The best luxury luggage to buy now
From Globe-Trotter's classic cases to the new school of considered carry-ons, these are the pieces you need for a seamless trip
It wasn’t too long ago when luggage largely fell into one of two distinct camps: purely functional and decidedly dreary, or supremely luxurious, if wildly impractical (if you’re lucky enough to own a Louis Vuitton trunk, you'll know they aren’t exactly made for stuffing into an overhead locker).
These days, however, the luxury luggage market is booming, with a host of new brands and old favourites delivering carry-on cases, luxe weekend bags and long-haul heroes that meld practical appeal with a refined aesthetic. Frequent travellers will love the new school of sleek, practical wheeled cases: Nere, already the number-one travel brand in Australia, crafts its vibrant designs with expandable sides, in-built locks and the smoothest silent wheels to ensure a seamless journey, while July’s Carry On Light, made from German polycarbonate, is the lightest suitcase in the world.
For something that feels as fun as it is functional, look to Crash Baggage’s pre-dented cases, or turn to Globe-Trotter for exquisite vintage-style luggage that pays homage to the golden age of travel. And for the ultimate investment? Meet Sterling Pacific: the brand taking craftsmanship to remarkable new heights.
Wherever you’re headed, we know just the thing.
