine luggage with leather materials. They are an exclusively leather brand which means they really know what they are doing with this wonderful material. As well as the general items that you would have as luggage, they make duffel bags, laptop cases and backpacks. Piel have categorized their ranges based on need rather than color and matching sets.

As you can see from the above two examples, many leather goods are manufactured in addition to the standard luggage items that are required and used for everyday traveling.

Now let us explore some other items that belong in a set:

• leather luggage tags
• rolling/wheeled
• carry on

Leather luggage tags – some people like to have custom made luggage tags when they travel. If they have spent a certain amount on the luggage itself, they want to be sure that it is tagged properly. If you have luggage made from leather, you are likely to want, or already have, a tag made from leather. This means that it matches and makes it look more like a set.

Rolling/wheeled – these types of luggage can be called wheeled or rolled. There are small wheels usually at the base but sometimes on the edge of the luggage. This means that it can be rolled around with ease and is very convenient.

Carry on – Everyone needs a carry on while travelling. If there is nothing to check in then you at least will need and use a bag that you carry on to the plane or train.

As we can see from the different types of examples above, when it comes to leather sets, they are pretty much the same as other luggage sets. Some manufacturers include a variety of matching items while others always include the basic and most needed items. Either way, you will be sure to find something that suits your needs.

I have written some other interesting articles on this site about the benefits of leather when it comes to luggage and these are the same reasons that I would also take to mean as an investment.

A luxury means that it is something you could do without. The fact that you are traveling indicates that you need luggage and is now a necessity and not a luxury.

To have leather luggage means to have made a smart choice and means that you have common sense. You never know when you will be traveling next time so you want to be sure that the money you spend now will be long lasting. If you buy something quick and cheap, be sure that it will break quickly and be of very cheap quality.

You want your luggage to be:

• long lasting
• durable
• quality

Leather luggage is known to be all of these things and more. You spend a little bit of extra money now and you save a lot of money in the future over the years. This means it is an investment. This luggage made of leather will save you time and money in buying a new one.

You can be sure that your children will be using it when you have gotten to a point in life where you no longer travel. Or, instead of having it stashed away in the garage, your children can use it when you are not using it. You know that it will come back still in one piece.

A bit of extra money now will mean:

• use by you as well as your children

• saving money from not having to buy replacements

There are many points here that have shown you and hopefully convinced you that you just can not continue to throw money down the toilet by buying luggage made from bad materials. It is cheaper and better and worth your money to by leather so go and get it. It really is an investment.
