01 Anne Klein, Jetsetter: This lovely set is trimmed in a luxurious crocodile texture, features a surprise interior lining, and is as lightweight as can be, making your travel much easier.
02 Steamline Luggage: A classic, vintage-style investment set to treasure always. Handcrafted and leather-bound, these pieces are surprisingly lightweight, finished with discreet [and therefore more long-lasting] wheels, and are very chic to display when not in use.
03 Hartmann, The Packcloth Collection: Designed in a vibrantly fun colour scheme, with this set, you may find yourself booking a tropical island destination; as affordable as it is lovely, this collection offers special details such as a durable exterior, in-line [& longer lasting] skate wheels, saddle-wrap closures on the handle which increase grip security, and much more.
