It’s the season when many of us hit the road. Whether an overnight getaway or extended vacation, it always pays to pack smart. We’ve rounded up some of our favorite bags and packing strategies plus tips for storing travel gear between trips so it’s ready to go when you are.
Petite pack
For a carry-on or overnight bag, Tchoup Industries’ stylish Roulez packs are made with an eye to eco-friendly, locally sourced materials.
Light as a feather
Innovations in luggage materials have given us hard-sided bags much lighter than their plastic predecessors, with polycarbonate construction that offers durability without weight. Tumi makes a chic hard-sided option.
Fabric with force
If you prefer a soft-sided bag, find one with fortitude like this durable spinner from Briggs & Riley.
Ride-on, right on
Anyone who’s schlepped strollers or tired toddlers through an airport might appreciate the joys of ride-on luggage, like the playful models from Trunki. These combine fun forms with functional packing space to reduce the hassle of family travel.
