Wish List: Luggage Love

Chic and Practical Upgrades for Every Traveler

By Tiffany Figueiredo

If you're gifting yourself (or a fellow globetrotter) this year, a luggage upgrade is the kind that keeps giving every time you travel.

01. I’ve added the Béis Essential Weekender Duffel to my luggage wishlist. With a pop-open frame, trolley sleeve, and clever compartments, it’s polished enough for the plane yet practical for a quick overnight. I want this trendy burgundy version for all my city escapes.

02. The Calpak Water Resistant Zippered Pouch Sets have become indispensable for keeping things organized. I’ll use one for swimsuits, another for cords and chargers, and I always keep the small one in my handbag for bits and bobs.

03. When clients ask for one reliable suitcase, I point them toward the Away Medium Flex Check-In, as mine has lasted through years of heavy travel. It's lightweight, expandable, effortless to roll through airports, and available in a range of colors.

04. The Béis Essential Toiletry Kit is a practical luxury you wonder how you ever lived without. It opens flat, so everything is visible and secure — no more digging around in a bottomless dopp kit.

05. This Cuyana Pebbled Leather Convertible Laptop Sleeve is as elegant as it is clever, slipping seamlessly from laptop protector to desk mat and mouse pad. It's a little upgrade that truly works as hard as you do.

06. These aluminum suitcases are instantly recognizable status symbols. The Rimowa Cabin Twist version gives the classic carry-on a fresh edge with playful leather accents — a reimagined icon for travelers who like their luggage to make a statement.

07. The Cuyana Classic Easy Tote strikes just the right balance between everyday and elevated. With clean lines and soft-grained leather, it works as well for a client meeting as it does under the seat in front of you.

08. Travel with me long enough, and you’ll eventually need an adventure duffel. The Thule Chasm x Apa Sherpa Duffel makes that choice meaningful, with two limited-edition colors inspired by the landscapes of Nepal and 20% of profits supporting the Apa Sherpa Foundation’s work in education and opportunity.
