Black Friday falls on 27 November 2026, and the sensible question is not how large the discount is, but whether you will still want the case in five years. If you are looking at a Black Friday suitcase, an aluminium suitcase is one of the few purchases where waiting for the sale and buying for the long term point in the same direction. At Amice, the sale runs from 10 November at 20:00 until 30 November, with 20% off all cases.
When to buy a suitcase around Black Friday
Most luggage sales cluster in the last two weeks of November. Stock of popular sizes and colours tends to thin out towards the end, so the first days are usually the calm moment to choose. If you are buying for a trip in December or January, or as a gift, order early enough to leave room for delivery.
Between 30 October and 9 November there is no sale at Amice. That is simply the quiet stretch before it starts. If you already know which case you want, you can wait until 10 November, or buy now and travel with it sooner. Both are reasonable.
What to look for before you buy
A discount only matters if the case is right for you. Three things decide that.
- Size. Decide whether you travel mostly with hand luggage or with a checked case. Our carry-on size guide explains how to measure against airline limits, which differ from one carrier to the next.
- Material. Aluminium does not crack or split the way some hard shells do. It dents and scratches, and over time it develops a patina that many owners come to like. Our guide to caring for aluminium cases shows what to expect.
- Guarantee. A case you plan to keep for years should come with a promise to match. Amice offers a lifetime guarantee on manufacturing faults, locks, hinges and frame breaks. The full terms are on the guarantee page.
Why an aluminium suitcase suits a sale
Many people treat Black Friday as the day to replace a case that has finally given up. An aluminium suitcase is built the other way round: made from 100% aluminium, with a frame and shell meant to last for decades rather than a few seasons. Spread over that many trips, a fair price becomes a quiet one.
It is also a case you will be happy to see on the luggage belt. The finish is calm, the lines are clean and the material does the talking. A friend for the road, rather than something you replace every few years.
Two cases to start with
The Original is our signature case. The carry-on measures 53 x 37 x 21 cm and weighs 4.2 kg, and it comes in Silver and Black. The Original range also includes a Front Pocket model for business travel and a check-in size, so you can build a matching pair over time.
The Florence is a slightly different shape. Its carry-on measures 55 x 35 x 20 cm and weighs 4.1 kg, with two combination locks and quiet wheels. Prices at the moment of writing start at 375 euros for the Florence carry-on and 430 euros for the Original carry-on, before the Black Friday reduction. Check the shop for current availability and colours, as popular variants can sell out.
If you want two cases, a set is worth a look. Sets are priced to reward buying a pair, and they keep the look consistent from the first trip to the last.
A short note on buying as a gift
An aluminium suitcase makes a gift people remember, particularly for Sinterklaas or Christmas. It is practical, it is personal and it lasts. If you are unsure of the right size, a carry-on is the easiest place to begin, because most people use hand luggage more than they expect.
