IF you’re lucky enough to be headed off on holiday this winter, an Antler suitcase could be the perfect companion.
We’ve called the brand’s cases “a dream on wheels” in the past, but there’s no denying they can be pricey.
However, Antler Black Friday deals tend to be quite generous, saving you cash that can be spent on cocktails, boat trips or massages.
Antler is a premium brand that’s been around since 1914. Its products are celebrated for their design, longevity and practicality.
This year saw the launch of a new line in the form of the Icon Stripe collection.
Antler also recently released its Soft Stripe Underseat Cabin – a case that fits snugly beneath the seat in front and is small enough to avoid those pesky airline charges.
We’ve included several Antler items in our pick of the best suitcases and best cabin cases.
So we’re pretty excited about what the Antler Black Friday sale will look like this year.
Best live Antler deals
Antler has launched an “exclusive preview” of its Black Friday deals, with up to 40% off selected cases, rucksacks and case sets.
The use of the word “preview” makes us think there could be further deals to come; last year, the brand’s main sale applied to all items on its website.
However, last year Antler only discounted items by 30%, so we’d be surprised to see reductions exceed the 40% offered on some of the items below.
- Medium Suitcase in Aspen Green,
£195£117 – buy here - Large Suitcase in Arctic Grey,
£225£135 – buy here - Cabin Suitcase in Arctic Grey,
£165£99 – buy here - Suitcase Set in Aspen Green,

When is Black Friday 2024?
This year, Black Friday is happening on Friday 29 November.
As ever, it’s taking place the day after Thanksgiving in the USA.
Black Friday was originally an American phenomenon but over the years has spread across the rest of the world.
Find out more about the event’s history in our Black Friday explainer.
Although the name suggests a one-day sale, it’s a much bigger event than that.
Black Friday sales can start as early as the beginning of November and will run until Cyber Monday on 2 December, and potentially beyond.
The long weekend offers an excellent opportunity for Christmas gift shopping, as well as for bagging bargains across the board, so if you’re looking to invest in quality luggage, keep an eye on the Antler website.
Last year it had a bunch of great offers on suitcases and travel bags for the shopping event.
Is Antler taking part in Black Friday this year?
Yes, Antler is taking part in Black Friday this year.
The luggage maker has already launched a Black Friday preview, with up to 40% off on selected luggage.
As Antler is referring to the current sale as a “preview”, we’d expect the brand to launch further deals, but we’re not sure when.
What to expect from Antler’s Black Friday sale 2024
We have high hopes for the Antler Black Friday sale this year and if 2023 is anything to go by, we’re in for big discounts across the board.
Scroll on to the next section to find out more about what was on offer during last year’s sale.
We’re hoping to see reductions on both hard-shell and soft-shell luggage ranges and if we’re lucky, perhaps price cuts on their newest range, the Icon Stripe collection.
Antler also offers a range of backpacks, holdalls and weekend bags in different sizes and colours. They’re perfect for weekend and mini-breaks.
With any luck, something of these smaller items will also feature in the Black Friday 2024 sale.
What was in Antler’s sale last year?
During Black Friday 2023, Antler held a sitewide sale, with 30% off all items.
When is Cyber Monday 2024 and is Antler taking part?
This year, Cyber Monday falls on 2 December. As you might imagine, it falls on the Monday directly after Black Friday and often marks the end of the sale.
Originally Cyber Monday was dedicated to online shopping, but that was in the days before internet shopping became the norm.
Read our when is Cyber Monday explainer to find out more about the sale day.
We’d say, if you’ve got your eye on something, don’t wait until Cyber Monday to make your purchase.
The best offers are generally on Black Friday itself and all those great deals and sales can sell out quickly.
How much does Antler’s shipping cost?
Standard delivery is free on all luggage from Antler, but there’s a £2.95 fee on items that cost less than £50.
It takes three to five working days for goods to arrive via standard shipping, but you can opt for express delivery for £3.95, or next-day delivery for £6.95.
You can also track your shipment and will be send a code in order to do so.
If the delivery date doesn’t suit you, then you can rearrange this for a more convenient time using the tracking code.
Does Antler offer any other discounts?
