I am considering various options such as shops, online shopping, or possibly buying it on an upcoming trip to the US.
If anyone can suggest brands, retailers, or both...
There are so many brands and stores one could suggest depending on your budget and travel style. But since you are from Canada, you might start by checking out Monos, which sells online but also has stores in Vancouver and Toronto. It's not the cheapest luggage, but also not the most expensive, and gets good reviews for style and function. (I've almost purchased a Monos bag several times, but wound up going in a different direction). You might also try searching online for some reviews of "10 best suitcases" or such -- not because you necessarily want to follow the specific recommendations (which are sometimes linked to financial sponsorship) but because the descriptions and comparisons will give you some ideas about what suitcase features are available and might be important to you. Good luck!
