There are a few renowned brands and classic travel companions that you’re likely to spot at any travel interchange, from Rimowa’s premium aluminium swathed cases to Longchamp’s Original Le Pilage—a firm favourite since its release in 1993, which goes to show its reliance. You may also be familiar with Antler for its ribbed hardshell cases and US-born brand Away, which produce a compressive interior feature, for optimal space saving.
I’m not the only one who sees the importance of a sturdy carry-on case, take it from the team, who just so happen to be frequent travellers.
Joy Ejaria, social media editor, says “In a dream world where money is no object, I would love Louis Vuitton’s Horizon range. They’re peak luxury and can stand the test of time”, which reminds me of the phase when it was rare to journey through an airport without spotting a Louis Vuitton Speedy.
Away is a firm favourite of Affiliates Editor Emily Dawes, who states “I’ve had my set of Away suitcases for several years now and they’re so hardwearing, I think I’d have to call them my favourite luggage brand. Plus, I’m always shocked at how much they can fit in. I also have their softer Everywhere bag, which is the perfect weekender—it has so many clever pockets in places you never even knew you needed!”
