The Best Luggage Brands for Jet-Setters

Travelling is one of the biggest joys in life, but I won't lie—it's incredibly stressful too. However, the stress starts long before the security queue or ticket gates. In my book, it begins with packing. Whilst your holiday capsule wardrobe is important, more vital is the vessel that gets it there safely. That's why owning great suitcases from the best luggage brands is key.

I've spent hundreds of hours flying, and often transatlantically. Ask me a few years ago, and I would've told you that luggage doesn't matter that much. But after experiencing busted zippers, broken handles and cracked exteriors (and a few tears), I take it all back. I'm just as discerning about the suitcases I pack in as I am about the clothes and shoes I choose to bring. It matters and makes an enormous difference whether you're seeking out the best carry-on luggage or hold luggage.

The right suitcases maximise space and remain sturdy through serious wear and tear. They also make it easier for you to find your travel essentials, keep dirty and clean laundry separate and gives you ample confidence that your bags can handle whatever happens between point A and B. Plus, with the following luggage brands, you'll appreciate just how stylish rolling bags can be. From Antler to Nere to Samsonite, I've gathered up the brands that have proven their quality time and time again.

1. Antler

Style Notes: Although I've been noticing a serious resurgence of Antler suitcases as of late, the company has been around for 110 years. It knows what it's doing when it comes to fantastic travel bags. The luggage is frequently raved about for its quality and just how lightweight each suitcase is. In my opinion, these are two key characteristics for any luggage you plan on owning—you want to ensure they'll last and not contribute too much to the overall weight requirement. They also come with a lifetime warranty, which speaks to the brand's belief in the quality materials they use.

Shop Antler:

Large Suitcase in Taupe - Single Stripe

This softer vanilla colour is gorgeous for travelling, and stands out much more easily from the sea of black and grey suitcases at baggage claim.

Antler

Stamford 2.0 Medium in Field Green

A comfortable grip handle and quiet wheels—what more could you want when you're gliding through the airport?

Antler

Cabin With Pocket Suitcase in Indigo Blue - Icon Stripe

The exterior pocket is such a thoughtful touch. It's ideal for anyone who works whilst travelling.

2. Nere

Style Notes: I wouldn't be surprised if Nere won awards for its flawless curation of colours. The brand has three ranges of wheeled luggage. Bondi is inspired by Australia and has gorgeous light pastel hues—it's also the company's lightest and largest line of cases. Stori has a classic design that'll last for ages. And Venture is sleek and stylish, especially for working from afar. If style is as big of a priority as function, Nere is certainly worth investing in.

Light blue is such a gorgeous hue. Nere really excels at providing an impeccable selection of colours.

A perfectly petite pink cabin bag. It also has an expander so you can fit all your new finds.

Nere

Stori Medium Suitcase

Medium is the perfect in-between size if a carry-on is too tiny but you're not sure about checking an extra-large bag.

3. Away

Style Notes: Away suitcases have impressed me for years now. I gifted one to my now-husband when we started dating, and seven years later it's still going strong after dozens of trips. I'll also say he doesn't have the gentlest touch when it comes to bags, but it's been dragged over cobblestones, pulled up hills, thrown into overhead compartments whilst maintaining its looks and functionality. You can also get them personalised with your intials—so cute!

Shop Away Luggage:

Away

The Bigger Carry-On Flex in Jet Black

It's hard to beat a classic black suitcase. And with monogramming, you'll be able to tell yours apart.

Away

The Trunk in Navy Blue

For a larger, modernised trunk, this is the one. It's suitable for holding up to three weeks worth of clothes (and then some).

Away

Medium Aluminum Suitcase in Silver

A great compromise between luxury aluminium suitcases and those at a lower price point.

4. Horizn Studios

Style Notes: I'm always keeping my eye out for brands that prioritise sustainability, and I was excited to come across Horizn Studios' line of luggage. Its RE line has a 97% recycled hard shell, and the company is on the verge of launching a new range with a 100% plant-based shell made of flax-fibre weave. With more shoppers becoming conscious of their footprint, luggage like that from Horizn is needed and I hope more brands follow suit.

H6 Pro Check-In Luggage (61L)

The perfect size for week-long trips.

H5 Air - Night Blue / Air / Cabin (55cm)

The lightest-weight option for cabins—ideal when you don't want you suitcase to take away from your weight allowance.

5. Samsonite

Style Notes: Samsonite is another legacy name in the luggage industry. Its iconic cases have lasted through generations, and the bags are worth their price. It has a wide range of cases, from those that bounce back into their original shape post-travel to ultra-small versions that neatly slot under an airplane or train seat. It's a timeless brand that you can't go wrong with.

My underseat luggage is usually a backpack or tote bag, but this has me reconsidering. It's functional, convenient and perfectly compact.

Samsonite

Proxis Spinner Expandable (4 Wheels) 55cm

A super sleek, expandable spinner case that's ideal for nearly any occasion.

6. Monos

Style Notes: Monos puts out undeniably chic and sleek suitcases. Although the luggage is simple, it's by no means basic. They're stylish and high quality too. The brand's aim is to sit between cheaper cases that aren't long-lasting and the high price points of luxury brands that aren't always accessible. Outside of wheeling suitcases, they also have great backpacks, totes and duffels.

This line features both polycarbonate and aluminium, so you get lightness and durability.

7. TUMI

Style Notes: TUMI always ranks highly when it comes to luxury suitcase brands. It's renowned for the extensive tests it puts its luggage through. From anti-microbial treated shells to built-in USB-C and USB charging ports, TUMI tries to think of everything travellers will need when designing its bags. If you're ready to invest in a luxe bag meant to last, this might fully fit the brief for you.
