The Ultimate Target Carry-On Review: Is It Really Better Than Away? Find Out!

WANDERLUSTERS were smitten with a stylish yet practical carry-on, with some drawing comparisons to elite luggage brands.

From the aisles of Target, the budget-friendly suitcase captures travelers’ hearts through its flair and frugality.

A reviewer from the Huffington Post gushed over Target’s hardshell carry-on by Open Story.

The author compared it to Away — one of the best luggage companies, per CBS Essentials.

The traveler said the Open Story suitcase comes extremely close.

“It looks, glides, and functions nearly identically to … the internet-famous luggage brand Away,” the HuffPo author wrote about Target’s option.

While carry-on luggage from Away costs a minimum of $275, Target’s sells for $69.99, down from $89.99.

Open Story’s luggage comes in multiple different colors, too.

There is no black, but they have aqua, teal, brown, beige, gray, pink, and lime green.

It has a water-resistant exterior and interior mesh compartment with cross straps.

The luggage comes with eight spinner wheels, an expandable zipper, and a TSA-approved lock.

Open Story has a rating of 4.3 out of 5 stars on Target’s website.

“My new favorite suitcase. I love this suitcase,” a reviewer added.

“It is easy to open and roll. I love the color and it’s a great carry-on sized suitcase,” another person wrote.

“Rolls great and fits great in the overhead bins. Very durable also,” a third said.

“I had this thing packed full and it seemed super durable, especially the zippers,” a fourth posted.

“Lovely suitcase. Fits perfectly in the overhead compartment as carry-on luggage and easy to wipe and clean any scuff marks,” a fifth added.
