Dreaming of a Getaway? The Best Luxury Luggage for Traveling in Style
There was once a time when flying was a glamorous affair, really as much about the journey as it was the destination. Airplane food was gourmet, the champagne free-flowing, and the flight attendants impeccably chic. There were unspoken rules about what you could—and couldn't—wear on board. Elegant dresses and heels were de rigueur. Leggings, sweatpants, and flip-flops? Unthinkable.
Much has changed since those golden days of air travel. But now that travel rules have eased after two very long years of staying home—and most of us are finally getting comfortable going places again—who's to say we can't throw it back to a more fabulous era? A perfect place to start: investing in quality, luxury luggage is a surefire way to infuse a bit of long-lost panache into the way we travel. Whether you love the logo-mania of a classic Louis Vuitton carry-on, the easiness of a weekender bag and a two-in-one garment bag, or prefer the resilience of an aluminum Rimowa, below are 13 of the best luggage brands that are totally worth the splurge.

Cabin Twist
Rimowa

$1625.00
Lightweight but built to last, Rimowa's aluminum suitcase is so coveted for good reason. But the 124-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.
