Given that airport travel can feel like an overwhelming chore, we’re always looking for new ways to elevate the experience. Whether it’s channeling our inner Rihanna by wearing silky Public Pajamas or treating ourselves to a fresh pair of comfy kicks, it’s all about those tiny touches that make traveling easier.
For only $130, Quince’s roomy polycarbonate shell carry-on has 360-degree spinner wheels, a sturdy aluminum telescopic trolley handle with soft rubber for comfort, interior compression panels, TSA-approved locks and a removable laundry bag. The capacity offers enough space for six to nine outfits, and there’s a 18-by-12.5-inch interior pocket for storage.
Available in a range of colorways — both core and seasonal — Quince’s signature suitcase is also offered in a smaller carry-on size and multiple checked-in varieties.
For the serious traveler with a little extra cash to spend, we suggest Tumi, more specifically Tumi’s Extended Trip collection, lugged by tastemakers including Rosie Huntington-Whiteley. We love the instantly iconic contoured shell and this washed yellow colorway (although it’s also available in black).
Ready for anything, this durable and expandable rolling suitcase’s design also incorporates recycled materials, making this both a sleek and sustainable choice. Tumi has a “worry-free” first-year warranty that covers damages during your first 12 months of ownership; from years two through five, it will repair manufacturing defects and normal wear and tear.
One of the best luggage brands with a lifetime guarantee, Away is known for revolutionizing the suitcase game with its affordable luxury travel essentials through a direct-to-consumer business model. We’re fans of the versatile Carry On, as seen with famous travelers including Lily James and Irina Shayk. Available in a plethora of great hues, this hard shell is Away’s signature style, but if luggage with a soft exterior is more your speed, be sure to check out Away’s first-ever Softside Luggage collection.
Launched by Shay Mitchell in 2018, Béis has since taken the travel world by storm. One favorite from the collection is this 21-inch carry-on, available in a range of glossy and matte colorways and boasting over 10,000 five-star reviews.
