I love Pearson's!!!! I've used them for booking cruises and my 40th wedding anniversary trip to Hawaii. I've bought some really cute purses here and they just have to many cute things for adults and kids. I just got a box of 50 surgical disposable face masks for $39 that might sound like a lot but I've been seeing places around charging $2 to $5 a piece for 1 so just saying hats off to Pearson's for not price gouging
Went to Pearson's gift shopping. I got two backgammon sets. Very handsome sets in little cases that are hinged and have a handle sort of like a tiny briefcase or old timey suitcase. Gave one each to two of my sons. That was the last Pearson's had in stock, but I wanna go back and get another set for my husband as a gift. Backgammon is a great game.
"Have you ever been on a long journey?" A quote, from a movie that a Val Kilmer character said, that I always liked. My wife and I are doing something similar to that. We needed a helping hand in planning a trip to Europe we are taking in November. I thought who better to help us than the place we relied on when we booked our honeymoon ten years ago, Pearson's Travel World. One thing that I like about going here is the smell of new leathery luggage that hits you as soon as you walk in. The staff has always greeted me upon entering, even if they are engaged with someone. They are not too pushy but they don't leave you hanging either. When get to the back, the ladies at the front desk of the travel agency are very kind and helpful. They are quick to get you talking with one of the agents. Over the years, I have spoken to a few different people and they each have been extremely accommodating and helpful. Sometimes planning a big trip, like a 10 day to Europe, can be daunting so why not let the pros do it for you. The agent that helped us this time, Chris, found us the best flights possible and he even changed a flight that ultimately didn't work for us the very next day. Overall I am very pleased this place and I will definitely go back to Pearsons's in the future for their service.
Booking our anniversary trip at Pearsons
Awesome service, super friendly, great selection of travel products & gifts.
This is absolutely the best place in Baton Rouge to find Vera Bradley!! They're knowledgeable and if they don't have a piece in, they'll try to order it for you. They also have luggage and other stuff. I found out today that they have some of the Christmas stuff that Dillards and JcPenny's carry around Christmas time (you know, the random gifts like money banks and nail manicure sets) already. Way cool place.
I visited Pearson's Travel to schedule a much needed vacation to the Bahama's for a group of five people. I was directed to speak with Judy Nicholson and she seemed very eager to help me. They were having computer issues at the time and that is totally understandable, so the agent and I discussed what we wanted to book and she told me she would work on it at home and get back to me with prices. Well it has been a little over a week and I have not heard a word back from her. I contacted her four days after our initial meeting and told her what I had found on the internet as far as hotels and air fare. She then stated that she would get on it and call me back. Still nothing. I am extremely disappointed with the service that I have received and Pearson's came highly recommended from several physicians that I work with. We wanted to pay for this trip in full, and now I have to seek help elsewhere to make arrangements. Maybe the other agents are more helpful, however Judy Nicholson is not. Someone else may have better luck with Pearson's but I will not recommend them to anyone that I know. Also, the physicians I work with were not happy with the service I received from their recommendation, and they will take their business elsewhere.

10 Questions with Pearson’s Travel World owner Ned Pearson
Pearson’s Travel World may have opened in 1979, but since then, it’s expanded far beyond the typical borders of any old luggage store. In fact, says owner Ned Pearson, the word “luggage” just seems too old-fashioned for the store’s current form—a place to find high-end travel goods and brand-new tech, plus a stop for designer brands like Vera Bradley. And with a full-service travel agency staffed with professional world-travelers, visitors can make Pearson’s a one-stop destination for planning a trip from start to finish. Keen to delve into the history of its development and its ever-expanding inventory, we asked Pearson a few more questions about his store.
1. What is a typical day like for you and your team? A typical day for me involves a lot of emails—making sure we’re stocked up on everything, keeping track of promotions we’re running and checking in on merchants. I guess I’d say that emails, promotions, ordering and employee management sums it all up pretty well.
2. What is your professional background? How did you get into the retail field? I was born into it. My dad opened Pearson’s in 1979, but I’m the fifth generation in the luggage industry, going back to my great, great grandfather on my mother’s side. He had a luggage store in New Orleans, but then my dad decided to break off and start Pearson’s here in Baton Rouge. So I was born into retail, grew up working in the stores, and just moved into all the management and ownership roles. I also have two other companies, Southern Authority and Audio Bomb , that do manufacturing, development and distribution all over the country.
4. What sets your store apart? Our service, our knowledge and our expertise. We have trained salespeople who really know their stuff. They know our merchandise backward and forward. We travel to different places around the country to get trained on information like new airline regulations and weight restrictions. We’re luggage specialists, and you won’t find that anywhere else. Plus, there’s no reason for people to shop online, since we match prices.
5. What is one thing you think customers should know about your store that they may not be aware of? Well, I mentioned the travel agency in the back. Our agents probably have over 120 combined years of travel experience. People think they’re getting a better deal online when they book hotels and vacations online, but they’re not. We don’t upcharge you. Our travel agents have been all around the world multiple times, and they’ve seen and done so many things. They know what to do, what not to do, and they have the experience to help design a perfect trip.
7. Can you share a hint about what shoppers will see in your store next season? There are some up-and-coming new brands that I think will become really big this year. We’ve got brands that are evolving into the new Nike, in a way. We’re also looking forward to newer, cooler gadgets. You’re going to see the most innovative products in our store, and not just luggage or travel-related items. We’re also getting more into women’s fashion and focusing on millennials and young business travelers.
9. What are a few must-have items for winter? Well, there were those 600 hoverboards at Christmas. We always have trendy gifts that may be out of stock elsewhere. We also send designers to Colombia to craft a lot of high-quality leather goods. You just can’t duplicate that anywhere else in Baton Rouge.
10. What are some of your best-selling products? Tumi luggage is a big brand for us, and it’s also starting to get into women’s fashion. Rimowa is another big seller.
