Antler has been making suitcases since 1914, and it's one of the most searched luggage brands in Australia. But "Antler luggage" covers a lot of ground: ultra-light soft shells, hard-shell spinners with a lifetime warranty, backpacks, overnight bags and packing accessories.
This guide compares every Antler range we stock at Rainbow Bags, with current sale prices, so you can work out which one suits the way you travel. Everything mentioned here is in stock as we publish, and most of it is discounted in our 2026 Antler Sale.

Soft Stripe 2.0 — the lightest Antler carry-on
At 1.9 kg, the Soft Stripe 2.0 Carry-On is the lightest suitcase in the Antler range we stock. On a 7 kg cabin allowance, that leaves you 5.1 kg for everything you're actually taking.
It's made from 100% recycled polyester with a front zip pocket, so your passport, charger and laptop stay reachable without opening the whole case at the gate. The main compartment expands an extra 5 cm, and there's a TSA-approved combination lock.
- Size: 55 × 35 × 23 cm · Capacity: 37 L, 45 L expanded
- Colours in stock: Sand, Indigo Blue, Forest Green
- Medium: $197.40 · Large: $227.40
- All three sizes together: Soft Stripe 2.0 Set of 3 — $592.20
Choose this if: you fly budget airlines, you've been caught at the gate before, or you simply hate lifting a heavy case into an overhead locker.
Icon Stripe — the hard-shell all-rounder
The Icon Stripe Carry-On is the one to pick if you want protection as well as style. The water-resistant polycarbonate shell shrugs off rain and scuffs, and Antler's Silent Glide 360 wheels are genuinely quieter than most spinners — a small thing until you're crossing a tiled airport floor at 5 am.
- Weight: 2.8 kg · Size: 55 × 36 × 23 cm · Capacity: 39.6 L, 46 L expanded
- Three interior zip pockets, compression strap, TSA lock, YKK zips
- Backed by Antler's lifetime warranty
- Medium: $209.40 · Large: $239.40
Travelling for work? The Icon Stripe Carry-On with Pocket ($209.40) adds a front pocket with two padded sleeves that fit a laptop up to 16 inches, so your computer comes out at security without unpacking the case.
Juno and Lincoln — the value picks
If you want an Antler case without spending over $150, these two are where to look.
- Antler Juno Carry-On — $150.00. Lightweight expandable hard shell in Mineral or Dark Teal. Only a few left.
- Antler Lincoln Small 56cm — $129.50. 2.5 kg, 40 L (43 L expanded), scratch-resistant matte polypropylene, recessed TSA lock and a 10-year warranty. The cheapest way into the brand, and we have plenty in stock.
Hard shell or soft shell?
It comes down to two trade-offs.
Soft shell (Soft Stripe 2.0) is lighter and has outside pockets you can reach mid-journey. It also squeezes into a tight overhead locker more forgivingly.
Hard shell (Icon Stripe, Juno, Lincoln) protects fragile things better, wipes clean, and keeps its shape when it's thrown on a baggage belt.
If you mostly fly carry-on only, go soft. If you check your bag, go hard.
What size do you need?
| Size | Trip length | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Carry-on (55–56 cm) | 1–4 days | Fits the 56 × 36 × 23 cm cabin limit used by Qantas, Virgin Australia and Jetstar |
| Medium (around 68 cm) | 1–2 weeks | The most useful single case for most Australians |
| Large (around 80 cm) | 2–3 weeks or a family | Watch the 23 kg checked limit — a large case fills up faster than you think |
One tip that saves arguments at the check-in desk: keep the expander zipped closed when you fly carry-on. Expanding adds about 5 cm of depth, which pushes most cases past the 23 cm limit.

Frequently asked questions
What is the lightest Antler suitcase?
The Soft Stripe 2.0 Carry-On at 1.9 kg is the lightest Antler case we stock. The lightest hard shell is the Lincoln Small at 2.5 kg.
Does Antler luggage come with a warranty?
Yes, though it varies by range. The Icon Stripe range is covered by Antler's lifetime warranty, and the Lincoln range carries a 10-year warranty. Check the individual product page for the range you're looking at.
Is Antler carry-on luggage cabin size?
Yes. Antler carry-on cases measure 55–56 cm tall, within the 56 × 36 × 23 cm limit used by Qantas, Virgin Australia and Jetstar. Keep the expander closed and check your airline's weight limit, since that's where most people get caught.
Soft shell or hard shell Antler luggage?
Soft shell is lighter and has outside pockets. Hard shell protects better and cleans up more easily. For carry-on-only travel, lighter usually wins.
Which Antler suitcase is best for a two-week trip?
A medium case. The Soft Stripe 2.0 Medium ($197.40) or Icon Stripe Medium ($209.40) both suit 1–2 weeks for one person.
