Stand out at baggage claim with the luggage from these brands
By Natalie-Elizabeth Tan and Michelle Lee -
Travelling is fun, but there’s one aspect of travelling which we can unanimously agree we hate — lugging baggage around. After all, what’s so fun about hauling all that bulkiness around, especially when it involves the stairs?
Luggage may still mostly be purely utilitarian, but there is an increasing number of well-designed and chic luggage options for those who want to look good while scurrying around the airport. As pretty as these suitcases may look, you won’t have to worry about sacrificing function for form. The luggage from these luggage brands looks great and works even better.
