The Best Chic Suitcases to Roll Up to the Airport In Style With
The time has come to dust off your passport (if you can find it?!) and start planning your next holiday, with the trans-Tasman bubble officially opening this week. A quarantine-free trip to New Zealand is, so far, the only route available to Australians, but travel experts would tell us additional travel bubbles are in discussions with low-risk countries like Japan, Singapore and Thailand.
It’s great news for you, but not so much for your dated, banged-up luggage, which is more than likely sporting a thick layer of dust after sitting in the garage all this time (come to think of it, where is our luggage?!).
When you make your post-iso travel debut later this year or early next ā whenever it is you manage to book that first ticket ā why not do it in style? You’ve grown up during the pandemic, and thus your luggage deserves the same elevated rebrand.
As for us, we’re going for chic, simple silhouettes in bright colours ā something durable and versatile that we’ll be able to spot making its way around the baggage carousel when we first touch down in Paris… Berlin… Copenhagen…
From classic to statement and everything in between, these are the chic luggage cases we’ll be rolling up to the airport with this year.
JULY
Australia’s own JULY emerged in 2019 with its now-iconic Carry-On case, which comes with an air-approved ejectable battery. The brand recently launched the world’s lightest double-wheel carry-on case at just 1.8kg ($245), which is perfect for those who love a weekender as much as they love to shop ā since lighter luggage means more room for new things! It’s available in a range of stunning colours, and you can even personalise your case with custom initials.
American Tourister
American Tourister has been around for some 85 years, and its suitcases and luggage are regarded as some of the most safe and reliable. The Instagon is a new addition in the line-up that’s recognisable, durable and easy on the eyes. Right now, youĀ canĀ get 50% off Instagon luggageĀ with the discount code āINSTAGON50‘.
The Daily Edited
Your fave personalised leather goods label has a range of hard suitcases with TDE‘s signature monogramming. Choose your name or your initials, and customise your font and colour too. They’re simple and understated, available in only black and navy and starting from $299.95.
Away
US luggage label Away has been flying fashion-forward travellers in style since 2015. With a curated range of simple and cohesive suitcases in heaps of on-trend shades, soft bags for weekends, packing accessories, and luggage tags waiting to be personalised, you’ll have a field day shopping the edit in preparation for your next adventure.
Samonsite
Samsonite cases are near-indestructible, often designed with textured outer shells to disguise scratching and scuffs. The company has a focus on sustainability, with the newer cases featuring RECYCLEX, a fabric technology made from 100% post-consumer recycled PET bottles.
