Buying Guide

Choosing a luggage cup holder

These products all mount on a wheeled suitcase handle, but they do different amounts of work. The quickest way to choose is to decide how much you want the holder to carry beyond a drink, and whether you want a separate accessory or a suitcase that already includes one.

The four types, compared

Cup-only holders

Carry drinks on the handle and nothing else. The lightest and simplest option if a phone and passport already have a home in your bag or pocket.

Holders with extra storage

Add a zippered compartment or pocket for small items you want within reach while you move. Useful if you would otherwise be juggling a phone or boarding pass.

Multi-function and 3-in-1

Pair drink carrying with another travel task in one item. Choose this when you would rather carry one accessory than several.

Organizer bags and suitcases with holders

An organizer bag sits over the handle and holds more than a drink. A suitcase with a built-in holder skips the separate accessory entirely.

What to check before you buy

  1. How it attaches. Most designs mount on the handle of a wheeled suitcase. Read the product description and look at the photos to see how the holder sits on the handle.
  2. What it holds. Cup-only designs carry drinks. Storage versions add a pocket or zippered compartment. Check the description for exactly what is included.
  3. Whether you want a second function. A 3-in-1 design combines jobs; if you only need a drink carried, a simpler holder may suit you better.
  4. Color and print. The catalog includes plain black and gray holders as well as floral and printed designs, so you can match your luggage or pick something you like.
  5. Price. Prices shown are reference prices from the source listings. Treat them as a guide for comparing products, not as a confirmed retail price.

Using and looking after a holder

Attach the holder to the suitcase handle before you load it, and check that it sits securely. Put drinks in first, then smaller items, so the weight stays low and balanced. When you fold the handle down or lift the case, take the drink out first.

For cleaning, follow whatever the product listing states. Where a listing does not give care instructions, wipe the holder with a damp cloth and let it dry fully before storing it. Do not put a holder in a washing machine unless the product information says it is safe to do so.

If you are comparing a holder with a suitcase that already has one built in, think about whether you want to keep using your current case. A separate holder moves between suitcases; a built-in one is fixed to that case.

Common questions

Will a holder fit my suitcase handle?

Most designs are made to mount on the handle of a wheeled suitcase. Check the product description and photos for the attachment method before ordering, since handles vary between cases.

Can I carry a hot drink?

These holders are designed to carry drinks on the handle. Use a cup with a secure lid, and take the drink out before folding the handle or lifting the case.

What is the difference between a cup-only holder and a storage version?

A cup-only holder carries drinks. A storage version adds a pocket or zippered compartment for small items such as a phone or passport.

Are the prices final?

No. Prices shown in the catalog are reference prices from the source listings. Confirmed retail prices are still to be set.
