Luxurious Luggage
We rarely think much about luggage, well, until we need it. But luggage is one of those things in life that you shouldn’t skimp on. A good piece of luggage can last you for years and choosing a classic and luxurious piece will ensure you look put together and stylish for all your jet-setting trips to come.
Backpackin’ It
Attention fellow non-adventurers, just because you have a nice backpack for travel doesn’t mean you actually have to go backpacking, so you can keep reading. Now that I’ve gotten that out of the way, backpacks are a handy way to store all your needs for a quick trip or to bring everything you need onboard for a long flight. There’s plenty of room for electronics, snacks, books, and even extra clothes in case you end up being forced into an overnight stay at your connecting airport, and if you traveled at all in the summer of 2022, you’ve probably had that pleasure. But just because it’s a backpack, does not mean it can’t be luxurious and stylish. Posh leather backpacks are always a nice, classic look that will stand the test of time.
Weekender Bag
We are all familiar with du el bags, they are great for going to the gym or an overnight stay at a friend’s house. One step up from a du el bag is a weekender. A weekender is basically a du el that is larger, roomier, has more pockets, and really likes to travel. Small enough to bring as a carry-on, yet large enough to bring everything you need for, you guessed it, a weekend away. This bag is versatile and a must-have for your luggage collection. Weekenders tend to be more colorful, a bit fancier than their du el cousins, and can be found in all price ranges, and by most designers. From Gucci to Louis Vuitton to Fendi, weekenders are a stylish way to pack for your weekend getaway.
Spacious Suitcase
Everyone needs a large suitcase for those long trips, family trips, or if you’re simply an over packer like me. Because even though I haven’t worn that sweater in 3 years, it might be just perfect for a night out during my beach vacation. The good news is that you don’t have to sacrifice luxury and style at the expense of functionality. Many luxury brands o er large suitcases in di erent styles to choose from, such as rolling suitcases, hard side, soft side, and the classic old-school non-rolling suitcases. Make sure you check the weight of the suitcase before you commit to buying though, some can be heavy and will allow less weight available for clothing, souvenirs, and of course, overpacking.
Hanging Garment Bag
Garment bags have come a long way, baby. They are sleeker and better designed than ever before. Disguised as a mini suitcase or weekender, these garment bags unfold before your eyes and show o your crisp, clean, and unwrinkled clothes. This, along with pockets and compartments for the rest of your gear, a garment bag may be all you need for a quick trip. Whether you go with a classic leather or something a little flashier with a luxury logo, it is what’s on the inside that counts when it comes to modern day garment bags.
Matching Sets
Having a matching set of luggage gives an unparalleled look of class and sophistication. Not only does it have a luxurious look, even if you did not actually spend that much, it gives the impression you have it all together (no one needs to know if you don’t). Building a matching set can also be done slowly by buying pieces over time, especially with luxury brands like Louis Vuitton or Gucci, as you can get the same classic print for years.
