This isn't really the place to come if you're looking for a giant backpack for your trip to Bolivia. But it is very nice. Catering to stylish and/or professional travellers, Leigh St Luggage is more up-market. If you have the cash to buy luggage here, you will be rewarded as the stock is genuinely good quality. No sticky zips and shonky roller handles. The store itself is very nicely taken care of and the female proprietor I encountered on my visit was friendly and helpful. My mother was having a look around, and was able to ask questions about the differences between models and get very comprehensive answers. Which is what ya want if you're shelling out. I probably wouldn't buy luggage here unless I was travelling regularly, probably in a business capacity. That said, they do have a really nice range of casual satchels and backpacks, most of which come in good quality leather. read more

Leigh St. Luggage - Luggage Near Me - Adelaide, SA

I recently worked out that I fly on average at least 50+ flights every year. No crap guys, I practically live on the things. Fellow travellers will know the pain of trying to find good quality, hard wearing, durable yet aesthetically pleasing travel goods. Everything has huge logos! Crappy hardware! Use-once-and-it's-broken zips! No personality! Which pretty much leaves the frequent flyer one option: quality leather luggage. Leigh Street Luggage does this in spades: large, subtly designed carry ons, topnotch suitcases, leather passport holders and accessories. They also have some sweet vintage suitcases and satchels which are majorly pricey but cute to look at anyway. While the prices are rather on the steep side, you get what you pay for when it comes to luggage and if you fly a lot it's totally worth it in the long term. The store is a pleasure to browse as well - stacks of Monocle magazines, vintage satchels, box cameras, old school maps.. it's all very 'Darjeeling Limited' meets British Museum and I consider this a very good thing. read more

Stepping on into Leigh st luggage is like taking a step back in time, to before retail was about flashy lights and all the bells, whistles and sounds - to an era where quality sold quality. You can smell it's scent in the air. The store is filled with brands you haven't heard of, and brands that your parents talk about - the ones that last. There is no fly by night or one hit wonders, everything is quality. Now, what does a store that sells quality need? Quality staff. The lady owner - who by her words 'been here longer than I've been alive' - knows everything, from what you need, to what you really need. No gimmicky sales pitches. Mention a competitor brand to a product that's in store, and she'll tell you about how he sample broke or rusted and why you can't buy one from her. This is not a store for a backpacker, but a fine business traveler or anyone who knows and appreciated quality. read more

I love Leigh Street Luggage, I really do. I get warm fuzzies whenever I walk into the store. One of the reasons is Julie, she owns the store. She was a flight attendant in the 70s, and now she has this beautiful store. She's really friendly and incredibly helpful, and will help you track down any piece of luggage available to her. The goods here are also pretty slick, but as everyone's mentioned you probably won't snap up a bargain here. Take a look at the locally handmade leather backpacks, I think they might be sold uniquely through Leigh Street Luggage. Price is probably the main issue, but I do think you pay for the great service and the stories. I tried buying a suitcase here once, but they were out of stock and I was too tight on time to wait for one to be ordered in. I ended up buying the same one from Myer at 50% off, but part of me still wishes I'd bought it from here. If you're after a bargain you should probably give it a miss, but if you're after good customer service and a good experience pop in. read more
