15 Designer Travel Bags for Your Next Getaway
"Hearst Magazines and Yahoo may earn commission or revenue on some items through these links."
The best designer travel bags aren’t limited to a gorgeous luggage set. For example: Consider: Oversize carryalls, ultra-spacious designer tote bags, and ample shoulder bags all have their place in a jet-set wardrobe. And they are all justifiable purchases. For the exotic long haul, you’ll need a versatile tote to sit atop your slim roller in addition to your checked suitcase (or two). Weekenders, duffels, and those seemingly bottomless totes are ideal for getaways spanning two to three nights. And for those quicker jaunts that may clock less than 24 hours? You can easily get away with a garment bag or one of your more spacious everyday bags, from top-handle silhouettes to backpacks and crossbody styles that allow you to move swiftly through terminals.
No matter your preferred silhouette, truly top-tier travel bags are rooted in high-quality materials and clever design. Durable fabrics from leather and suede to nylon and canvas are, of course, a prime consideration. But the thoughtful details are key, differentiating these styles from your everyday bags. Think: protective feet, reinforced handles and seams, and functional storage in the form of external and interior pockets and divided compartments.
Whether you’re choosing a gift for an avid traveler or shopping for yourself, these 15 designer travel bags are guaranteed to go the distance.
