baggage claim


Currently at 35,000 feet, on a flight back to LA, my old battered carry-on suitcase in the overhead bin, I'm thinking I need a upgrade, one that would in an ideal world involve a monogram and gorgeous leather trim, like the Globe Trotters, above. But since this suitcase is about as pricey as plane ticket to Timbucktu, I could also fly in style with these options, all owned/recommended by my frequent flying friends: Briggs & Riley (which is expandable), Rimowa (so light!), Samsonite (made with forever durable canvas), Tumi (my husband's go to) and Flight 001 (easy and practical).

I would love some monogramed travel luggage too, in particular this one from Anya Hindmarch. Love it.

So hard to get style plus light weight combined and still have enough space to STUFF in a lot off clothes. I like Lipault but it lacks that "jet-setter" flair. Tummy seems to check the most items off the list.

All great options, but spinning wheels make a bag for me!

These beautiful bags that we have proposed. Samsonite is the top for me. :)

I travel for work almost every week. I have been doing so for 13 years. It's hard to find a stylish bag that is both durable but light weight. My go to is Tumi. I just got this bag monogrammed. I love the gold trim and zip. http://www.tumi.com/p/international-expandable-4-wheeled-carry-on-022260D2http://www.tumi.com/p/international-expandable-4-wheeled-carry-on-022260D2
