When it comes to holiday planning, we all go through the same checklist.
You book your route, be it road, rail, air or sea. You need to make hotel reservations. You might even pre-organise a dinner or two (especially if you’re type A). But then, every time, you leave one of the most essential tasks to the last minute – packing.
If you haven’t got quality luggage to hand, packing becomes a whole lot harder. The right bag can make travel a breeze, but it depends on a few things. For a weekender, you might want a leather holdall. Heading a short trip abroad? Perhaps you’d prefer a carry-on case. Or for a two-week sojourn, it’s more likely you’ll need a lightweight hold case (ideally on wheels) which you can fill without exceeding the standard 23kg limit.
On top of needing a range of sizes to cater for every possible trip, you don’t want the same luggage as everyone else – how else will you distinguish it from the others at the luggage carousel?
The good news? There’s a whole host of lesser-known labels a cut above the basics of the luggage world.
These labels offer just about every handy feature you could dream of, from a briefcase which caters for a 36-hour stay by Lundi Paris to Floyd’s bright suitcases for the statement traveller, not to mention Carl Friedrik’s comprehensive range of check-in and carry-on designs and Arterton’s tailoring-friendly garment bags.
The best part? When you’re strolling through departures with your unique wheelie or waiting to spot your stand-out case on the luggage carousel, you’ll be the envy of the airport.
