Good Housekeeping says the way to tell if a luggage handle will hold up is to look for a fabric or leather handle with an anchor strap extending at least two inches from the seam. It should have two rivets per side or heavy-duty reinforced stitching.
Most pieces of luggage weigh 8 to 13 pounds empty. So take that into consideration when you’re packing for a long trip and need to stay under the 50-pound weight limit.
