Travel essentials best luggage

July Checked Plus 

Deciding if luggage is worth the splurge depends on your budget, what you need, and how often you travel. For me, buying a high quality luggage like July is important as I’m often travelling, and having a suitcase that’s both tough and good-looking makes the whole packing and unpacking experience a lot more fun. I know it might seem a bit pricey, but cheaper options usually mean you’re sacrificing quality, and who wants to keep buying a new luggage all the time?

This particular checked suitcase is crafted from 100% aerospace-grade German polycarbonate, which not only speaks to quality but also showcases a unique curved eggshell design. This innovative approach minimises damage and maximises functionality. To further enhance durability, anodized aluminium bumpers have been strategically added, providing extra protection for those accidental hard drops. So, if you’re looking for checked luggage to take on your next euro trip, like me, this suitcase is a great option.

travel essentials carry on luggage

Rimowa Carry On

Now, when talking about luxurious luggage, Rimowa always comes to my mind. This luggage defines luxury, and obviously, if you are travelling business class, this is the way to go. It not only has an elegant look; it also effortlessly glides, boasting customisable features that set it apart from other luggage in the market. The lifetime guarantee is something to consider when investing in a $2100 carry on. But does it live up to the hype? After testing this bag out on my recent trip, I’m pretty sure it will become my top choice luggage for international trips and even interconnecting flights… just throwing that out there.

Maison The Sabre The Flaire Messenger Bag

While travelling, I like to have a bag that provides hands-free and crossbody convenience. I love that this travel bag is crafted entirely from full-grain European leather. It boasts a sophisticated look and dedicated storage for laptops, phones, passports, chargers, documents, and even all my baby essentials!

Another thing I love about this bag is how it stands up straight all the time, making it practical and easy to use while you’re on the go. The secure magnetic full-length flap makes it very practical when you need to grab any item inside, and the adjustable webbing strap ensures comfortable all-day carriage, no matter how packed your schedule may be.
