The 13 Best Luxury Luggage for Traveling in Style

Bring back the golden age of travel with these gorgeous designer suitcases and weekenders.

Every item on this page was chosen by a Town & Country editor. We may earn commission on some of the items you choose to buy.

A great suitcase should take you from point A to point B without hassle. But an exceptional suitcase should also be spacious, easily transportable, and designed to withstand the rigors of travel while protecting your possessions. That's where luxury luggage come into play.

Team T&C knows a thing or two about designer luggage (no surprise there), and the editors got together to curate a list of the most reliable options that are worth every penny. Whether you're looking for a durable carry-on , on the market for a checked bag for long European getaways, or in need of a weekender for short trips to the Hamptons, here are the best luxury luggage brands to shop for upcoming summer travels.

T&C Favorite

Carl friedrik the carry-on x.

Best Hardshell

Rimowa cabin twist.

Most Lightweight

Bric's bellagio 2.0 30" spinner trunk.

Best Customizable

Louis vuitton horizon 50.

Best Checked Luggage

Tumi 19 degree aluminum extended trip packing case.

Retro-Inspired

Steamline luggage the sweetheart.

Best Weekender

Ghurka cavalier i no. 96.

Best Duffle

T. anthony classic duffle.

Best Waterproof

Dior small diortravel suitcase.

Statement-Maker

Gucci gucci savoy medium trolley.

If it's good enough for Logan Roy & Co., it's certainly good enough for the rest of us. As fans of Succession already know, the members of TV's most dysfunctional billionaire clan are partial to subtle markers of extreme wealth—and Carl Friedrik is their choice luggage. And for good reason: understated, sleek, and a perfect way to transport all that Loro Piana cashmere.

T&C 's Leena Kim is also a fan and calls the suitcase an " excellent travel companion ." She writes, "It's quite lightweight, even for a (German-engineered) polycarbonate shell; the wheels have proved worthy of harsh urban terrain, like the cobblestoned streets of Rome; nearly an inch of expansion power means I can squeeze in a few more stuffed Paravel packing cubes ; and that front laptop pocket gives this model a serious edge over its competitors. But my favorite part? The butterfly TSA locks, especially for the way they close with a satisfying click."

One reviewer writes: "Makes travelling a breeze. Elegant and simple design, and the front pocket fits my laptop and two passports perfectly. Would absolutely recommend."

Material: Aluminum

Dimensions: 21.7" H x 15" W x 9.6" D

Weight: 9.5 lbs

Lightweight but built to last, Rimowa's aluminum suitcase is so coveted for good reason. But the 126-year-old German brand's mastery of the hardy metal happened by accident—in the 1930s, a fire destroyed most of the materials in Rimowa's factory. All that remained? Aluminum.

Kim is also fan of Rimowa's suitcases and calls its carry-on "perfect for long weekend summer trips, to really commit to the carry-on life, in all seasons."

Dimensions: 21.7" x 15.8" x 9.1"

Weight: 10lbs

Bric's Bellagio 2.0 30" Spinner Trunk

Lake Como-based Bric's has found famous fans in the likes of Amal Clooney and Kate Middleton. The Bellagio collection especially embodies all that is great about the 72-year-old brand: fine Italian craftsmanship, beautiful details, and throwback elegance.

One shopper on the internet says : "This carry-on suitcase is a game-changer!The polycarbonate shell is lightweight but tough. The multi-stage telescopic handle is comfortable to use, and the double deck compartments keep my stuff organized."

Material: Makrolon Polycarbonate

Dimensions: 21"W x 30"H x 11"D

Weight: 12lbs

As far as status symbol suitcases go, none can rival Louis Vuitton luggage—the 170-year-old brand has its roots in luxury trunks after all. This perennial classic can also be customized in a variety of ways, whether you want to add stripe details, change up the colors, or monogram with your initials.

Material: Canvas

Dimensions: 13.8" x 7.9"

Weight: 6.2lbs

Since its inception in 1975, Tumi has become practically synonymous for luxury travel goods. Its 19 Degree Aluminum case boats a durable aluminum construction with fluid-looking contours, two TSA integrated combination locks, telescoping handle system, and a massive interior compartment for 7+ days of outfits.

One shopper raves: "The 19 Degree Aluminum series is very classy, it looks great when checking in especially as a Million Miler Diamond Status on Delta, these luggage just sets you apart from the rest. I use my 19 degree Aluminum Extended Packing Case and my 19 Degree Carryon as a pair every time I travel internationally. I have peace of mind because this luggage series is very tough and protects my precious belongings on to my destination."

Dimensions: 30.5" x 20.5" x 11.0"

Weight: 16.1lbs

Since 2005, SteamLine has put a fresh, contemporary spin on timeless vintage silhouettes. Delightfully feminine and incredibly tough, this carry on features an elegant white and tan body that opens to a lush botanical print of foliage, flowers and birds.

Material: Printed Japanese Fibreboard/Leather

Dimensions: 20" x 14.5" x 6.5"

Weight: 8.8lbs

Ghurka founder Marley Hodgson was inspired by military campaign gear when launching his luggage brand in 1975. That pretty much ensures each piece, handcrafted by artisans, is of the highest quality and is meant to last forever, developing a lovely aged patina as time goes on.

One reviewer writes: "I gave this to my husband as a gift. He absolutely loved it. At first he wouldn’t use it for long trips because he was worried he would scuff it and it’s so beautiful. Now, however, he takes it everywhere because he can’t be without it. It’s a perfect size. It’s great for a short trip as a solo piece. It’s elegant and the leather is gorgeous, and the interior is phenomenal as well. I am very pleased. "

Material: Leather

Dimensions: 17.25" W x 10" H x 9" D

If Rimowa showcases the best of German luggage design and Globe-Trotter the best of England's, T. Anthony is quintessentially American: Chic in its simplicity of design, practical and durable, and a trusted travel staple for generations of moneyed elite, among them the Duke and Duchess of Windsor, the Reagans, Jackie Kennedy, and Marilyn Monroe. Spacious and lightweight, this duffle is understated luxury at its finest.

T&C 's Deputy Feature Director Adam Rathe is a fan.

Material: Nylon/Leather

Dimensions: 22” x 12” x 11”

Observe Dior's iconic Oblique jacquard pattern in a functional waterproof fabric that withstands any elements you may run into while on your adventures—the suitcase's relaxed shape emphasizes its all-purpose capability.

Material: Technical Jacquard

Dimensions: 13" L x 18.5" H x 5.5" W

Weight: 6lbs

A suitcase you'll have no trouble finding in baggage claim, this Gucci piece, featuring the luxury house's iconic double G insignia and red/green web, is constructed with durable canvas and comes with 360-degree wheels, retractable handles, and an exterior pocket that makes navigating through any airport a breeze.

Dimensions: 17.7" W x 25.2" H x 11.8" D

Weight: 14.2 lbs

Porsche Design Roadster 30" Expandable Spinner Luggage

Leave it to the manufacturer of some of the world's best high-performance sports cars to master an aerodynamic suitcase that is sleek, functional, durable, and, most importantly, super lightweight.

One shopper writes: "I bought this for my recent overseas travel across different countries. It performed perfectly in less than ideal circumstances. Baggage handlers do what they do, the roads and sidewalks with rocks and broken or nonexistent concrete didn't faze this luggage. Lightweight with expandable main compartment. Spinner wheels move smoothly and handles felt sturdy. "

Material: Polycarbonate

Dimensions: 20"W x 12"D x 30.5"T

Weight: 12.3lbs

FPM Bank Collection Spinner 68

All made in Italy, FPM Milano's suitcases are a modern take on vintage trunks. Thick aluminum shells guarantee your valuables will be protected—plus, each case is reinforced with two butterfly locks plus a TSA lock. The aesthetic details, on the other hand—stud embellishments, handles crafted in fine Italian leather—are a tasteful touch.

Dimensions: 17.75”W x 26”H x 10.5”D

Weight: 14.33 lbs

Globe Trotter Centenary Medium Check-In Luggage

British heritage luggage company Globe-Trotter was established in 1897, so it has had over 125 years to hone the most exquisitely crafted suitcase. Queen Elizabeth exclusively used Globe-Trotter luggage, and did so since her honeymoon in 1947, alongside many other members of the royal family. The brand's check-in luggage is made of luggage with refined buckle straps and features protective bumpers for extra protection.

Material: Vulcanised Fibreboard

Dimensions: 20.5" W x 29" H x 10.25" D

Weight: 9.3lbs

.css-1q42gf4{color:#030929;font-family:NewParis,NewParis-fallback,NewParis-roboto,NewParis-local,Georgia,Times,serif;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0.625rem;margin-top:1.875rem;}@media(max-width: 48rem){.css-1q42gf4{font-size:1.875rem;line-height:1.1;}}@media(max-width: 64rem){.css-1q42gf4{font-size:2.625rem;line-height:1.1;}}@media(min-width: 48rem){.css-1q42gf4{font-size:2.625rem;line-height:1.1;}}@media(min-width: 64rem){.css-1q42gf4{font-size:3.125rem;line-height:1.1;}}.css-1q42gf4 b,.css-1q42gf4 strong{font-family:inherit;font-weight:bold;}.css-1q42gf4 em,.css-1q42gf4 i{font-style:italic;font-family:inherit;} What to look for when buying luxury luggage

The best luxury suitcases are built to last, convenient to travel with, and designed with form and function in mind.

When shopping for designer luggage, look for options made with aluminum or polycarbonate or premium leather—these materials tend to be heavy duty and water-resistant.

It's what's on the inside that counts, too. A great luxury travel bag should feature an extra roomy main compartment, space-saving compression pads, interior zippers for additional storage.

Don't forget the functional details, either: Look for options reinforced with TSA locks for extra protection.

10 Designer Luggage Pieces That Are Worth the Investment

By Madison Roberts

For some travelers, designer luggage is an airport staple. Suitcases by the likes of Louis Vuitton, Gucci, and Steamline pepper first class lounges and are often the first to be dropped on the baggage claim belt. But which ones are the best to add to your collection? We've rounded up 10 of our favorite designer luggage pieces to fit every type of luxury traveler, whether you're looking for something neutral or a bag that stands out. Across the board, though, these bags are designed to last a lifetime, with quality materials like aluminum and Italian leather keeping them intact. Read on for our top designer luggage picks.

All products featured on Condé Nast Traveler are independently selected by our editors. However, when you buy something through our retail links, we may earn an affiliate commission.

Louis Vuitton Horizon 55

For decades, Louis Vuitton has been the choice designer luggage brand for many celebrities, from Jackie Kennedy to Rihanna . And even before that, the brand was an innovator in the luggage industry, making trunks stackable with the creation of the flat top back in the 1850s. While you can’t go wrong with any of Louis Vuitton’s classic pieces of luggage, the Horizon 55 is our favorite, as it pays homage to the original brown monogram branding, but adds functional details like four spinner wheels, a gold handle, a TSA-approved lock, and interior zip pockets and straps. 

Steamline Luggage The Starlet Carry-On

This chic black, cream, and gold suitcase gives us serious vintage vibes, but with the amenities of a modern piece of luggage, including a TSA-approved lock, silent-glide wheels, and a hanging travel organizer. Inside, the bag features a polka dot interior lining, while an included ripstop nylon cover will keep the outside safe from scratches in transit—though, honestly, this is the type of bag you’ll want on display. The collection has been known to sell out, so act quickly to get your hands on one. 

Off-White Arrow Motif Trolley

Emblazoned with two criss-crossed arrows and the phrase “For Travel” across the side, this all-black spinner suitcase is a must-have travel accessory for street-style devotees. Designed by Virgil Abloh , creative consultant for Kanye West and Louis Vuitton, the simple but unique design—from afar, it looks like a plain black suitcase; up close, you can see Virgil's details, like the gunmetal-tone hardware and raised logo—makes it the perfect staple for those who don’t like flashy and colorful luggage, but still want to make a statement with their carry-on. Inside, you'll find elastic compression straps, an important design element for overpackers.

Roam The Globetrotter Large Check-In

Completely customizable from its outer shell to the zipper color, Roam’s largest check-in size bag, The Globetrotter, provides a designer look at a more affordable price (the co-founders came from Tumi, where large bags hover closer to $1,000 apiece). Its large size makes it perfect for long, cross-country vacations; the lightweight (10.3 pounds), water-repellent spinner suitcase has plenty of interior space and zip pockets to store smaller items, or anything you want kept separate from the main compartment.

Tumi Extended Trip Packing Case

This hard shell aluminum spinner is roomy—11 inches deep and 20 inches wide—making it the perfect packing solution for lengthy trips or times when you want to pack in the same bag as your travel partner (and avoid two checked bag fees). It rolls straight and smooth, even when full, and comes in four neutral colors—blush, silver, matte black, and texture silver—all of which are designed to look like waves. It also has a free monogram option, as well as three interior zip pockets to help keep your clothing organized. 

MCM Visetos Weekender Bag

This durable leather weekender is printed in MCM’s classic logo design, and its dimensions mean it fits effortlessly into an airplane’s overhead storage (or into the back of your rental car). The duffel features two interior compartments for storage (one zippered, one slip) as well as an exterior trolley sleeve. Your hands will appreciate the soft leather grab handles and adjustable shoulder strap. 

Disney x Gucci Donald Duck large suitcase

Leave it to Gucci to create the chicest Disney suitcase we've seen yet. The suitcase starts with Gucci's signature look—a beige and ebony GG canvas, brown leather trim—then adds on whimsical swirls of teal, drawings of Donald Duck and his nephews (Huey, Dewey and Louie, as Disney fans may recall), starbursts, and rocket ships. It's practical, too, with protective metal feet on the bottom, a clasp closure, and interior elastic straps for securing all your belongings.

Globe-Trotter Paul Smith Carry-On

Queen Elizabeth II brought a Globe-Trotter suitcase on her 1947 countryside honeymoon to the Broadlands, and in 2000 she knighted designer Paul Smith for his contributions in fashion. So it was only right for the two royal-approved designers to create a suitcase collaboration of classic black trolley bags—this time with more modern pops of color on each corner. Of the three bags, the mid-size 20" case is the most useful: The luggage doesn’t have wheels, so it’s not ideal if you’re packing heavy items, but it's perfect for a weekend or road trip and will fit in most aircraft cabin overhead compartments. (For longer trips, check out the extra-deep size .)

Prada Saffiano Leather Trolley

This high-tech designer suitcase is built with Bluetooth technology that allows you to track your bag within a 141-foot range, so you won’t ever have to wonder if your luggage made its way onto the plane. Designed by a fashion powerhouse, the bag is made with Saffiano leather—a stain-resistant and water-repellent leather patented by Prada—and features Prada-logo lining on the interior. 

Bric's MyLife Expandable Spinner

This soft-sided checked suitcase is weather-proof and easy to clean, meaning you won’t have to worry about the soft dusty color getting scuffed up. Bric’s has specialized in Italian leather goods since 1952, and the handle, zipper, and logo are covered in quality Italian leather—touches you'll appreciate when pulling it off the luggage carousel. Inside, the case has a large mesh pocket and garment straps for organization, while the outside features a large exterior pocket for last-minute items.

What is the best suitcase to buy?

How we test the best suitcases

To guarantee that your travels pass without frustration, we’ve tested a number of suitcases from some of the best brands around. Our editors have picked out a selection of luggage options designed to cope with planes, trains and automobiles, assessing ease of use, packaging space, durability and any other features that might be useful, like materials, expandable storage options and colourways to make them easier to spot on the carousel.

What luggage brand is best?

We're glad you asked. We've got a dedicated guide on the best luggage brands you need to know about to smooth over any potential travel mishaps, but generally, there's plenty of choice when it comes to who you buy with. It’s safe to say though, that you can’t go wrong with established brands like Samsonite, Antler, Tripp, and more.

You'll all be fully aware of the most popular options like Samsonite and Rimowa ; titans of travel who are well-versed in what makes up a quality suitcase. These options will be perfect companions on your journeys, with bags, carry-ons and large trunks that can cope with weekend getaways, adventurous city breaks, and long-haul visits to the other side of the world. Here, bags can start on the affordable end of the scale, making it a great choice for cheap and cheerful luggage to get you through your immediate travel plans.

More rugged options like that of DB and Antler will scratch the wander-lust itch in you, with models to cope with more arduous journeys that stray away from the luxury of the Business Class lounge.

As for the the sartorial options, we'd recommend taking a look at Carl Friedrik , Globe Trotter and Tumi for suitcases that boast a stylish presence from the front door to the hotel bed. Granted, these will be much more costly, but consider them an investment piece. If you travel often and want to stay stylish throughout, you won't find many better options.

What size suitcase do I need?

As any frequent traveller knows, the golden rule is to always travel with the best carry-on luggage if you can. To avoid getting caught out by any exorbitant last-minute handling fees, check that any cabin case or spinner suitcase you want to store in an overhead locker is no longer than 55cm and is no bigger than the listed requirements on the airline’s website.

An easy way around this problem is to opt for a smaller expandable suitcase in the first place, with compression straps that can cram in as much as possible. Also, make sure your hand luggage doesn’t boast ridiculously large wheels or a massive handle, as it’ll have less chance of squeezing into those metal sizing frames that airlines are so fond of. Should you be in need of a large suitcase to check in, opt for something with a length upwards of 75cm and a capacity of around 70L, and look out for suitcases that are expandable for roomy storage, with bonus points for exterior pockets. Remember, however, that the larger the luggage, the weightier, so you could be better off opting for the lightest soft shell suitcase to keep kgs down.

An alternative to wheeled suitcases is to check out our guide on the best backpacks . You might think this is a less sartorial option and betrays your potentially breezy journey through the airport as you lug your gear over your shoulder, but there's plenty to appreciate about rucksacks generally. Often the choice for long-distance backpackers and journeyman travellers, the best travel backpacks can house a surprising amount of gear to be taken onto the plane, train or bus, with the freedom to tackle stairs or more adventurous modes of transportation than chunkier suitcases can cope with.

Of course, if you’re travelling within the UK (may we direct you to our guides to the best UK holiday cottages and hotels ), just make sure it’s the right size for your car and/or won’t take up too much space on a train.

Is hard or soft-sided luggage better?

While you’re of course welcome to your personal preference, unless your bag is being put in the overhead locker, stay clear of soft-sided suitcases to avoid damage to your possessions inside. Either way, ask to have your luggage marked as fragile and it will be one of the first to come off of the plane. Hard-shell suitcases tend to be the most durable and are the kind of luggage most pilots use for good reason. It also tends to be much more stylish, with luxury aluminium finishes offering an especially high-end look.

That said, your hard-sided suitcase is still likely to get chucked about a fair bit on its journey, so get a case that has separate compartments to make sure that you don’t smell like duty-free vodka for the entirety of your weekend away. You can keep things neat with the help of packing cubes, which brands such as Away offer in multipacks of various sizes ( set of six , £65).

What material should I look for in a suitcase?

Leather or waxed twill cotton are the usual suspects in the soft-shell area, thanks to their water-resistant capabilities and durability. Generally, you won’t be lugging around any bulky digital equipment, so you could choose to avoid the clunky protection of a polycarbonate shell suitcase, though the sleeker aluminium casing by brands such as Rimowa and Samsonite is increasingly appealing. Similarly, don’t buy a case that is going to look dirty and damaged after one flight – stay away from white or cream colours. If it’s a short trip and you’re not a heavy traveller, a duffel bag offers a convenient way to get around without the hangups of wheels, bulk or weight.

How much should I spend on a suitcase?

As with most travel essentials , the important thing here is that you do get what you pay for with a suitcase. Granted, airport security will gleefully break open your bag if they can’t access it easily, but durability is crucial in any luggage item.

So do the sensible thing and test all the TSA locks, zips and other appendages that could break before investing. Luggage that comes with a one-year warranty is also a huge boon, should some baggage handler chuck your case around as though it’s Thor’s hammer. This increased hardiness comes at a price, so if you’re after proper protection, anything more than £300 should be best placed to get you through your trip. Top picks will inevitably cost more, around the £500 mark, but if you’re after one of the best budget, options, £150 can get you from A-to-B comfortably.

As you should expect, designer-led options will easily shoot the cost beyond the £1,000 mark, radically elevating your sartorial travel reputation well into the luxurious. These exceptionally pricey models don't offer any more protection but will unlock the option to release a smug smile as you witness admiring glances through security.

Finally, if you’re a frequent flyer, think about the extras you actually want from a suitcase, such as easy-access front pockets, an extendable handle or wheels. An in-built phone charger is all very well, but most airplanes have a USB port embedded by your seating as standard…

Carl Freidrik x London Hackett Check-In Suitcase

Carl Friedrik

Hackett London

We like: Beautiful design | Luxurious interior and materials | Dual triple-pin TSA locks | Spinner wheels

We don’t like: So nice you'll be begging the plane packers to treat it gently | Leather accents can very easily get damaged | Not particularly large

• Type: Hard case
• Sizes: Large suitcase (113l)
• Best colourways: Navy / Hackett
• Max capacity: 69l
• Weight: 4.5kg

Regardless of whether you're soaking up the sun on the Monaco strip or heading to your regional hometown for the weekend, you won't find a more luxurious brand to travel with than Carl Friedrik. As if we thought the brand's preppy credentials couldn't get any more illustrious, the London-based company has now teamed up with retailer, Hackett, to build this beautiful suitcase as part of its new range.

A visually striking upgrade to the regular Check-In, this one features a deep navy facade with brown leather straps and handles, a delicious silk interior and whisper-quiet wheels that will happily get you from airport to hotel bedroom in style.

Paravel Aviator Grand Check-in Suitcase

We like: Sustainably sourced and carbon neutral | Beautiful range of colours | Range of sizes | Includes removable laundry bag

We don’t like: Reasonably heavy on its own | Middling luggage capacity

• Sizes: Carry-on (43.7l),Carry-on Plus (46.6l) and Checked Luggage (77l)
• Best colourways: Domino Black
• Max capacity: 77l
• Weight: 5.4kg

International travel inevitably has an impact on the environment, and there's no getting around that. Even “travelling green” won't relieve the burden on the planet, but if you can go some small way to paying back what you take by using sustainably sourced luggage, then at least you can give yourself some eco- Brownie Points. For this, we love Paravel and its planet-first luggage that's 100 per cent carbon neutral.

Our pick of the broad selection of excellent suitcases is the Aviator Grand Check-In, which is — according to the brand — the world's first fully carbon-neutral checked suitcase. Made from recycled polycarbonate, its a sturdy companion for your next trip. Be mindful, though, that while roomy, it's not quite as capacious as others on this list. If big trips are on your horizon, keep that in mind.

American Tourister Pulsonic Check-In Suitcase

American Tourister

We like: Bright and playful range of colours | Affordably priced | TSA approved 3-digit lock | Expandable

We don’t like: Soft-side cases may sacrifice protection of your gear

• Type: Soft case
• Sizes: Carry-on (43.5l),Carry-on Plus (64l) and Checked Luggage (122l)
• Best colourways: Stone Teal
• Max capacity: 122l
• Weight: 2.8kg

There's a lot of merit to soft-side suitcases, not least the fact that they're significantly lighter and usually cheaper than hard-shell versions. There's also something whimsically chic about fabric luggage in eye-catching colours making their way around the collections carousel.

American Tourister, a small side brand of Samsonite, is a purveyor of such luggage that's affordable, lightweight, looks great and performs exceptionally well slaloming through security. One of our favourites is the Pulsonic, which is an expandable case that can hold 122l worth of clothes in its largest version, or enough for two weeks of clothes.

Nere Stori 3-Piece

Nere Travel

We like: Affordably priced | Three-piece set for one price | Beautiful range of matching colourways | Self-repairing zippers

We don’t like: Reasonably heavy on their own

• Sizes: Carry-on (38/46l), Medium Carry-on (63/75l) and Large Chec-in (95/110l)
• Best colourways: Next Orchid Pink
• Max capacity: 110l
• Weight: 3.2/4/4.8kg

Why buy one suitcase when you can purchase a collection of three at an affordable price? Aussie luggage makers, Nere, offer this remarkably priced triple suite of carry-on, mid-sized and large check-in cases for £275, which might just be the best value for money on your next trip. The design stays consistent across the three bags, so those who spot you will know you truly care about sartorial matching, and all three have sturdy build qualities and a ten-year guarantee that will ensure a decade of stress-free travel.

A range of five fun colours are on offer (why not have fun with the Nest Orchid Pink?) and all three come with a TSA combination lock, spinner wheels and the option to expand for additional cramming if you need it…which you will inevitably will.

By Heidi Quill

Away The Trunk

We like: Hidden underside handle | Smaller Away bags designed to fit inside for easier storage | Includes a luggage tag and laundry bag

We don’t like: Unusually narrow and tall, which may take some getting used to | Fairly heavy

• Sizes: Trunk (107l)
• Best colourways: Sorbet Orange
• Max capacity: 107l

Admit it: you've always dreamed of living as Indiana Jones or a character in Harry Potter with a big trunk to carry your things. Away's The Trunk is the modern-day take on such cinematic travel cases, with a design that looks a little unusual but actually goes a long way to helping you pack more. It's taller and narrower than many other suitcases we've tested, though that means that it offers a decent 107l of space that's more than enough for up to 21 outfits and can even store the Away Carry-On or Bigger Carry-On inside for better storage once your travels are over.

It's a superbly built suitcase, with a sturdy polycarbonate shell, interior compressions straps and a handy underside grip handle that makes it easier to lift the case horizontally. We love that Away chucks in a laundry bag and luggage tag as part of the package too, giving you a full upgrade to your luggage before you head off to new horizons.

Nere Caype Large Suitcase

We like: Affordably priced | Expandable | 10-year warranty | Built-in TSA combination lock

We don’t like: As nice as they are, only two colours available

• Best colourways: Rose Gold
• Max capacity: 113l
• Weight: 4.8kg

An alternative Nere option to the three-piece set found elsewhere on this list, the Caype range is a decidedly more flashy set thanks to the reflective, rose gold colourway, but just as robust and ready to travel as anything else you'll find from the brand.

Two options are available at an affordable price, this one at £129 or the slightly smaller medium version for even less. If you're feeling extra, you can get this collection in a three-pack as well, which will set you back £275 in total. As for features, you'll enjoy an expandable suitcase complete with spinner wheels, an adjustable handle that can hit two different lengths and a three-pin combo lock approved by TSA.

Tumi Short Trip Packing Case

We like: Huge range of luggage options | Exceptionally luxurious, high-end design | Several storage shelves for packing

We don’t like: Very expensive

• Sizes: Carry-on (35L), short trip (55L) and world-wide trip (122L)
• Best colourways: Silver or Matte Black
• Max capacity: 122L
• Weight: 6.2KG

Easily some of the most sought-after suitcases (at least in the GQ office) come from Tumi, which creates durable, ultra-luxe sets of bags, cases and luggage. Seriously, just look at this thing! If it doesn't catch the eye of every globe-trotter in your lounge, then we don't think you associate with people of taste.

And below that gorgeous outer shell, there's a whole host of useful packing features to guarantee a smooth journey. The top-tier option has packing shelves that dissect the interior for more organised storage but bags are cavernous across the range, so you'll find plenty of space to pack suits, shoes and all your swim shorts without fretting. The locks are, of course, TSA-approved, and its high-price tag presents an air of confidence that this is a truly quality product.

Antler Prestwick Large

We like: Water resistant materials | Surprisingly robust

We don’t like: Pricey

• Type: Soft shell
• Sizes:  Cabin, medium, large and luggage set
• Best colourways: Nav
• Weight: 3.2KG

If it’s a first-class case to take you into the lounge, then Antler’s Prestwick set offers a suitable amount of sophistication alongside its hardiness. The lightweight softshell is water-resistant, and robust and looks properly good as you glide out of customs. Storage is decent, though we’d perhaps like a little more at this price. And, as with all Antler options, it comes with a lifetime warranty, serving you well for your 25th trip to the Costa Del Sol.

Carl Friedrik The Check-In

We like: Can be matched as a set with The Carry-On | Spacious | Hard-shelled four-wheeled suitcase

We don’t like: Very expensive | Not a good option for vegan travellers

• Type: Hard shell
• Sizes:  Large and standard
• Best colourways: Cognac would be our pick but it also comes in a special edition Alpha Tauri collection
• Max capacity: 65.8L
• Weight: 4.5KG

In our opinion, you can’t go wrong with a lovely bit of Italian leather to level up your luggage game. Carl Friedrik’s Check-in series is a luxurious case designed for travelling in style. It’s not the most spacious or largest on our list, but it’s big enough for a week’s worth of clothes and has a strap to properly clamp things down inside. The silent spinner wheels are the gold standard of transportation, though it does come with the deluxe price tag.

Samsonite Upscape

We like: Five-year guarantee | Eye-catching design | Huge capacity

We don’t like: Combination lock is hard to reach

• Sizes:  Large only
• Best colourways: Climbing Ivy is a gorgeous colour to see rolling around the carousel
• Max capacity: 83L
• Weight: 2.16KG

Any traveller worth their salt will have heard of Samsonite’s jet-setting pedigree and we think the Upscape set is well worth considering if you’re looking to upgrade your luggage. The hard-shell case comes in four dazzling colours that are heavily accentuated by the ripple-effect design that protects it from dents and bumps. There’s plenty of space for a two-week holiday and the shock-absorbing wheels go a long way to dealing with any bumps on the road.

Carl Friedrik All Black Edition

We like: Beautiful design | Front pocket for laptop storage | TSA-approved lock | Removable compression pad and straps

We don’t like: Very expensive | Shell is easy to scratch

• Sizes: Carry-on (40L), carry-on Pro (43L), Check-in (65.8L) and Large Check-In (90L) (122L)
• Best colourways: Black on black
• Max capacity: 43L
• Weight: 4.3KG

We adore Carl Friedrik's heavyweight travel pedigree that's been accumulated over the last few years, featuring in ultra-luxe shows such as Succession and White Lotus . However, for the ultimate stealth wealth flex, the all-black edition of the set – from smaller carry-on up to large check-in – is our top pick.

This particular set of luggage is forever ready for an adventure, with TSA-approved locks, a charging port to keep your phone topped up and a front compartment to store pens, passports and even a laptop for easy removal when you get to security. Whisper-quiet wheels will see you glide through the terminal, appreciating the admiring glances of those who notice true quality in your luggage.

Db Ramverk Pro Carry-on Silver

We like: Great accessibility | Rugged aluminium frame | TSA-approved locks

We don’t like: Fairly heavy across the range | Not the largest set of cases

• Sizes: Carry-on (36L), check-in medium (67L) and check-in large (87L)
• Best colourways: Black Out and Silver
• Max capacity: Up to 87L
• Weight: 5.3KG

Travelling isn't always smooth, but so long as you're equipped with a quality suitcase you can tackle almost any mishap that may befall your journey. This is especially true when you're armed with a proper rugged case like the Ramverk Pro from DB. Built to last and sustainably produced, the aluminium frame combines with a polycarbonate shell that's both lightweight and sturdy, protecting your summer outfits while still giving the globe-trotting aesthetics that are most sought-after by travellers.

For storage, there are plenty of options to cope with a short weekend getaway to a two-week jaunt across the world, with a number of internal pockets to store laptops and vital documents. Dual TSA-approved locks assure you can travel at ease, knowing your luggage is safe, secure and well looked after.

TUMI McLaren Aero International Expandable 4 Wheel Carry-On

We like: Desirable collaboration | Removable suit carrier | USB charging port

We don’t like: Expensive | Garish colour scheme

• Type: Tarpaulin soft-shell
• Sizes: Cabin (40L), 30-inch (80L) and 36-inch (155L)
• Best colourways: Neon yellow
• Max capacity: 80L
• Weight: 5.1KG

It comes as no surprise to see that Tumi's special McLaren edition suitcase is forged from premium materials, including durable carbon fibre, and a moulded front panel made from Tegris — an advanced composite material made from polypropylene tape woven into fabric and exposed to heat and pressure to form rigid sheets. Engineering tricks aside, it's a handy bit of kit too, with features like a removable suit/garment holder coming in particularly handy for business trips. Incredibly expensive, but a tantalising luxury option for those looking to splurge.

What we love about this one is that it comes with a USB port for charging your phone on the go. Something that's drastically underappreciated as you careen around the airport quicker than Lewis Hamilton at the end of the season.

Globe Trotter Centenary

Matches Fashion

Globe Trotter

We like: Beautiful design | Capacious storage | Huge range of colour options

We don’t like: Material is very easy to damage and scuff | Pricey

• Sizes: Carry-on (40L), medium check-in (55L), large check-in and XL Trunk (122L)
• Best colourways: Marmalade Orange
• Max capacity: 40L
• Weight: 4.2KG

It's giving Paddington Bear. It's giving early 20th century explorer. It's a gorgeous travelling trunk that's sure to turn heads across the globe. Globe Trotter's range is among our most sought-after cases simply because it's such a sophisticated set of luggage on the airport conveyor belt.

This particular case from the Centenary range is a perfect companion for that upcoming late-summer trip, with a huge cavern for storage, a sturdy chassis and beautiful vulcanised fibreboard with leather accents and a luxurious polished brass clasps to complete the sartorial gravitas you're likely hunting for.

Amazon Basics 3-Piece Luggage Set

We like: Affordable price range | Study design | Prime next-day delivery available

We don’t like: Not the most luxurious set

• Max capacity: 81.4L

The great thing about picking up luggage from Amazon's own-brand range of products is that there's an immensely affordable selection of bags, suitcases and luggage to keep costs down as you jet-set off on your hols. This three-piece range is the complete set, ready and waiting to cope with a two-week trip to some sunny nation, protecting all your gear and gliding through security with the 360-wheels.

And look, there's not a huge amount of luxury to be found here, it's ostensibly an affordable entry to travel, but if you're penny-pinching, you can grab this set on your Amazon Prime account and get free next-day deliveries, and if you're careful and plan ahead, there's more than likely a decent Prime Day deal to be found online to make it even cheaper.

Antler Stamford large

We like: Pastel colourways | Lifetime warranty | Huge storage capacity

We don’t like: Pricey | Works best in a complete set

• Best colourways: Khaki
• Max capacity: 152L
• Weight: 5.12KG

While Antler’s Stamford set is best bought as a luggage set so you can colour match, if you can get past the high price tag they are some of the best suitcases around. With whisper-quiet, rotating wheels, a lightweight polycarbonate shell and enough space to pack your entire wardrobe, this is a traveller’s best friend. Suave, lightweight and ready for the long haul.

Rimowa Essential

We like: Ultra-luxe glossy design | Very sturdy

We don’t like: One of the most expensive options | Easily stained and marked

• Sizes:  small cabin to large check-in and trunks
• Best colourways: White and Azure Blue gloss
• Max capacity: 44L

The latest colourway in Rimowa’s hyped line of luxe spinner luggage, this supersized check-in suitcase is full of stand-out style. Does its white gloss shell defy conventional luggage wisdom? Maybe. Will it look the part in every one of your vacay snaps? Absolutely. More than just a picturesque partner for bright skies and sparkling blue sea, its practical polycarbonate outer resists scuffs and stains as well as being easily identifiable in the baggage claim queue. Inside, there’s plenty order, thanks to zippered dividers with adjustable compression straps.

Amazon Basics “Hardside”

We like: Affordable | Quick delivery

We don’t like: Not the most durable

• Sizes: 20-inch, 24-inch and 28-inch
• Best colourways: Black and navy
• Max capacity: 39L
• Weight: 3.3KG

Travelling this week but haven't got a case to hastily bundle your wardrobe into? Amazon to the rescue. Available with the e-tailer's next-day Prime delivery, these cost-effective cases in cabin-size, medium and large have all trips covered, no matter how last-minute you've left the packing. The fact that they're spacious, durable and super lightweight doesn't hurt, either.

Antler Clifton

We like: A best-seller | Spacious | Storage space for a 15.6” laptop

We don’t like: Only one colour option

• Sizes:  Cabin only
• Best colourways: Matte black
• Max capacity: 38L

For the man who works from anywhere, Antler’s Clifton Cabin suitcase is just as functional as it is chic. You won’t ever find yourself rummaging through socks and boxers at security, because its front compartment is cut with pockets designated for your tech. Easily unzipped for the liquids and laptops check, it securely stashes tablets, headphones and laptops of up to 15 inches within a protective padded sleeve. All encased in a matte-black hardshell that manoeuvres like a dream, thanks to multidirectional wheels and an ergonomically designed twist-grip handle.

Eastpak Tranverz

We like: Huge storage capacity | Affordable

We don’t like: Massive | Not the most eye-catching colourways

• Type: Nylon/polyester soft shell
• Sizes: S, M, L
• Best colourways: Kontrast Lime Pilot
• Max capacity: 121L
• Weight: 3.7KG

For adventure-based travels such as ski or cycle holidays, Eastpak’s cavernous Tranverz suitcase reigns supreme. What this suitcase lacks in the ultra-slickness of aluminium-framed Amex lounge-ready luggage, it more than makes up for with the seemingly endless pit of storage space in its double-decker internal compartments. Not only is it perfect for stowing any means of specialist kit, but when you’re not on the road, it’ll double as a convenient vessel for your out-of-season wardrobe. Be warned though, while you can set yourself apart with a striking colourway, the much-praised practicality of the Eastpak Tranverz means you'd be wise to go the extra step with a personalised luggage tag .

Brunello Cucinelli Leather carry on

We like: Supremely handsome design | Telescopic handle and rotating wheels | Ultra-luxe

We don’t like: Ultra expensive | Only one size

• Type: Leather
• Best colourways: medium brown and mahogany brown
• Max capacity: N/A
• Weight: N/A

A handsome softshell with elegant appeal, designed in Italy for a lifetime of short-stay travels. Elevated by Brunello Cucinelli’s commitment to excellent craftmanship, this leather carry-on is the kind that looks better with age (think rich, tonal patina with a vintage charm) and will signal your fine taste in the first-class lounge. Lined with classic belt straps and gold debossed branded details, it stows your belongings in the utmost style, plus compresses down for easy storage in the overhead locker. A set of 360 wheels and a retractable handle add a contemporary utility to a timeless style you’ll treasure on many a business trip.

Beis Check-In Roller

Beis Travel

We like: Stain-resistant | Weight-indicator included | Expandable

We don’t like: Quite heavy

• Type: Polycarbonate hard shell
• Sizes:  26 and 29-inch
• Best colourways: Brown, Black
• Max capacity: 112L

Is there anything worse than waiting with crossed fingers and bated breath at the check-in only to be hit with an overweight fee? Coming in clutch with clever self-weighing suitcases, Beis makes such blunders a thing of the past. Once you’ve filled the cavernous compartments of this expandable hardshell with your shirts,  shorts and souvenirs for all the family, the scale on its top handle will indicate any overpacking. As if that wasn’t enough, it’s sewn with waterproof pouch pockets for your toiletries and compression clasps to ensure your possessions stay put, plus a hands-free bag hook for your duty-free shop. Max storage and max functionality – big yes.

Horizn Studios H6 suitcase

We like: Lightweight | Vegan-approved | Comes with a premium laundry bag

We don’t like: Fairly bland design

• Sizes: H5 (35L), H6 (65L) and H7 (90L)
• Best colourways: Marine green, true red and dark olive
• Max capacity: 65L
• Weight: 3.9KG

German smart-luggage brand Horizn Studios constructs its cases from aerospace-grade polycarbonate for (inter)stellar durability. But that's just the beginning. Its H5, H6 and H7 suitcases span the check-in friendly to the excuse me while I move overseas. Fitted with compression pads to maximise volume, its 360-degree spinner wheels are engineered in Japan, it has an in-built smart charger to keep your devices running during delays and it comes with a premium laundry bag to keep things organised on the other side. And if you're used to travelling a lot for work, the M5 boasts all the same features as the cabin variety, but with the addition of an exterior laptop and document sleeve.

Rimowa Classic

We like: Decent storage | Telescopic handle | Eye-catching, sturdy design

We don’t like: Very expensive | Heavy

• Type: Aluminium hard shell
• Sizes: Cabin S, Cabin, Check-in M, Check-in L, Trunk
• Best colourways: Silver and navy
• Max capacity: 72L
• Weight: 5.7KG

120-year-old German manufacturer, Rimowa, was bought in 2016 by the brand-hungry LVMH and has since been given some hype CPR. Collaborations with Supreme, Dior and Off-White have turned fashionistas' heads, but it is the brand’s iconic aluminium flagship that will continue to impress long into the future. A suitcase built for a lifetime of use with a strong aluminium alloy shell, not only would be difficult to destroy even if you tried, it's also about as good-looking as luggage gets.

We like: Bright colour range | Can add a built-in USB-Charger as an optional extra

We don’t like: Only enough for a seven-day trip | Small storage

• Sizes: Carry-on, bigger carry-on, medium, expandable medium and large
• Best colourways: White, navy, aluminium-edition silver and aluminium-edition rose gold
• Max capacity: 47.9L
• Weight: 3.4KG

Away’s range of suitcases really does have something for everyone, whether you’re a light packer who travels with the bare minimum or someone who prefers to cram in far too many outfits “just in case”. Suitable for anyone in the middle is Away’s Bigger Carry-On suitcase, which is compact enough to fit in an overhead bin but also has plenty of room for everything you need and more. The case is fitted with a laundry bag, interior compression system and has a durable shell and 360-degree wheels that make any connections easier than ever. And if your battery always seems to run out mid-journey, Away's suitcases also come with the option of a removable battery that can hold four phone charges.

American Tourister “Soundbox”

We like: Funky design | Eye-catching colourways

We don’t like: Cheap materials

• Sizes: 55cm, 67cm and 77cm
• Best colourways: Black, yellow and magenta
• Max capacity: up to 110L

American Tourister was the brains behind one of the world's first-ever moulded suitcases. Continuing what it started, the luggage brand has come a long way since then, applying the technique to its Soundbox suitcase with a dynamic swirling pattern that gives it a half-and-half matte/gloss finish. The polypropylene it's made from is both lightweight and hard-wearing – a winning combination when it comes to suitcases – plus the shell of its smallest 55cm model can be expanded while still fitting airlines' increasingly stingy cabin-sized criteria.

Briggs & Riley Baseline

Briggs & Riley

We like: Expandable capacity | Built-in clothes folder | Durable | Lightweight

We don’t like: Low storage capacity overall

• Type: Nylon soft-shell
• Sizes: Carry-on, Medium, Large Expandable, Extra Large
• Best colourways: Khaki Green
• Max capacity: 49
• Weight: 3.1KG

An American travel icon, Briggs & Riley debuted its all-new Baseline range in April '22 as a reimagined version of its flagship line. Alongside carry-on and checked luggage are totes, duffles, garment bags and toiletry kits for any travel need imaginable, but the stand-out piece has got to be the Essential Carry-On. Not only will it stow 30 per cent more than your average overhead luggage bin bag, thanks to one-touch CX compression expansion, but its tri-fold garment holder will neatly hold two suits without wrinkling and premium panels envelop clothing to reduce creasing, making it perfect for destination weddings. Available in three suave colourways, this kind of luggage is too good not to opt-in for the complimentary monogramming service.

Aerolite Super Lightweight ABS

We like: Stunning colourways | Ultra-durable | Affordable

We don’t like: Not particularly big

• Sizes: Cabin (34L), Medium (82L) and Large (127L)
• Best colourways: Wine
• Max capacity: 34L
• Weight: 2.6KG

Aerolite utilises a super-durable ABS hardshell to build suitcases that are made to last. The material is both strong and scratch-resistant, meaning it won't lose its lustre after the first trip you take it on, while a modest weight of 2.6kg for its cabin-friendly size means you'll pack plenty in it before coming close to your weight limit. Inside, handy storage solutions like a zipped divider and zipped mesh storage pocket make it a dream to pack for those who like to keep things organised on their holidays, while smooth, chunky exterior zippers make it all the easier to secure when you're nearing capacity. Aerolite's cases are also extremely easy to control thanks to four 360-degree spinner wheels and a double-tube retractable handle.

Travelpro Maxlite Air

We like: Very durable | Eco-friendly

We don’t like: Quite dinky | Expensive for the size

• Type: Lightweight polycarbonate
• Sizes: 55cm - 78cm
• Best colourways: Ensign Blue

At only 2.6kg as a carry-on, Travelpro had every right to name this suitcase as it did. Crucially, though, the brand manages this feat without compromising any durability, engineered to flex on impact to keep safe from cracks, splits and punctures in transit. As an added bonus, for anyone conscious of the impact their wanderlust has on the planet, the lining inside is made entirely from post-consumer recycled plastic bottles, which should give you an extra eco-friendly spring in your step as you disembark on the other side.

These high-end bags excel in both form and function.

• Why Trust T+L

Travel + Leisure / Leticia Almeida

Nice luggage can make your traveling experience more efficient and enjoyable. For those who want their baggage to be not only well-made with useful features but also stylish enough that onlookers can't help but notice, luxury models are where it's at.

If you're willing to pay a premium for the best of the best luggage, you've come to the right place. Our Travel + Leisure team has tested more than 450 pieces of luggage both in our testing lab and at home, and these high-end options stood up to our packing, rolling, lifting, and bat-hitting — plus, look great, too. Check out our list of the best luxury luggage pieces that are worth the investment.

Best Overall

Paravel aviator carry-on plus.

• Capacity 5 /5
• Design 5 /5
• Maneuverability 5 /5
• Durability 4.5 /5

This carry-on is sturdy, stylish, and easy to maneuver, with various organizational features travelers will love.

There's no expander, but it's on the larger side for a carry-on.

Our top luxe suitcase is the Paravel Aviator Carry-on Plus. After testing it, we loved this luggage’s high capacity and organizational features that make it easy to pack. It doesn't expand, but it's already on the larger side for a carry-on. And, thanks to the dual-zippered compartments and compression pad, we could fit everything on our packing list without a fuss. There's also a removable bag for separating laundry or dirty shoes.

The sturdy polycarbonate shell comes in five tasteful colorways. While it sustained a few scuffs when we threw it off countertops and hit it with baseball bats, this likely won't be as much of an issue with one of the darker colors. Overall, the durable design seems like it'll last a long time — and Paravel backs it with a 10-year warranty. The Aviator was very easy to maneuver, and the high-quality spinner wheels rolled like a dream.

While Paravel luggage is pricier than average, it's among the most affordable in the luxury category. But there's more to love about the brand beyond stylish, smooth-rolling suitcases. All carriers are ethically produced by fairly paid workers in safe conditions. Not only that, but Paravel strives to offset its carbon emissions by incorporating recycled and eco-certified materials into its designs, too.

Best Carry-on

Bric's bellagio v2.0 carry-on spinner trunk.

Saks Fifth Avenue

• Capacity 4 /5
• Maneuverability 4.5 /5
• Durability 5 /5

Flaunting an elegant design with premium craftsmanship, this durable yet lightweight carry-on rolls easily on its spinner wheels.

The suitcase is not expandable.

Bric's high-end luggage is an investment, but it looks and performs as you'd expect for its price. The brand's Bellagio V2.0 Spinner Trunk checks all the boxes, offering reliable durability and effortless maneuverability without sacrificing style. Though it's not expandable, it has lots of internal compartments and pockets for packing and organizing all the essentials. We also found it easy to close with the high-quality zippers.

At just over seven pounds, this carry-on is a breeze to lift overhead. It sustained zero dents from our bat swings and didn't scratch when we pushed it off a table. Just a heads up: the wheels roll smoothly and turn easily, but the handle sometimes gets stuck when you pull it out. Bric's is a family-owned luggage brand dedicated to elegant bags with premium craftsmanship — and it shows. The quality speaks for itself, so if it's within your budget, there's no reason not to get this suitcase.

The Details: 22 x 15 x 8 inches | 40 liters | 7.1 pounds | 4 spinner wheels

Best Checked

Briggs & riley sympatico large spinner.

• Design 4 /5
• Maneuverability 4 /5

This sizable suitcase fits a week's worth of belongings without using the expander, and the durable exterior stands up to dents, scratches, and scuffs.

There are no exterior pockets, and the locking zippers can make it harder to close.

If you're in the market for a checked bag , we highly recommend the Briggs & Riley Sympatico Expandable Spinner. This sizable suitcase can easily hold a week's worth of clothes, plus multiple pairs of shoes and outerwear options — and that's before using the expander, which adds another two inches of space. There are two interior compartments: one that zips closed and one with adjustable compression straps. It would be nice to have at least one exterior pocket, but there's a built-in card slot, which helps with identification at baggage claim.

The exterior zippers worked pretty well, but since they're lockable, getting them to line up when closing it can be tricky. This suitcase performed remarkably well in our durability tests, sustaining no noticeable scratches, dents, or scuffs. It also rolled smoothly on the four spinner wheels, taking bumps and sharp corners like a champ — though pushing it over carpet takes a little extra effort.

The Details: 30 x 20 x 12 inches | 110.1-137.7 liters | 13.6 pounds | 4 spinner wheels

Most Durable

Delsey chatelet air 2.0 21-inch spinner.

• Organization 5 /5

The Chatelet Air 2.0 has a stunning vintage appeal and stands up remarkably well to wear and tear.

Since it's not expandable, the compact design is best for shorter trips.

If you don't want to sacrifice durability for style, Delsey's Chatelet Air 2.0 might be your best bet. Inspired by Parisian architecture with distinct lines, contrast stitching, and a retro appeal, this suitcase is a stunner. Aesthetics aside, it's incredibly functional. There's a zippered compartment on one side and compression straps on the other, as well as various pockets and even a handy USB port.

We like the smooth zippers and easy-to-maneuver design. The spinner wheels move effortlessly on hard flooring, carpet, and even stone pavers. This suitcase is resilient, too. There was no visible damage after we hit it with a bat and shoved it off a table. We tested the angora (off-white) shade and, while light-colored suitcases are often prone to scuffing, this one showed no marks after being tossed around. The Chatelet Air 2.0 is a standard carry-on size, so we could fit all the essentials on our four-day packing list, but the compact design is best for shorter trips since it doesn't expand.

The Details: 22 x 15 x 10 inches | 44 liters | 8 pounds | Smart | 4 dual spinner wheels

Best Rolling Duffel

Tumi large split 2-wheeled duffel.

• Portability 5 /5
• Value 4.5 /5
• Durability 4 /5

This top-of-the-line duffel has ample organizational features and an incredibly durable ballistic nylon exterior.

The exterior easily collects dirt and dust.

If you prefer a duffel but want a top-of-the-line design, check out the Tumi Large Split 2-Wheeled Duffel. It's extremely spacious — we were able to fit a week's worth of clothes and essentials with room to spare. With so many compartments and pockets, plus a zipper divider and compression straps, packing it up was actually an enjoyable experience.

This duffel bag has two recessed wheels that roll smoothly over all surfaces. It also survived our bat-hitting and drop tests without any noticeable damage. While the ballistic nylon lives up to its abrasion-proof claims, it collects dirt and dust pretty easily. (You can wipe it down with a damp cloth as needed.) The price is high, but it's backed by a five-year warranty and will likely last much longer. If you can swing it and are looking for a durable, large-capacity bag, you really can't go wrong.

The Details: 30.5 x 14 x 16 inches | 98 liters | 11 pounds | Smart | 2 recessed wheels

Travelpro x Travel + Leisure Large Check-In Trunk Spinner

• Design 4.8 /5

There’s basically nothing you can’t fit in this giant suitcase.

It’s 12 pounds when empty, so be prepared to pay overweight baggage fees pretty much every time.

This stylish trunk is enormous — in fact, one of our team members affectionately referred to it as an “apartment” rather than a bag during testing. Boasting 97 liters of space, this suitcase is perfect for extended trips or hauling gear around the world. Despite this, it still fits check-in size restrictions for most domestic airlines. The trunk is also extremely durable thanks to a polycarbonate hardshell, zinc corner protectors, and other high-quality materials that keep your items in place and dry. 

As we tested out the trunk for ourselves, we noticed that rather than featuring the 30/70 clamshell design most luggage of this size has, the Check-in Trunk Spinner was closer to a 50/50 design, which is helpful for keeping the weight evenly distributed, and we were able to fit several day’s worth of clothing on each side. The wheels rolled super smoothly, we found the trunk extremely easy to wheel along despite its size, and all interior zippers also ran without catching or snagging. Our only issue was with the security strap inside, which was slightly difficult to adjust. 

The Details: 30 x 17 x 14 inches | 97 liters | 12.6 pounds | 4 spinner wheels

Best Aluminum

Rimowa original cabin.

• Capacity 4.5 /5

Backed by a lifetime guarantee, this sleek, futuristic suitcase has an impressive capacity, smooth-rolling wheels, and a durable aluminum exterior.

It doesn't expand, and the exterior is prone to scuffing.

If you're open to spending a bit more on luxury luggage, the Rimowa Original Cabin is a stellar choice. Though it's not expandable, this suitcase has a solid capacity while still meeting carry-on size requirements for most airlines. We used it for a four-day trip and easily fit several outfits and multiple pairs of shoes inside. An interior zippered compartment would be nice, but we like how the dividers help keep everything in place.

Our favorite thing about the Original Cabin is its sleek, futuristic design. But, despite the high-end appearance, you could probably drop it out of a second-story window without worrying about damage, and any natural scuffs and scrapes are a badge of honor for frequent travelers. Thanks to the smooth wheels, we had no problem rolling this suitcase over floors, pavement, and even cobblestone. It's not the lightest carry-on, but it's also not as heavy as the aluminum shell makes it look — and we could easily hoist it into an overhead bin when packed full. Lastly, Rimowa backs each purchase with a lifetime guarantee — just make sure you register your suitcase as soon as you receive it.

The Details: 27.5 x 16 x 9 inches | 35 liters | 9.5 pounds | 4 dual spinner wheels

Best Softside

Antler brixham set.

The bags have a durable, scuff-resistant exterior that offers an attractive minimalist aesthetic.

There's no USB port or other smart features.

For those partial to softside luggage , we recommend the Antler Brixham suitcases. The patent-pending textile exterior with corner guards has proven to be strong, durable, and resistant to scuffs as we found no visible marks even after checking these bags. While the carry-on , medium checked , and large checked bags are also sold separately, we enjoyed traveling with all three as a stylish set, especially using navy as an alternative in a sea of black cases.

Each bag features a spacious interior, multiple internal pockets, and compression straps so packing them up is a breeze. The checked suitcases also expand to add nearly another two inches of depth. The best thing about these suitcases are how lightweight they are, especially when you’re up against restrictions. The carry-on, medium, and large bags are 4.19, 5.29, and 5.95 pounds respectively, each among the lightest bags we’ve ever tested. Adding to their ease of use are cushioned grab handles (that made it easy for even a petite tester to retrieve from baggage claim and lift into a vehicle), plus four double-spinner wheels that glided smoothly over bumpy sidewalks with minimal effort. The Brixham bags don't have USB ports or any other smart features, but considering the attractive, minimalist design, and lifetime warranty, we think they’re well worth the price.

The Details: 21.65 x 13.78 x 9.25 inches (carry-on), 27.95 x 17.13 x 11.02 inches (medium), 31.88 x 18.31 x 12.2 inches (large) | 45 liters (carry-on), 102 liters (medium), and 139 liters (large) | 4.19 pounds (carry-on), 5.29 pounds (medium), and 5.95 pounds (large) | 4 dual spinner wheels

Carl Friedrik The Carry-on X

Carl Friedrik

• Durability 4.8 /5

This stunning, modern suitcase is durable and spacious, with an exterior laptop sleeve, charging port, and other standout features.

You might need a dongle converter for the USB-A cord.

Carl Friedrik's Carry-on Pro is a sight for sore eyes. This stunning suitcase has an aluminum frame (with built-in TSA locks on each of the bag’s clasp closures) and sleek leather detailing. The suitcase also has a slightly textured surface that helps conceal scratches, scuffs, and other imperfections (but we haven’t noticed any visible damage after taking it on trips on two separate occasions).

Our favorite feature is the exterior laptop pocket, which allows for easy access without having to open the main compartment. We also like that it has a built-in charging port you can use with a portable power bank — though you might need a dongle if you have a USB-C adapter. This carry-on has a generous capacity; the pocketed compression pad helps you fit all your belongings, and you can purchase a second compression pad for the other side to add space there as well. This suitcase is a bit of an investment, but the quality is undeniable, and it definitely looks like high-end luggage.

The Details: 21.5 x 15 x 9.5 inches | 43 liters | 9.5 pounds | Smart | 4 spinner wheels

Best Weekender

Leatherology kessler large duffle.

Leatherology

• Portability 4.5 /5

Made of buttery-smooth, resilient leather, the Kessler Duffel is spacious, easy to pack, and visually appealing.

Due to the location of the shoulder strap pad, it might not be as comfortable for short people to carry.

Leatherology makes our favorite luxury weekender. The Kessler Duffel is surprisingly spacious, with a large main compartment, a few interior pockets, and one pocket on the outside. We easily fit everything on our packing list with room to spare. There are two grab handles, plus a longer shoulder strap. The shoulder strap is adjustable, but you can't really move the pad, so unfortunately, it may not be as comfortable for short people to carry.

The buttery-smooth leather might be the best thing about this weekender. It has a high-end look and feel and held up well during our drop test. The Kessler comes in four neutral colors from cognac to navy, with the option to personalize it with debossed, handpainted, or trapunto lettering. If you're giving this bag as a gift, you'll appreciate that it comes in a fabric dust bag inside a wrappable box as well.

The Details: 25.6 x 14.2 x 12 inches

Best Vintage-inspired

Steamline luggage the sweetheart carry-on.

Steamline Luggage

The Sweetheart Carry-on looks like an old-fashioned trunk and functions like a modern suitcase.

It's pretty small and only has two wheels, so it doesn't roll like a spinner.

If you like the look of vintage luggage, this one's for you. Inspired by suitcases used by 1940s train passengers but with modern features, the Steamline Sweetheart Carry-on is sure to turn heads. Unlike old-fashioned trunks, it can be wheeled around. While it doesn't have spinner wheels, it actually moves really nicely on the two wheels, and the pegs allow it to stand vertically upright.

We adore the overall design of the Sweetheart. The exterior has a premium look and feel, with leather strap details and gold latches, and it opens to reveal a gorgeous interior lined with a silky floral fabric. This suitcase is smaller than your typical carry-on, which makes it easy to lift and fit into an overhead bin. However, unless it's supplementing a larger checked bag, it may only be big enough for a short weekend getaway. If you love the look as much as we do and can swing the steep price, you won't regret buying this suitcase.

The Details: 20 x 14.5 x 6.5 inches | 2 wheels

The T+L team tried more than 450 pieces of luggage in our New York City testing lab, including carry-on bags and larger checked suitcases. To evaluate performance, each model was packed up, rolled around through an obstacle course, whacked with a baseball bat, shoved off a table, and hoisted into overhead compartments (if possible).

After the tests, each piece of luggage was awarded a score for capacity, maneuverability, durability, design, and value. We paid special attention to details like organizational features, weight, how smoothly the wheels rolled, and whether the bags sustained any damage or wear and tear. The high-end luggage with the highest average ratings was selected for this roundup, and we continue to use each winning bag in real-life settings for an ongoing testing period of at least six months. We will also update this article as we test more luxury bags worth mentioning.

Tips for Buying Luxury Luggage

Remember durability is crucial.

Durability is crucial, especially when you're paying top dollar for luggage. Your suitcase or bag should not only safeguard your belongings but also protect itself from potential damage. Polycarbonate, aluminum, ballistic nylon, and leather tend to be the sturdiest materials.

Softside models should ideally have a special coating to prevent stains and scuffs. Some suitcases have additional durability features, like reinforced corners, impact-resistant side panels, waterproof zippers, or moisture-sealed seams.

Buy the size you need

Think carefully about what size luggage you need. Do you plan to check your bags or carry on? Are you going on a long trip or a quick getaway? Do you tend to overpack, or do you like to travel light ? Will you have a chance to do laundry while you're away? Answering these questions can help you figure out what size suitcase to get.

Choose a brand you identify with

Let's be honest: one of the main reasons to buy luxury bags is to be seen carrying them. With this in mind, we recommend choosing a luggage brand you identify with. This might mean the company prioritizes sustainability or is known for high-end designs with practical appeal. Or it could simply be about rocking a recognizable logo.

Frequently Asked Questions

A luggage cover can safeguard your bag from scuffs, scratches, and dirt as it makes its way through the plane's cargo hold and baggage claim. This will help protect your investment from potential damage. However, a cover will also conceal the design of your fancy suitcase, and it can be a little tedious to get on and off.

You can clean the exterior of your luggage with a damp cloth and a mild soapy solution or an upholstery cleaner. A pre-moistened disinfectant wipe can also work. If your suitcase doesn't have a removable, machine-washable lining, you can wipe down the interior as needed with a damp cloth and a mild soapy solution or a pre-moistened wipe.

If you’re a traveler that frequents the first-class halls, you know that luxury travel baggage is an airport staple. First-class lounges are dotted with designer luggage from some of the world’s best luxury luggage brands. Arrive with any run-of-the-mill bag, and you’re likely to feel like the black sheep of well-heeled travelers.

Apart from the prestige that designer luggage carries with it, there are practical features that warrant a splurge. These bags from designer luggage brands have it all, from expandable interior space and durable exteriors to TSA-approved security systems.

However, the abundance of choices available on the market makes adding one or two to your collection difficult. These travel gear carriers are sold in many sizes, shapes, designs, and the like—all hard to choose from.

Luckily, this guide to the best designer luggage is here to help ease some of your worries. It features a round-up of the best high-end luggage to accompany you as you board a  luxurious first-class cabin  and jet to your destination.

Every item on this page was chosen by an ELLE editor. We may earn commission on some of the items you choose to buy.

The best crossbody bags for travel (some of which you’ll find on 2023’s list of must-have designer bags ) allow you to carry your essentials hands-free while you’re hauling ass through airport security at 5 A.M. or putting on the miles during a day of sightseeing. Get a bag that can do both. And if you choose wisely, you’ll also be able to sling it over all of your bulky winter puffer jackets before heading out for dinner and drinks.

If you prefer to shop designer, more power to you. For a travel-friendly style, look for items that close securely and transition well from day to night.

Dimensions: Height: 6.5 inches; width: 3.5 inches; length: 10.5 inches

Material: Leather

Colors: 19 options

Customer review: “This is a gorgeous bag, and the leather is so dreamy *but* you will be forced to pick and choose what you want to carry as the interior is quite small. I’m able to fit my iPhone pro, small wallet, lip balm and car key…and that’s pretty much it. But the look is worth it!”

While we love cameras, camera bags are usually ugly, point blank. You’re not paparazzi, and although you are a traveler, you wouldn’t want anyone to think of you as a tourist , right? This fashionable find from Isabel Marant is the solution.

Dimensions: Height: 5.25 inches; width: 3 inches; length: 7.25 inches

Material: Leather, silver, textile

Colors: Black

If style is your top priority, here’s an option that will match with quite literally anything you wear. The concession is that you might not be able to squeeze that telescopic camera lens inside it, but there’s more than enough room for airplane snacks.

Dimensions: Height: 5.5 inches; width: 7.1 inches; length: 10.6 inches

Material: Calfskin

Colors: Black, Desert, Avorio, Plum

Customer review: “What a beautiful and versatile bag, both in terms of style and colour. It's surprisingly roomy for the size. The leather is absolutely beautiful and buttery soft. Super happy with my purchase!”

It wouldn’t be a complete crossbody roundup without some form of nylon Prada. Similar to the ever-practical Re-Edition 2005 Re-Nylon Bag , this quilted flap-over bag comes complete with a detachable mini zipper pouch.

Dimensions: Height: 17 centimeters; width: 24 centimeters; length: 8 centimeters

Material: Nylon fabric

Colors: Black, Desert Beige

Customer review: “I have the original nylon and the Re-Edition, and they are my go-to bags. Lightweight, durable, and great for daily use.”

If you’re the sporty or adventuring type of traveler, allow us to introduce you to this style from Dagne Dover. We think you’d be perfect for each other.

Dimensions: Height: 12 inches; width: 4 inches; length: 9.5 inches

Material: REPREVE recycled polyester

Colors: Onyx, Moonbeam, Goji

Customer review: “Recently took this bag on my weeklong trip to Amsterdam...It worked so well. It comfortably fit my small Nalgene water bottle, wallet, sunscreen, sunglasses—all the necessities. It’s not huge but it could also fit small souvenirs picked up throughout the day such as magnets, small jewelry items, candy, etc. Highly recommend!”

Here at ELLE, we love MZ Wallace . This perfectly sized Sutton is just the latest obsession. We scrolled through pages and pages of five-star customer reviews in search of any “cons” to no avail.

Dimensions: Height: 10.2 inches; width: 9.8 inches; depth: 5.5 inches

Material: REC Oxford, Italian leather

Colors: 17 options

Customer review: “Love the feel, look and style. Everything fits so nicely in this bag. All items are an eyes view and so convenient to get. Love it.”

Cargo bags have appeared repeatedly over the past few fashion months, which means organization just got trendier. This sectioned bag allows you to keep all those bits and bobs in a place of their own.

Dimensions: Height: 8.5 inches; length: 10.5 inches; depth: 4 inches

Colors: Black, Sage, Navy, Ice Blue

This BAGGU option is actually a personal recommendation from associate fashion commerce editor Meg Donohue—although all the rave customer reviews amplify the point. This bag is spacious, not bulky, and surprisingly cute.

Dimensions: Height: 8 inches; width: 13.75 inches; depth: 4 inches

Material: Nylon

Colors: Black, Brown, Cocoa, Lemongrass, Pixel Gingham

Customer review: “This bag is so cute and easy to carry. I’m a mom on the go and my bags always get dirty. This bag is so comfortable and easy to clean. The strap is nice and wide and comfortable and the bag is big enough for me to even carry my Owala in it! If you’re on the fence, come on over. This bag rules!”

Béis knows travel. This sling backpack is ideal for busy walkabout days and can play counterpart to any number of other Béis luggage pieces. If you act fast, you can stock up and save big on multiple items during the brand’s early Black Friday sale .

Dimensions: Height: 8.2 inches; width: 6.7 inches; depth: 2.7 inches

Material: Nylon, faux leather, recycled polyester

Colors: Black, Slate, Beige, Atlas Pink, Maple

Customer review: “Love all the pockets and how accessible the sling is! Grabbing what you need quickly from the slots is so handy. I can’t wait to use this on my Italy trip!”

As a traveler with her naïveté on constant display, this anti-theft bag could’ve saved me some heartbreak (and the four hours I spent Google translating a theft complaint to the Paris police department). Slash-resistant material, deep locking compartments, and an RFID-protected pocket mean you can rest a little easier knowing your belongings are safe and sound.

Dimensions: Length: 11 inches; height: 11.5 inches; depth: 3 inches

Material: Cotton canvas, leather

Colors: Navy, Stone Grey

Customer review: “Did a month with this bag all over the world and there is no wear or tear that I can see at all...it fit everything I needed (wallet, rolled up rain jacket, phone, passport, rolled sun visor, etc.) and the zip out water bottle pocket works with a collapsible water bottle to fill up when you’re not in an airport.”

Tumi Valetta North/South Crossbody

For those who never leave their tech behind, keep your lifeline secure in Tumi’s vertical crossbody, complete with a touch of leather trim for style points. It has pockets for cash, cards, and mini must-haves.

Dimensions: Height: 7.3 inches; length: 5.3 inches, depth: 2 inches

Material: Nylon, leather

Mango Crossbody Bag

This bag from Mango gives off an aura of quiet luxury that makes it versatile enough to wear as your day-to-day bag or take it on the go. It’s polished, simple, and houses dual compartments to enhance convenience.

Dimensions: Length: 10.2 inches; height: 6.7 inches; width: 3.5 inches

Material: Polyurethane, polyester

Colors: Black, Leather

Customer review: “Yeah to to faux leather! The time has come for us to be conscious consumers. This purse is perfect to wear with my simple, classic wardrobe pieces.”

Coach Coachtopia Loop Quilted Wavy Tote

An extension of the Coach brand, Coachtopia revives recycled and upcrafted materials to give birth to new designs, like this puffy-soft crossbody laptop tote.

Dimensions: Length: 16.75 inches; height: 12.25 inches

Material: Recycled polyester

Colors: Twilight, Deep Orange, Black, Olive Green

Customer review: “This tote is so cute and comfy on my shoulders. It holds a lot of items...great for work or travel.”

FashionPuzzle Triple Zip Small Crossbody Bag

This crossbody bag has a 4.6-star rating from almost 30,000 reviews. At such an affordable price point, you might want to choose a couple of color options to add to your collection.

Dimensions: Length: 8.5 inches; height: 5.5 inches; depth: 2.75 inches

Material: Faux leather

Colors: 30 options

Customer review: “I use this when traveling, it holds so much without being bulky. I can put passports, phone, sunglasses, lip products, money/cards and still have gobs of room left.”

We love this bright and spacious tote, courtesy of July. Made completely out of cotton canvas, the durable bag is machine-washable, and there’s a spot for all your on-the-go must-haves. You’ll find a sleeve for your laptop, which holds up to a 16-inch device and even a holder for your water bottle. There’s also a side band for your luggage handles to easily go through.

A July reviewer says: “Highly recommended. Tote fits everything required for travel with plenty of interior pockets. Great way to travel interstate and overseas with NO checked baggage.”

Leave it to the beloved travel brand Away to create a versatile tote that complements any adventure. It comes in four sleek colors and is designed with durable, water-resistant nylon and a chic leather strap. You can personalize it, too, and know that if you bundle your tote purchase with a suitcase, you can snag $50 off.

This elegant Carl Friedrik bag is the epitome of luxury as it consists of premium quality leather and high-end, nickel-silver-finished hardware. It’s just the right size for small necessities, a change of clothes, and a pair of shoes, making it ideal for the gym or quick trips.

A Carl Friedrik reviewer says: “I use it as my daily driver. I keep gym clothes, additional layer and shoes along side my MacBook Pro and e-reader. However, there isn’t a laptop compartment. The bag usually has about 4-6 kg of weight in it and feels sturdy; and is good to wear with smart and a smart casual look.”

A leather tote for under $100? Now that’s a steal. Quince is known for delivering quality essentials at affordable prices. The bag can carry up to a 13-inch laptop with a separate pocket for your phone. You’ll be able to take it from the airport to sightseeing in no time!

A Quince reviewer says: “I really love this bag. It’s soft, fashionable, looks luxe and is sturdy. The straps are comfortable and there’s plenty of pockets inside. There’s also a keychain strap so I don’t lose keys in the black hole of a bigger purse.”

Introducing the travel carry-on of your dreams. The Arlo Skye weekender is a lot roomier than it seems as it can fit an array of outfits, a pair of shoes, a water bottle, a laptop, an iPad, and other travel accessories. As an added bonus, it’s water-resistant and boasts a two-year warranty.

An Arlo Skye reviewer says: “Pockets in all the right places. Great for a ‘personal item’ to supplement your carry on roller suitcase.”

Moms can’t get enough of Dagne Dover’s diaper tote. There’s a spot for everything a child (or two) could ever need. Each purchase also includes a mini changing mat and extra storage pouches. It can even clip onto a stroller, and there’s a game-changing zipper opening for wipes, so you no longer have to dig around to find some.

A Dagne Dover reviewer says: “I’m not a fan of bookbag diaper bags because I have to search through them to find what I need. This bag is perfect to find things and I can keep it organized. It has enough room for everything for my 3 and 1 year old. I would highly recommend!”

Calling all snack fiends or anyone with kids who are prone to spills, the Duck Bag is the solution you’re looking for. It’s a good-size bag that’s machine-washable.

A Baggu reviewer says: “This is not as flimsy as a regular tote bag. It’s a good quality tote bag... Very spacious and can carry a lot.”

You can’t go wrong with a Lululemon tote bag. It’s a classic silhouette made for any outing with plenty of exterior pocket storage, so you can have quick access to anything from a passport to a water bottle.

A Lululemon reviewer says: “I purchased this for my new job at a hospital. I tend to carry a lot of stuff and this bag couldn’t be more perfect. Lightweight but sturdy and stylish.”

On the hunt for something that can hold a lot but won’t take up much space when you’re traveling? Enter: Longchamp’s Le Pliage tote. It weighs less than a pound and can be folded into the size of a paperback book in a flash.

An editor’s review: “I’ve been carrying my laptop around in this tote since college. Since then, it has made it with me to several countries because of its lightweight structure and it doesn’t hurt that it pairs well with any outfit.”

For a timeless buy, go with the Never Still Tote. It can slide right onto a carry-on suitcase, thanks to its unique strap embroidered with Rimowa’s Cologne, Germany, coordinates. You can rest easy knowing that it has a two-year warranty and has been created with top-notch canvas and leather.

An editor's review: “I grabbed this bag in yellow to match my carry-on suitcase and it basically doubles the amount of storage I have when I travel. The spacious tote also has a separate interior pocket for my laptop and then, I use the rest of the space to house my skincare routine, toothbrush, change of clothes, and more during a flight.”

Cuyana Classic Easy Tote

Next up is a buttery, soft tote with space for a laptop as big as 16 inches. The bag is available in a range of colors including new hues like Biscuit, Sage, and Terracotta, and also comes in three different sizes. You can keep it casual for vacation, but most shoppers love dressing it up for the office. To keep all your work stuff organized , grab the useful tote insert starting at $98.

A Cuyana reviewer says: “Absolutely perfect bag for everyday, for work, and for weekends. It holds EVERYTHING!”

Rothy's The Reversible Summer Tote

Rothy’s has a reversible, rope tote made from an eco-friendly hemp blend that couldn’t be a better fit for a day at the beach. It could also work as a night bag when you head back out after the sun goes down. The best part? This tote is machine washable—but just make sure you let it air-dry.

BÉIS The Work Tote

It’s no secret that Béis is leading the charge in luggage innovation, and this work tote is proof. As soon as you open up the bag, you’ll see that there’s a place for everything, and given the headache of traveling, you’ll breathe a sigh of relief when your stuff is organized.

An editor’s review: “When I’m out and about, I’m usually searching for my Airpods, a pen, my water bottle, or my keys. This work tote has cut out the stress of feeling like I’ve misplaced something because there’s a pocket for my water bottle, a leash for my keys, and a removable pouch where I keep all my small must-haves.”

L.L. Bean Boat and Tote, Zip-Top (Medium)

Nothing beats L.L. Bean’s canvas tote. Starting out as a bag to haul ice, over the years it has been tested and the brand has found that it can carry up to 500 pounds. In short, it can handle anything.

An L.L. Bean reviewer says: “I’ve been buying these bags since middle school in the late 70s/early 80s and they’ve always exceeded any other brand’s bags. I’m just glad they finally added a zip top years ago...”

Think Rolyn Sporty Spice Pickleball Bag

Impress your pickleball group with this tote that can carry it all. You can even remove the paddle cover portion and use it as a casual travel or day-to-day bag. Our only advice? Act fast as it looks like there are only a few left in each color.

An editor’s review: “Pickleball paddle covers are everywhere, but it took me a while to find a sturdy bag to house my paddle and other essentials. Think Rolyn’s Sporty Spice is spacious, stylish, and works well as a carry-on and a gym bag.”

Marc Jacobs The Canvas Small Tote Bag

This Marc Jacobs tote is both stylish and on sale for a limited time. It’s available in an endless number of colors, and the zip closure up top ensures that it will keep all your small items you pack in place.

An editor’s review: “My best friend gave this to me as a maid of honor present and I’ve been obsessed ever since. It’s eye-catching, adorable, and thanks to its small size, I’ve become much more intentional with what I bring with me. I highly recommend it to adventurers who are trying to pack lighter.”

8 Popular Designer Bags That Stand the Test of Time

Life's not a popularity contest, but if it were, these bags would win.

Getty Images

Accessory trends burn bright and flame out fast, but popular designer bag styles have staying power. Unlike other flash-in-the-pan trends that come and go faster than you can say "TikTok aesthetic," the best designer bags start strong and stay winning. We chalk their staying power up to the alchemy of investment pieces — no one wants to spend rent money on a piece that will fall out of fashion favor in a year. Luxury handbag designers like Loewe, Bottega Veneta, and Louis Vuitton have spent decades if not centuries ensuring that their coveted totes, top-handle purses, and crossbody bags are equipt with the craftsmanship and style to endure years of trend cycles.

Ahead, we've rounded up seven popular designer bags that are trending now and are guaranteed to remain timelessly chic, no matter the fashion forecast this year, next year, or five years from now. From maximum-capacity tote bags to dainty purses, these designer beauties will endure whatever fashion throws our way, be it more Y2K resurgences or unexpected cores.

Loewe's Sumptuous Shoulder Bag

Loewe is known for delivering bags that strike a balance between finely crafted functionality and unique, eye-catching details. Its Squeeze Small Shoulder Bag combines current bag trends like a top handle and chain detail with timeless elegance.

Bottega Veneta's Top Knot Handle Bag

Bottega Veneta

The Bottega Veneta Mini Jodi bag has been everywhere this year. In fact, we can't think of a single runway show that didn't have at least one fashion influencer seated front row with a Midi Jodi slung just so over their arm. This woven purse, instantly identifiable by the knot in its top handle, comes in a rainbow of deliciously luxe hues, none of which detract from its intricate, but minimal design.

Chanel's Iconic Quilted Flap Bag

Chanel's quilted bags are synonymous with luxury and have been for decades. This popular designer bag will never go out of style, regardless of how many times the tides of fashion turn. Chanel's iconic flap bag is regularly released in fresh new styles, from eye-catching colors to delicate adornments. Given the timelessness of this bag itself, there's truly no wrong way to wear a quilted Chanel crossbody bag.

Valentino's Versatile Moon Bag

Valentino's Vlogo Moon Mini Hobo Bag is responsible for the current wristlet revival. Celebs and fashion girlies have been wearing its iconic logo chain wound round their wrists at fashion weeks worldwide, but thanks to a removable strap, this versatile bag can also be worn over the shoulder.

Prada's Pristine Re-Edition Bag

Prada is a fashion house that's unafraid to dip into its archives. Its reissued collections are among the most popular designer bags, and each year, another debuts to much fanfare. Whether Prada is opting to utilize eco-friendly materials or refreshing an iconic design with updated details, its bags stay effortlessly on-trend. First debuted in the '80s, Prada's nylon bags are just as popular today. The brand's Re-Edition 2005 Re-Nylon and Saffiano Mini Bag is a masterclass in revival, as trendy today as it was two decades ago.

Gucci's Timeless Shoulder Bag

Another bag with decades-long staying power, the Gucci Jackie Shoulder Bag, is just as iconic today as it was when Jacqueline Kennedy carried one back in the day. Then known as the Constance, this sleek, popular designer bag has not only evolved identities but has become a brand staple for the Italian design house , available in decadent colorways and textures that suit every aesthetic from minimal to eclectic.

The Row's Classic Tote Bag

The Row is known for its minimalist aesthetic, which aligns perfectly with the enduring bag design. Emily Ratajkowski, Jennifer Lawrence, and Gigi Hadid are among the A-listers who've been spotted carrying the brand's Park Tote over the years, which should tell you a thing or two about this popular designer bag's staying power. Despite unlimited options at their disposal, celebrities still opt to step out with this elegant and understated tote thrown over their shoulder.

Dior's Sleek Saddle Bag

Saddle bags come in a range of sleek styles, but there's none quite as iconic as Dior's classic style. Perhaps the most equestrian-coded designer saddle bag, Dior's take features a striking silhouette with all the clean lines and supple curves of an English-style saddle and gleaming gold hardware. Like many popular designer bags that stand the test of time, this one is available in a range of beautiful colors and textures, from grain leather to embroidered jacquard.

I Swear 99% of Celebrity Bag Sightings Include One of These 4 Designer Brands

Investing in a designer handbag is a big deal. As someone who only spends large sums of money on bags—sorry, shoes, but New York City streets are too rough for you—I know all too well that the financial and mental impact of following through on a big bag purchase is significant. What does help, though, is conducting research ahead of time to decide which bag brands, styles, colors, and sizes are right for you. Of course, you may also want to explore ways to style the bag once it's yours.

Before purchasing a designer handbag , I like to begin my research by reviewing how celebrities have worn the bags I'm interested in. After all, given their access to all the best fashion pieces on the market, they're often the ones who can provide the most outfit inspiration. During my quest to fill up my handbag-specific mood board for 2024, I noticed something: There really aren't that many brands that celebrities frequent in the bag department. In actuality, a majority of the most viral celebrity bag sightings feature just four brands, making it surprisingly easy to narrow down the search for my next big bag purchase.

Scroll down to find out which four brands I've spotted on celebrities the most.

It's not just celebrities like Jennifer Lawrence, Elle Fanning, and Ashley Olsen herself who love The Row's quiet luxury handbags—the entire fashion world is enamored with them, from the viral Margaux to the newer Idaho. For the newest of the four brands on this list, Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen's CFDA Award–winning label has amassed quite the fan club, with bags being its most beloved category.

Shop The Row bags:

Prada's bags are always in demand, but celebrities like Dua Lipa, Hunter Schafer, Hailey Bieber, and more have been especially keen on wearing the Italian fashion brand's handbags of late, ranging from printed options in unique shapes to classic leather totes with a twist—it is Prada , after all. I personally have invested in two Prada bags and find them to be among my highest-quality purses. Plus, they're guaranteed to garner compliments every time you bring one out.

Shop Prada bags:

Bottega Veneta has always excelled in the bag department, but the Italian brand has risen to new levels of fame ever since Matthieu Blazy took over as creative director in 2020. The brand has released countless mega handbag hits, from Bieber's, Jacob Elordi's, and Sofia Richie Grainge's favorite Andiamo to Kendall Jenner's and Dakota Johnson's go-to Sardine. Kylie Jenner and Nara Smith prefer the Hop, while Jennifer Lawrence has taken a liking to the Tosca.

Shop Bottega Veneta bags:

Saint Laurent's cohort of very loyal celebrity fans, ranging from Zoë Kravitz and Bieber to Jasmine Tookes and Laura Harrier, are as chic as the French pieces they wear on the regular. Even when they're not in head-to-toe YSL, they're all more often than not carrying a bag from the brand, be it the timeless Manhattan pocketbook or clutch or a slouchier, more casual Le 5 à 7 shoulder bag.

A sleek handbag has the power to transform and elevate any outfit and when it comes to wardrobe investments, a staple handbag is always worth it. People are usually either team shoes or team bags - but who says you can’t be both?!

Choosing the right one, and more importantly, looking after it well, results in it being a lifetime piece. With that in mind, it does make it harder to choose which piece to invest in as it needs to have a timeless appeal so it will last you through the years, and not be stowed at the back of your wardrobe, untouched.

As the fashion industry is shifting and prices are on the rise in every aspect of life, a luxury designer bag may not be in reach for everyone. Whether you want to go all-out and splurge on a luxury designer piece, or you’re after a more affordable option that will easily be mistaken for a designer item, I’ve rounded up my top 18 brands and their staple bags to have on your radar ahead of your next purchase.

Established in 2006 by former actresses, Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen , The Row is the go-to brand for timeless luxury. Focussing on simplistic designs with subtle attitudes, the brand oozes elegance and their pieces are made with uncompromising quality at the forefront. They are the pioneer for the quiet luxury trend that shows no signs of slowing down any time soon. The house stays away from trends and instead opts for classic capsule pieces that will be mainstays in your wardrobe.

Their Margaux bag has fast become one of the only bags within the last decade to compete with Hermès Birkin bag. Available in an array of colours, textiles and size variations, it is on the pricier side and is definitely an investment piece. 

£4,070.00 AT HARRODS 

Bottega Veneta

Founded in 1966 in Vicenza, Italy by Michele Taddei and Renzo Zengiaro, the brand's strong heritage was based on high-quality leather accessories and shoes. Their current Creative Director, Matthieu Blazy, has been with the brand since 2021 and has redefined a new direction for them since Daniel Lee’s departure. It feels as if he has taken the brand back to a house and created new defining house codes along with it. 

Their accessory heritage comes as no surprise as their bags are so highly sought after within the fashion sphere. At the top of our list: the Andiamo. Featuring the brand's signature intrecciato strap and gold-tone knot detailing, it comes in a multitude of sizes, shapes, colours and finishes. 

£3,410.00 AT NET-A-PORTER

Saint Laurent 

The luxury eponymous brand was founded in 1961 by Yves Saint Laurent and his business partner, Pierre Berge, after learning his trade under Christian Dior . Initially a Haute Couture brand, they launched ready-to-wear in 1966. Following Hedi Slimane’s appointment in 2012, he shortened the name to Saint Laurent.

Despite the name change, the ‘Y’ in the monograms on their bags remain. The Le 5 à 7 Leather Hobo is one of the most covetable bags available on the market. A truly timeless piece, but quite the investment so it is one to consider before buying.

£1,160.00 AT SELFRIDGES

Founded in 1925 in Rome by Adele and Edoardo Fendi, the brand quickly catapulted into the international fashion scene. In 1965 Karl Lagerfeld was appointed Artistic Director of the brand, a role he held until his passing in 2019, Silvia Venturini is currently Creative Director of accessories, menswear and childrenswear at the brand and is the only family member still working there. As a third generation of the Fendi family, it really emphasises and hones in on their core founding family heritage of the brand.

It’s safe to say Fendi is a key player when it comes to ‘It’ bags. Following its debut in 2008, 15 years later the Peekaboo bag is still a cult fashion favourite. Featuring a square shape opened by its turn lock, its simplistic design is a staple, timeless classic that will be one to pass through generations.

£3,800.00 AT FENDI

It’s hard to believe that the cult luxury label was only founded in 2009 by Simon Porte Jacquemus when he was just 19, launching the label a year after his mother’s passing with her maiden name. His sensational marketing methods quickly led to the rise of the label: he staged a protest at Vogue’s Fashion Night Out party with girls in his wool sweaters and miniskirts held up cardboard signs reading ‘We Want Jacquemus!’, resulting in it making it onto TV. And the rest, is as they say, history.

Whilst we love the Le Chiquito, we can’t overlook its impracticability. Le Bambino, however, is a different story. A core design from the brand and one of the best selling, it’s for sale in an array of colours, textures, sizes and finishes, each featuring the gold JACQUEMUS in the bottom left corner. Its rectangular shape and flap design makes it a capsule wardrobe must-have.

£750.00 AT NET-A-PORTER

Since his appointment as Creative Director in 2013, Jonathan Anderson has been credited for the revival of the luxury brand, originally founded in 1846, and spearheading the brand through a major rejuvenation and redesign of its identity. He has made the designs more covetable and is responsible for their modern classics that we know and love, predominantly their bags. 

It should come as no surprise that their best selling bag, the Puzzle, is on this list - the debut bag for Jonathan Anderson back in 2015. Each season it gets an updated set of colourways, and this season we’ve seen the introduction of the Puzzle Fold Tote to the family.

£2,500.00 AT NET-A-PORTER

Celine by Hedi Slimane

Originally founded in Paris in 1945 by Celiné and Richard Vipiana as a made-to-measure children’s shoe brand, it evolved into women’s ready-to-wear in 1960 and became part of the LVMH group in 1996, solidifying itself in the luxury market. Phoebe Philo took the helm as Creative Director in 2008, who helped make the brand's bags as covetable as they are today. She was replaced by Hedi Slimane in 2018, who is still at the brand now.

Hedi Slimane, Phoebe Philo’s successor, introduced the Triomphe bag - easily his most well known and best creation for the brand. The hardware motif pays tribute to the founders' original logo concept which was inspired by the Arc de Triomphe - he reimagined the logo and gave it a fresh update.

£2,950.00 AT CELINE

Hubert Givenchy founded his own namesake label in 1952 after working under Elsa Schiaparelli and eventually working his way to an Artistic Director position. In 1953, Givenchy met Audrey Hepburn and the two instantly hit it off, which sparked a partnership and friendship. His most well-known garment was the black dress he created for her to wear in Breakfast at Tiffany’s . Givenchy’s handbags and purses have long been amongst the most covetable and their cultural impact has been cemented.

Following its debut on the FW10 runway, the Antigona has been synonymous with the brand ever since. Shortly after its release, every ‘It’ girl celebrity at the time was spotted wearing the bag. An original style from Riccardo Tisci, it’s no surprise that the bag is a must-have feature in this list. 

£1,890.00 AT NET-A-PORTER

Acne Studios

Swedish label Acne Studios is not simply a fashion brand. Stylist Jonny Johansson founded the brand with three friends, initially as an advertising agency called ACNE, evolving into film production, clothing and video games. Acne Studios now sells ready-to-wear clothing and accessories, magazines, books and furnishing objects.

Inspired by traditional Japanese obi sashes, the Musubi bag is a square shape adorned with two knots at either side of its handle, or on the smaller designs, on the front. The whole Musubi family is rooted in Japanese culture, with its name derived from the popular snack.

£1,050.00 AT SELFRIDGES

Strathberry

Strathberry , the Edinburgh-based label, was founded in 2013 by husband-and-wife team Guy and Leanne Hundleby. Their minimalist and contemporary designs, featuring their signature bar closure, ensures their bags are instantly recognisable and ooze elegance. Royals Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle are long-term fans of the brand, having been spotted wearing them on a number of occasions.

The East/West Mini’s timeless style with accent gold bar and adjusting strap is a true capsule wardrobe piece. The timeless silhouette has a sophisticated edge, meaning it can be taken effortlessly from day-to-night and will be a staple mainstay in any wardrobe. 

£455.00 AT STRATHBERRY

Elza Wandler launched her namesake label in 2017. The Dutch brand specialises in luxury leather accessories and is a go-to amongst fashion insiders for cult finds. The designs are minimalistic, yet still feminine, making them a must-have versatile piece for your wardrobe. 

The Hortensia bag, the first piece the brand launched, is just as popular now as it was seven years ago. The refined shape with its expanding side panels and structured, curved base, gives it that timeless appeal.

£716.00 AT WANDLER

Manu Atelier

Women-led brand, Manu Atelier, created their brand after growing up in one of Turkey’s most important leather artisan workshops watching their father design and create handbags. The contemporary cult brand favours quality over quantity and their modern designs on classic shapes have them sought after. 

Their Cylinder bags are iconic for the brand and are one of their bestsellers. Featuring its circular shape and gold-tone linked chain shoulder strap, it can be worn in a number of ways. Its unique shape adds a fun element into your wardrobe. 

£345.00 AT FARFETCH

J&M Davidson

Founded in London’s Notting Hill in 1984 by photographer and designer duo, John and Monique Davidson, the brand has come a long way. It began with a belt that was inspired by equestrian bridles, and has evolved into a brand that combines creative artistry with functionality. Moving into handbags, luggage, leather goods and capsule collections of RTW, the brand has kept its timeless elegance and contemporary aesthetics. 

The Quiver bag was inspired by archers bags that hold arrows. The sculptural shaped bag is available in four sizes and a number of different colours, allowing it to slot easily into your everyday wardrobe.

£595.00 AT J&M DAVIDSON

Dragon Diffusion

A brand based around handcrafted woven leather bags. As a slightly more understated and lowkey brand, There are no logos or loud embellishments, think more timeless totes. All handmade and dyed using natural vegetable dyes, the brand draws inspiration from weaving traditions all over the world. 

We’ve spotted the brand cropping up more and more on our Instagram feeds, and a cult favourite style is the Triple Jump. Its diagonal chevron weave sets the style apart from usual woven bags, and its rectangular shape will be a throw-everything-in kind of bag. Fashion moguls Ashley Olsen and Alexa Chung have been spotted wearing the brand  too, so if it’s good enough for them, it gets a yes from us.

£350.00 AT SELFRIDGES

Copenhagen based brand, Ganni , is known and loved for their bright, statement prints and contemporary designs, different to the usual Scandi style of minimalism and usually includes a lot of black.

Founder Roger Saul established the brand in 1971 at his kitchen table in Somerset with just £500 from his mother. The logo, designed by his sister, and brand name Mulberry came from trees he passed on his way to school. The first designs for the brand were leather belts, and eventually lead onto bags and womenswear. A quintessentially British brand, it’s a known and loved go-to handbag brand.

Celebrating its 20th anniversary last year, the iconic Bayswater is still very much an ‘It’ bag. Kate Moss was often spotted wearing the style after its original launch in 2003. Its update has included an array of sizes, shapes and new colourways.

Hands up if you’re ready to be dazzled! From a ceremony structure designed to float on water to a jaw-dropping reception room with flowers blooming from every service, we’re swooning over every bit of this wedding. If you can believe it, that’s just the beginning. Julia Kaptelova artfully shot every detail, like the ballet performance guests were treated to and snow falling from the ceiling for the first dance! Prepare to be amazed and take a visit to the full gallery .

From About You Decor … Our design is a symbol of dawn and a distant endless horizon. Ahead is a long, happy life without any borders. An international couple, Pavel and Cherry, met in London and have been walking together for many years.

From the Bride, Cherry… My husband and I we decided to have our summer wedding in Moscow because the city is where his roots are. As we knew we were going to have the other wedding ceremony in China, we wanted our Moscow one to be very personal and intimate. We’ve known each other since we were fourteen, together with many of our friends whom we’ve also known for a decade.

I didn’t want to walk down the aisle twice so the plausibility of my request quickly came into discussion. The open pontoon stage was constructed in order to facilitate the bridal entrance on water, although there were concerns about safety as the last thing we wanted was probably a drowned bride before she could get on stage, picture that! I have to say on that day it wasn’t easy to get on the pontoon stage from the boat, in my long gown and high heels. Luckily my bridesmaids still noticed even though they stood the furthest from me on the stage, and helped me out without prior rehearsal. My girls could just tell whenever I needed a hand or maybe they were just so used to my clumsiness. Who knows 😂

We all love our photographer Julia! She’s so talented and her style is so unique. Our beloved host Alex is exceptional who made everyone laugh and cry. It was truly a blessing to have so many kind and beautiful souls on our big day. Thank you all!

I’m still not convinced this Moscow wedding, captured to perfection by  Sonya Khegay , isn’t actually an inspiration session—it’s just  that breathtaking. From the beautiful Bride’s gorgeous lace wedding dress and flawless hair and makeup to the pretty pastel color palette and stunning ceremony and reception spaces, this wedding is almost too good to be true. Do yourself a favor and see it all in The Vault now!

From Sonya Khegay … It was the last day of April and still very cold in the morning. The weather forecast wasn’t pleasing and no one expected that the sun would come out, but miracles happen and light rain gave way to the warm rays.

I love how all the details went together, you could feel the harmony in everything throughout the entire wedding day from the morning until the fireworks.

A gentle look of the bride, elegant but so airy and unique decor, the fresh and light atmosphere of early spring and, of course, true happiness in the eyes. My heart becomes so warm from these memories, it is always a pleasure to see the birth of a new family of two loving hearts.

You really can’t go wrong with simple: a beautiful Bride , perfectly pretty petals , loved ones all around. But add in an amazing firework show  to cap off the night and simple just became downright extraordinary. Captured by Lena Elisseva , with assistance by  Katya Butenko , this rustic Russian celebration is simply fantastic. See it all in the Vault right here !

From Lena Eliseeva Photo …  This cozy and warm summer wedding of gorgeous Natalia and Anton was in the middle of June. The young couple decided to organize their wedding themselves, and the day was very personal and touching. I am absolutely in love with rustic outdoor weddings, and this one is my favourite because of the free and easy atmosphere.

All the decor excluding the bride’s bouquet was made by a team of ten friends of the bride and groom. And it was charming – a light and beautiful arch, eco-style polygraphy and succulents, candy-bar with caramel apples and berries – sweet joys of summer.

At the end of ceremony the guests tossed up white handkerchiefs embroidered by Natalia’s own hands.

The most touching moment was the happy eyes of the groom’s grandmother, the most estimable person on the wedding. And the fireworks were a bright end to that beautiful day.

These photos from Lena Kozhina are so stunningly beautiful – as in you can’t help but stop and stare – it’s hard to believe it’s real life. But these pics are proof of this gorgeous Bride and her handsome Groom’s celebration at Moscow’s Fox Lodge , surrounded by vibrant colors and breathtaking blooms . Oh, and the idea of prepping for your Big Day outside in the sun ? Brilliant. See more bright ideas right here !

From Lena Kozhina … When we met with the couple for the first time, we immediately paid attention to Dima’s behavior towards Julia. There was a feeling of tenderness and awe, and we immediately wanted to recreate this atmosphere of love, care and warmth on their Big Day.

Later, when we had chosen a green meadow and an uncovered pavilion overlooking a lake as the project site, it only highlighted a light summer mood with colorful florals and a great number of natural woods. The name of the site is Fox Lodge and peach-orange color, as one of the Bride’s favorites, set the tone for the whole design – from the invitations, in which we used images of fox cubs to elements of serving guest tables and other decorative elements with the corresponding bright accents.

Savvino-storozhevsky monastery and museum.

Zvenigorod's most famous sight is the Savvino-Storozhevsky Monastery, which was founded in 1398 by the monk Savva from the Troitse-Sergieva Lavra, at the invitation and with the support of Prince Yury Dmitrievich of Zvenigorod. Savva was later canonised as St Sabbas (Savva) of Storozhev. The monastery late flourished under the reign of Tsar Alexis, who chose the monastery as his family church and often went on pilgrimage there and made lots of donations to it. Most of the monastery’s buildings date from this time. The monastery is heavily fortified with thick walls and six towers, the most impressive of which is the Krasny Tower which also serves as the eastern entrance. The monastery was closed in 1918 and only reopened in 1995. In 1998 Patriarch Alexius II took part in a service to return the relics of St Sabbas to the monastery. Today the monastery has the status of a stauropegic monastery, which is second in status to a lavra. In addition to being a working monastery, it also holds the Zvenigorod Historical, Architectural and Art Museum.

Belfry and Neighbouring Churches

Located near the main entrance is the monastery's belfry which is perhaps the calling card of the monastery due to its uniqueness. It was built in the 1650s and the St Sergius of Radonezh’s Church was opened on the middle tier in the mid-17th century, although it was originally dedicated to the Trinity. The belfry's 35-tonne Great Bladgovestny Bell fell in 1941 and was only restored and returned in 2003. Attached to the belfry is a large refectory and the Transfiguration Church, both of which were built on the orders of Tsar Alexis in the 1650s.  

To the left of the belfry is another, smaller, refectory which is attached to the Trinity Gate-Church, which was also constructed in the 1650s on the orders of Tsar Alexis who made it his own family church. The church is elaborately decorated with colourful trims and underneath the archway is a beautiful 19th century fresco.

Nativity of Virgin Mary Cathedral

The Nativity of Virgin Mary Cathedral is the oldest building in the monastery and among the oldest buildings in the Moscow Region. It was built between 1404 and 1405 during the lifetime of St Sabbas and using the funds of Prince Yury of Zvenigorod. The white-stone cathedral is a standard four-pillar design with a single golden dome. After the death of St Sabbas he was interred in the cathedral and a new altar dedicated to him was added.

Under the reign of Tsar Alexis the cathedral was decorated with frescoes by Stepan Ryazanets, some of which remain today. Tsar Alexis also presented the cathedral with a five-tier iconostasis, the top row of icons have been preserved.

Tsaritsa's Chambers

The Nativity of Virgin Mary Cathedral is located between the Tsaritsa's Chambers of the left and the Palace of Tsar Alexis on the right. The Tsaritsa's Chambers were built in the mid-17th century for the wife of Tsar Alexey - Tsaritsa Maria Ilinichna Miloskavskaya. The design of the building is influenced by the ancient Russian architectural style. Is prettier than the Tsar's chambers opposite, being red in colour with elaborately decorated window frames and entrance.

At present the Tsaritsa's Chambers houses the Zvenigorod Historical, Architectural and Art Museum. Among its displays is an accurate recreation of the interior of a noble lady's chambers including furniture, decorations and a decorated tiled oven, and an exhibition on the history of Zvenigorod and the monastery.

Palace of Tsar Alexis

The Palace of Tsar Alexis was built in the 1650s and is now one of the best surviving examples of non-religious architecture of that era. It was built especially for Tsar Alexis who often visited the monastery on religious pilgrimages. Its most striking feature is its pretty row of nine chimney spouts which resemble towers.
