Which luggage brands actually have a lifetime warranty — and does it survive a gift

Lists of 'lifetime warranty luggage brands' are easy to find and short on one question that matters: does the promise survive the bag changing hands? We read the guarantee pages of three makers this library has already verified clause by clause — Briggs & Riley, Osprey and Gregory — and add the column nobody else runs: first-owner-only, or good for whoever is carrying it.

Editors' notes

The guarantee ledger — four things 'lifetime' means, read across seventeen makers

An editors' note that walks the shelves with one question: when a maker writes lifetime, what did it actually sign? Read across seventeen guarantee pages — socks to luggage to cast iron to lamps — the word resolves into four different promises: wear covered with no paper; a defect warranty wearing the word; a promise that dies with the first owner; and a promise gated behind registration or a receipt. The ledger, in one place, with the catch named for each.
