What are the best luggage brands?

When travelling there are a million things to take care of; the passports, hotel reservation, tickets, the kids and vaccinations. With all this being on top of the priority list the last thing you want is baggage that keeps you restless because you know it won’t survive the countless handling at the busy airports. Bad luggage is like a broken heel on the dance floor; whereas good and strong bags are the best travel companion to have, because they give you peace of mind and keep your possessions safe and sound. Branded luggage also looks good and makes you feel good when carrying it about but which brand to choose?

First brand up is the priciest but the most reliable and stylish. Louis Vuitton is as practical as it is stunning and is designed to last vigorous travel. With space efficient interiors and sexy looks, these are definitely on top of the branded travel ware list. My personal favourite is Louis Vuitton’s pegase 45, a cabin sized rolling luggage bag made with Damier canvas. Its wheels are exceptionally quiet and have been tested to provide smooth, reliable movement, unlike other carry-ons with wheels that give trouble and have to be tugged along. 

Briggs and Riley also have some really great options at some very affordable prices. From wheeled carry-on’s to adventure travel ware to laptop cases, they have a lot of variety and dependable quality. Their Ultimate in their Carry on collection has some very eye catching colours and absolutely genius features. Their expansion system allows for 30 % more packing space, the smart design of the handle provides a flat packing surface and comes with a warranty that even protects against airline damage! Their adventure collection is just as great and available in many different styles.

Travel gear by Victorinox is also truly classy. With a really huge collection including trolley luggage, carry-ons, business cases, backpacks and duffle bags they have something for everyone. Durable, strong and spacious, Victorinox has incorporated smart features in the design that make packing fun and travelling hassle free. With 360 degree manoeuvrability, their carry-ons are as smooth as butter. They also have travel ware categories according to profession, where each bag is adapted to the needs of their customers. Their Tourbach series is really sleek and smart looking, a must see.

When choosing travel ware make sure you keep your travel needs in mind and choose something that will be durable and sturdy but light in weight. When selecting a carry- on make sure you know the limitations of your airlines and chose something with easily accessible pockets, so you can stash away medicines, basic toiletries and reading material at ease. There are many other incredible brands like Samsonite, John Lewis, Knomo, Carlton and Kenneth Cole, so browse around and you are sure to find what you need.Bottom of Form
