Is this different from the sale that Samsonite seems to perpetually have? I've only passed by their store 2 or 3 times and it always has a big sale going on (just like US liuggage stores, always "on sale"). Pricing seemed about the same as on the web in the US, but maybe newer models and of course a chance to try the bag. But some of the knockoff brands seem to be built to the same design using the same components (maybe built on the same assembly line, just a different logo), and those are often 1/3 the Samsonite price (but without the warranty). Quality does vary, but at least some of the knockoffs are as well made as the original (sometimes better made).
