Our editors are packing and unpacking on repeat. So, they know what makes a designer travel bag worthy of a high price-tag. Think: swiveling wheels, multiple compartments, durability, and warranty.
Then, there’s an argument for the fashion of it all. Sometimes, an expense can be justified by the sheer attitude that emits from a subtle designer print or understatedly luxe detail in the airport. It’s also no secret that Louis Vuitton complements loungewear and makes the experience going through airport security more enjoyable. So, whether you’re looking for style or stability, here are ten designer travel bags that are worth the expense.
