Empire Luggage

Walking by this unassuming Chinatown luggage purveyor, you might mistake the postcard stands in front for one of the many souvenir shops in the area. While the front of the store is lined with North Face backpacks ($50–$149), Manhattan Portage messenger bags ($40) and Jansport totes ($30), head to the back for larger luggage options from the likes of Samsonite, Bric’s and Delsey, along with Eagle Creek travel organizers and accessories.
