Bentley Luggage is perhaps best known in Canada as the Bentley Group, a chain of retail stores in ten provinces and two territories. Started in 1987, it has over 550 Bentley Luggage stores from sea to shining sea. Any Bentley luggage store carries luggage, wallets, purses, backpacks and related accessories.

Bentley Luggage stores, Bentley luggage and other brand names like Inglot, Jovin and Porters are scattered throughout Canada from St. John’s Newfoundland to British Columbia. Started as a single store, it grew rapidly acquiring competing chains along the way. Now offering Bentley luggage gifts, Bentley is a household name for retail luggage, handbags and accessories.

Right now, it is one of the largest luggage retailers in Canada who prides themselves on giving good value and customer service. They’re also considered to be one of the largest specialty store retailers of luggage in North America. Located in Montreal in a 300,000 square foot distribution center, they’re constantly producing innovative pieces of luggage to serve their Canadian customers.

Aside from their well known line of luggage, Bentley also manufactures relaxing spa kits, stainless steel travel gift sets, lock de-icer, spiffy eye glass holders with character, nose hair trimmers, whistle key chains and more. For product and price selection, it’s hard to beat a Bentley product.

Thinking about buying new luggage? What should you buy? These days with the size of airports, you really need luggage on wheels. Try to opt for luggage with smaller, narrower wheels. They prevent the tipping and twisting of the older wider wheeled bags. Hard side luggage is likely your best bet, as it tends to fare better in the long run. It won’t rip or sag or get caught in airport conveyor belts either.

You’re going to want to invest in a good lock for your hard side luggage as well. Don’t rely on the one that comes with the luggage as any other key from the same luggage manufacturer can open your case. Here’s a neat new product on the market that addresses luggage security. "Nanoseal" is a reusable, miniature sealing device that displays a random 4-digit number every time your bag is closed. The number changes if unauthorized entry occurs, and indicates the elapsed time since the luggage was last opened.

Before hauling half your wardrobe contents to the airport, you might want to call ahead and check to see how much luggage you are allowed. Normally, this will depend on your destination. But it’s wise to check ahead so you don’t get caught at the airport with too many bags.
