As the UK comes to the end of what was seemingly a short-lived heatwave, many Brits will be eager for a trip away as the holiday season gets underway. No matter if you’re jetting off abroad, spending a weekend on a staycation, or travelling around Europe the latest suitcase deal may just catch your attention.
Antler, a luggage brand renowned for its host of celeb users and recent price drops is offering a new deal that gives holidaymakers the chance to bag a designer case for a fraction of the usual price. The British brand has cut 20 per cent off particular ranges.
Up until Sunday, July 7, anyone who spends £225 on the Antler website will receive a 20 per cent discount, which drops the price by around £50 per case. And as reported by travel experts at The Mirror, it can be put towards a single product or a whole swanky range.
The Icon Stripe Large suitcase it one of the brand’s most popular picks, which shoppers can now grab for £200 less than normal. Normally priced at £245, the suitcase is available in seven colours. With this latest deal, shoppers will instantly save 20 per cent when they add one to their basket, bringing the total down to £196 – a saving of £49.
Ideal for any style of trip – you could go for two weeks in Europe, pop in the hold for a long haul adventure, or swing in the car for the whole family to share -it boasts a hardwearing shell that ensures your belongings are well-protected. There’s also an expandable functionality to increase capacity (something all fashion fans may approve of).
Other features include a TSA-approved combination lock which means if it gets stopped it can be opened without being broken, silent Glide 360 spinner wheels, a comfort grip handle and double-zip pockets and compression straps. It measures at 51.7 x 78 x 33.6 cm, and weighs less than 5kg.
The case has a near-perfect star rating from shoppers, with nothing less than a four-star review. Users have said they’re ‘far superior’ to other luxury brands , and are incredibly spacious. One said: “Massive case, lovely internal pockets, just beware it’s like the tardis and very easy to pack more than your luggage allowance.”
Another added: “I originally bought Samsonite cases but after a couple of trips the lock faltered and I was never very happy with them as they were not lined. I returned for a full refund and bought my 2 Antler cases which are far superior to Samsonite. Going forward I will buy Antler.”
A third review praised the luggage despite a minor issue, saying: “Ordered with standard delivery and delivered next working day. Colour as described, great size and more space than I expected. Love the look and feel, glides effortlessly and wheels are so quiet! Zips are a little stiff but I’m sure this will improve with use. Has got a bit scuffed already but I guess comes with territory of getting a pale colour. All in all very happy and worth the money! “.
For those seeking something smaller, the Icon Stripe Cabin Bag is an ideal choice. Touted as the “biggest carry-on” by its makers, it boasts dimensions of 39.5 x 58 x 24 cm and a light weight of 2.8kg.
It’s designed to fit in the overhead lockers of many budget airlines, including Ryanair, Jet2, and easyJet. Priced at £175, to push your purchase over the £225 threshold for a discount, consider adding a £12 Antler luggage tag and a reusable water bottle priced at £40. Normally, these items would set you back £227, but with the discount applied, the total comes down to £181.60 just £6.60 more than the suitcase alone.
Alternatively, for those wanting to elevate their travel game, there’s the option of splurging on a three-piece set. The Icon Stripe Set includes large, medium, and cabin-sized suitcases, typically retailing for £630. With the current promotion, they’re available for £504 at checkout.

A must-have for regular flyers, the bag’s interior is as attractive as its exterior and you can grab it for £90, down from £225.
