Unpopular opinion: The transportation is just as thrilling as the destination. Anyone with me? Yes? No?
Well it depends.
If you’re carrying a suitcase, a backpack, and a purse, and say the suitcase has a broken wheel and weighs 60 pounds, you’re probably reading that first sentence and shaking your head furiously. I get it, because I’ve done it.
But traveling in no way has to be like this. I recently purchased my first suitcase (instead of using my parents' age old hand-me-down), and boy has it upgraded my suaveness (is that a word?). Not only does it make my 50 pounds of items feel light as a feather, but I look stylish as hell with it.
So, to make your next trip as smooth (wheel quality is a key here), practical, and elegant as possible, I’ve rounded up the most top rated luggage options below, starting with my recent Muji purchase, and including some investment pieces to budget friendly options. If you’re the type of person to stress during travel, having a reliable suitcase eliminates one stress factor from your mind. So, I encourage you to browse through these products and get yourself a new travel companion!
Now, I think I’ve noticed that depending on what country you are in, the price of this suitcase changes dramatically. That being said, she is absolutely what a traveler’s dreams are made of. As stated before, no matter how heavy you fill this baby, she feels as light as a feather when you push her around the streets. She comes with a little button you can press down and when you do, the wheels lock. I never knew how handy-dandy this feature would be until I brought it onto a bus/train and could lock the suitcase in place.
You’ve seen them everywhere, which makes you question if it’s really that good or if they simply have a high marketing budget. Well, according to their near perfect 5 star rating, they live up to the hype. It comes with a USB port for you to charge your electronics on the go, and the lock is built into the suitcase already. (Believe it or not, I’ve had all my panties stolen out of my suitcase before, it happens).
Sleek, stylish, and sweet (and Away’s biggest competitor) is this brand called Monos. What I love about this option is the amount of colors it comes in. If you want to stray away from the typical black, beige, and silver colors, the baby blues and pinks that come with this brand might be what you are looking for. Not to mention nearly every review raves over its high quality!
I love this suitcase purely for the looks, and I am not ashamed of it. This one comes in a variety of color combo options as well, and it’s sustainable, has TSA approved locks, and a 5 year warranty - basically everything you want to hear when purchasing a suitcase.
Okay, take a look at this cool front pocket feature! Slip your laptop and travel notebooks into the front pocket for easy access. Typically I advise against putting your laptop into any kind of suitcase (my sister’s screen once cracked by doing this), but carrying it in your handbag can seriously weigh down your bag. This carry-on is the perfect solution. She is sleek and compact and fits all your essentials in a neat, organized manner.
