Where is the best place to buy cheap luggage in Singapore?
From knapsacks and durable luggages to toiletries, here’s where to shop for cheap travel suitcases in Singapore along with other essentials like winter wear and footwear.
1. C.H.NG Enterprise
Best place to buy branded luggage in Singapore for cheap
Tucked away in a corner of Level 1 at People’s Park Centre is C.H.NG Enterprise. While it may not be a huge travel shop in Singapore, it’s a hidden gem that offers loads of good luggage deals. The brands they carry may change from time to time, but some you can expect include Eminent, Swiss Polo, and Hush Puppies.
Lojel cabin size luggage with laptop compartment. These are around 25% more expensive if you were to buy one in malls.
They also have bundle deals – you can easily get Slazenger 29” + 20” hardshell luggages at very affordable prices; these are great for those who require more space to store their loot.
They only sell luggage, and there isn’t a specific sale period. So just pop by anytime you like, and you’ll be met with the bundle of the day. The boss will give generous discounts if you’re a sweet talker – we’re talking about tens of dollars here. Or bring a friend who also needs a new luggage, and they might give you a 20% to 30% discount for multiple purchases.
C.H.NG Enterprise review: The boss was helpful and the store has a good range of styles and prices. I’m very pleased with my purchase and enjoyed the conversation with the boss.

2. Decathlon
Camping gear, hiking shoes, sporty apparel, and backpacks
If you’re going for an outdoor adventure, pay a visit to Decathlon to purchase your field essentials. They’ve got field chairs (from $24.90) fitted with armrests that are great for resting your legs when you’re out fishing and camping.
The sportswear selection at Decathlon.
Stock up on a few sets of comfortable sportswear like windbreakers and tights from under $10 if you’re going on hikes, or shorts at $6.90. There are plenty of dri-fit tops and tights of different lengths to choose from for both men and women.
On the subject of hiking, the proper shoes for the activity can be quite costly. But at Decathlon, you can find a pair of trusty beginners’ hiking shoes starting from $19.90.
Alternatively, consider a pair of these sleek running shoes (from $14.90). They’ll be easy on your feet and will help you get around in comfort when walking for long hours.
Decathlon also houses a wide variety of winter wear. A full set that covers you from head to toe only costs a little over $100 – for example, a merino wool trekking hat at $14.90, ski jacket at $69.90 and ski gloves at $19.90.
Dry bags and haversacks.
Dry Bags (from $14.90) are absolute essentials if you’re going to do water activities like diving or paddling, so you don’t have to worry about splashes and capsizes ruining your phone and other precious items.
Their haversacks are also sold at unbeatable prices; this Quechua haversack is a common sight because it only costs $3.90 and it’s really durable – I’ve personally had mine for 2 years now which I use regularly for hikes and cycling trips, and it’s still in great condition.
Decathlon review: The Decathlon outlet at City Square Mall is a convenient spot to grab sports gear and outdoor essentials, and the prices here are reasonable too.

3. Winning
Heartland stores with frequent sales for winter wear and luggage
Located in the heartland malls such as Hougang Mall and Woodlands Square, Winning is a convenient one-stop travel shop in Singapore to get some cheap luggage and travel essentials if you don’t frequent town as much. Here, you can find 20” hardcase luggages starting from $44, and a huge 28” luggage from $64.
Winning also has random sales from time to time; We were met with a “Buy 24” + 28” luggage bundle going at $109 when we visited.
As for winter wear, go for their affordable polar fleece winter jackets which retail for just $28.90 to shield you from the cold.
Winning review: The staff at the Woodlands Square branch are friendly and helpful and they know the products very well. You can also come to this shop to buy winter wear.

4. Daiso
$2.18 heat packs and neck pillows
We already know that Daiso is the go-to dollar store, and although they’ve bumped their prices up by a little over the years, you can still cop travel essentials at relatively cheap prices here.
Long plane rides aren’t the most comfortable, unless you’re flying first class. Between meals and movie marathons, sleeping is what most of us do to pass the time. Daiso’s $2.18 air neck pillow will come in handy during times like this – it’s inflatable, which helps you save loads of carry-on baggage space.
If you’re travelling in winter or visiting chilly mountainous places, stock up on their heat packs to keep warm. Some of them even come with adhesive tape so you can stick them right on your body to keep warm.
You could also get a refillable perfume bottle to store your favourite scent for a short trip so you don’t have to bring the entire clunky fragrance bottle and add to your luggage weight.
A $2.18 tie case to store your tie proper.
A well-tailored suit is the shining armour you’d need when it comes to meeting important clients on a business trip. Prevent your tie from being wrinkled by packing it in a tie case, and it’ll still look sharp after a long-haul flight.
Daiso review: They sell almost everything you need – and don’t need. Some items are of good quality while others are not, but it’s not a bad place to shop for travel essentials or household items at affordable prices.

5. Mustafa Centre
Hundreds of luggage options
Mustafa Centre is one of the best places to do your shopping, period – it carries almost everything, from quirky snacks to watches and apparel. You can expect to find a wide selection of luggage too, and by “wide”, we mean a few hundreds to choose from. It’s also one of the few 24-hour shopping centres in Singapore, which is perfect for any last-minute purchases before you hit the airport.
This 31” American Tourister Rumpler hard-shell luggage comes with a TSA lock, is scratch resistant and has 3-years warranty – a great choice for your overseas shopping hauls. For a cheaper and smaller alternative, you can get the soft-shell 29” American Tourister luggage.
For additional security, you can pick up a luggage lock, such as these solid Carlton TSA locks. TSA locks are a must, especially if you’re travelling to USA, Japan, Canada, or South Korea, just to name a few. You wouldn’t want to watch your luggage getting ripped apart at the security clearance for using a non-approved lock.
Besides a ton of luggage for you to choose from, you can find loads of haversacks here too. Take this Bobby Original Anti-Theft Bag for instance, it’s about 20% cheaper than the ones found online.
Mustafa Centre review: A 24-hour shopping paradise with everything you can think of under one roof, from electronics to groceries, perfumes to luggage, it’s a massive place to explore.

6. Miniso
Toiletry pouches, roomy haversacks, and compact wallets
There may be a lot of travel stores in Singapore where you can find containers for your skincare products and body wash, but Miniso sells an array of them packed in different combinations to suit your needs – with pump bottles for shampoo or shower gel, spray bottles for toner, and mini tubs for creams. There’s an average of 5 containers per travel kit which comes in its own ziplock bag.
This travel kit contains 2 tall containers, a spray bottle, a pump bottle and 2 balm containers.
Stash those bottles and your makeup brushes all in this handy storage bag. It comes with a hook at the top so you can conveniently hang it in the bathroom to save counter space.
You might also want to consider a compact wallet that you can keep safe, close to your body – rather than a chunky long wallet. With simple designs in pastel colours, these come with 6 card holder slots for you to conveniently store your rail passes, tickets to attractions and identity card.
A roomy haversack is good to have when travelling, so you can chuck all your necessities in it and go hands-free. This haversack featuring the design of Grizzly from We Bare Bears is made from a solid blend of nylon and polyester, and is one adorable and functional option to carry around.
Miniso: One of my favourite go-to stores, items sold are useful and seem to be of above average quality.

7. Giant
Luggage, travel wash for backpackers, and clothing pouches
Giant hypermarkets don’t just sell groceries and clothing. They also have a corner dedicated to a range of luggage like the 20” Kapa Spinner to 28” Arnold Palmer hard case expandable luggage. You’ll also be able to find small travel knick knacks like ziplock bags, locks, and containers.

Worth noting is this Dylon Travel Wash detergent, which is extremely handy for budget backpackers who need to do their own laundry by the sink. It’s hand luggage approved, colour-safe and can be used on wool and silk too.

You can also use laundry pouches and packing cubes to organise your clothes categorically and store them in a compact manner to save precious luggage space.
Giant review: I’ve been coming here for years, and I always love the wide array of products that are mostly value for money. We also appreciate that the staff are all really friendly, although it can get quite busy on weekends.
