A quick Google search of the words travel and fashion would result in an endless web resource of tips and tutorials on “how to travel in style.” There are different variations of no-makeup makeup routines, chic lounge wear airport attires, to-pack lists that include face wipes, scarves, hands-free bags, comfy flats, and so on and so forth.
But stop thinking about all those altogether. What these tips and tutorials miss is that there’s one thing that really makes you stand out while traveling: a trusty luxe luggage. What you bring, how you pack them, and especially where you store them in is as much a reflection of your travel fashion style as your physical appearance is. Before getting to your destination, make sure everything in the process is as polished as your perfectly curated travel outfits.
Check out these 15 designer luggage that won’t only deliver your belongings in style, but make you stand out (in a good way) through the dreary security and immigration process in the airport at four in the morning.
