Got travel plans lined up for the rest of the year? Now marks the perfect time to get ready for those upcoming getaways — and that includes making sure you’re properly prepared. When it comes to shopping for travel accessories at the high end of the market, there are some quality pieces that stand out and shine. Cutting-edge tech and design are just as important as making an elegant fashion statement — but most important of all is picking something that you can rely on to meet your needs. Whether you’re going on a week-long trip or just a quick vacation for a weekend, we’ve rounded up some of the fanciest, sleekest, and functional luggage that’s currently on the market. All you have to do now is choose your destination and go.
Rimowa x Dior
Where do we start with the Rimowa x Dior collab? We don’t advise that you check-in your suitcase, for obvious reasons (scratches, dents, etc). Go for the ‘Cabin’ edition, that way you can keep an eye out on it and all eyes will be on you as you stroll through the airport. The Dior and Rimowa Cabin in gradient blue sees the Dior Oblique design, a signature motif of the iconic House dating back to 1967.
Goyard
From being featured in songs, spotted on rappers and models, Goyard has longtime been a brand for the elite. If you didn’t know, the Parisian brand forgoes any advertising, e-commerce, and celebrity endorsement. By now, you will have seen the Goyard Saint Louis tote around town, but there’s a reason for that. The tote arrives in three sizes a PM (small), GM (large) and the XXL version. If you’re travelling for a longer period of time, the XXL version would be the one that we’d recommend. It features an extra-large-and-wide handle, a larger body, and a detachable pouch.
Louis Vuitton
If you’re looking to elevate your airport look, look no further, the Louis Vuitton Horizon Soft Rolling luggage will definitely help with that. Sporting the signature LV monogram, each suitcase is made with durable handles and zippers and there’s also a bevy of colours for you to choose from.
Globe-Trotter
Founded in 1897 by David Nelken, Globe-Trotter travel accessories offer the perfect vintage aesthetic without it feeling dated. Each piece is handmade in Hertfordshire, England and takes over 10 days to create, carrying on their long-standing tradition of hand-crafting together with using their original Victorian machinery. The Chelsea Garden – 26″ Trolley Case is built to withstand the wear and tear of the airport world. It’s equipped with sturdy wheels, secure locks, a handle, and a range of sizes for all your travel needs.
Fabbrica Pelletterie Milano
Made in Italy, the Fabbrica Pelletterie Milano ‘Bank S’ is crafted from sturdy ridged aluminum with a keyless TSA combination lock. The suitcase features an extendable topside handle, removable zipped mesh pouch and weighs approximately 7kg/ 15.4lbs. It won’t look like anything else you see rolling through the departures lounge.

Valextra
Valextra collaborated with Moncler Genius to create the Maxi Genius Boston. The unisex piece is extremely versatile, it can be carried by hand, on the shoulder or as a crossbody bag for a more informal look. The ultimate carrier for a short overnight getaway. The Maxi Genius Boston bag is available now at Valextra’s online site.
Montblanc
Adequately combining elegance and functionality, Montblanc’s German-built compact ‘#MY4810 Cabin Trolley’ suitcase is made from lightweight, high-performance polycarbonate that’s made to last frequent travels. Though it’s minimalist in its look, the wheeled carrying case is equipped with an extensive list of features like two spacious interior compartments for clothes and shoes, as well as zipped pockets for smaller essentials.
