Over the weekend, I noticed that a particular sort of season had begun on my Facebook and Instagram feeds: friends had kicked off their spring travel, which will eventually lead into summer vacations, all of which will keep bright, slightly filtered photos of oceans and rum cocktails splayed across social media until early September. Before anyone can hit the beach, though, we’ve all got to pack our bags, and today, I’m here to make a tedious chore slightly less dreary.
We probably all have a couple old, beat up, black suitcases in our closets or under our beds, but it doesn’t have to be that way. Travel options have exploded in the past few years, and no matter whether you’re looking to spend a little or a lot, there’s luggage with style out there for you.
Below, we’ve found 20 awesome options for the most useful kind of travel bag: carry-on trolleys and weekenders. Don’t plan your next trip without one.

Every time I think about getting a nice (possibly designer) luggage/travel bag I remember the reality of airports and decide to just get whatever is cheapest and durable or stick to one I already have.
My thoughts exactly! I’ve been contemplating getting a cabin-sized LV Damier trolley bag or a Keepall. But the thought of putting my precious bag onto the grotty belts for the bag scans really puts me off.
Love love the Louis Vuitton!!!
These are all very pretty! Would be good for a carry on.
