The upcoming warmer months are quickly approaching and are going to be all about traveling. We’re ready to get our wanderlust and family visits on after we’ve spent the past couple of months hibernating from the winter temperatures. With that said, there’s a good chance your old suitcase is a bit dusty and has seen better days, so it’s time to level up your air travel this winter with a shiny new suitcase. If you think that durable luggage has to look clunky and boring, you haven’t seen all the pretty and high-quality gems out there. More and more chic luggage brands are popping up that are just as smart and sturdy as they are good looking.
You might already be familiar with Away, the celeb-favorite luggage brand that Meghan Markle even gifted her baby shower guests. The futuristic-looking suitcases are most widely known for their genius built-in USB charger, so your phone never dies on you when you need it most. The brand also offers equally stylish duffles and travel accessories that’ll make your journey a breeze. ROAM offers customizable luggage so you can truly make it your own, and then there’s Calpak and an Away dupe from Target, which always serve up on-trend pieces at reasonable price points.
Ahead, we’ve rounded up the best luggage brands that don’t skimp on style, quality or cool features that are guaranteed to make you the jetsetter you’ve always dreamed of being.

Quince Check-In Hard Shell Suitcase – 24″
Quince dropped some seriously nice luggage that you’ll want to take on every trip. We love this ultra-light carry-on — it has an exterior with a hardshell top, a removable laundry bag for dirty clothes, and a TSA-approved lock that protects all of your belongings. Not to mention, it can also hold between 9-12 outfits. And when it comes to navigating the luggage, the spinner wheels make it seamless to push.
Royce & Rocket Luggage
Royce & Rocket are for the jet setters who are organization-obsessed. This newly-founded brand knows travel well, and their patented built-in shelving proves that. The Castle Classic, like this burgundy shade, features shelves in the interior that keep your clothes neatly arranged. This innovative component can also be compressed when not in use for extra packing room.
Made By Design at Target Luggage
Style shouldn’t have to cost a lot of money all the time. Lucky for you, Target has an exact lookalike of the cult-favorite Away suitcase at such an affordable price. For under $90, this carry-on hardside spinner suitcase is more than half the price of Meghan Markle’s favorite suitcase brand.
SwissGear
Not ready to fully venture out to new luggage brands? SwissGear is a traveler-approved brand that’s been a fan favorite through the years. And this grey hardside luggage is as timeless as it is sharp. It’s a popular choice that’s already selling out fast in other colors too.
Kensie Luggage
Don’t want to spend over $100? Kensie’s colorful and durable suitcases are a solid pick—this carry-on is only $67! The 360-degree wheels are super smooth and the telescoping handle allows you to adjust the height for your comfort. You can shop this style in other affordable and sleek colors like rose gold, gold, and silver.
Calpak
No one does trendy like Calpak, so if millennial pink suitcases are your thing, you’ll want one these statement-making suitcases. Multi-directional spinner wheels will help you fly through the airport when you’re rushing to a flight. Nordstrom has a few cute options from the brand and travel accessories like packing cubes or a luxe, silk neck pillow set.
Tumi
If Audrey Hepburn were still alive today, we think she’d have this sophisticated Tumi suitcase. It keeps things low-profile while still looking like luxury at its finest inside and out.
Monos
Thanks to Monos, you don’t necessarily have to go for a huge option when it comes to suitcases. The brand’s luggage options allow ample space for all your clothes and essentials while keeping it organized and secure. And this particular Monos carry-on bag features a terrazzo pattern that’s a bonus in the style department. This Monos suitcase also includes two shoe bags and an antimicrobial laundry bag.
Samsonite
This tried-and-true brand (which you can shop on Amazon) is a more affordable pick than some of the newer, direct-to-consumer picks but still offers plenty of styles. You can always count on Samsonite for ultra-strong shells that can handle being tossed around, but manage to be lightweight at the same time.
ROAM
The key to never accidentally taking someone else’s suitcase at baggage claim? Making your own. ROAM lets you choose from a number of customizable options so your suitcase stands out from the rest of the standard versions. Monogram included!
Away
The celeb-favorite brand is the Rolls-Royce of suitcases, so if you’re looking to truly elevate your travel game, look no further than luggage (they also have weekender bags and other accessories) from this cult-favorite brand. The selling point is the built-in USB charger that’ll save you from getting stranded at the airport with a dead phone.
Herschel Luggage
If you’re searching for the prettiest suitcase, we think this minimalist pink design will get a ton of compliments. While Herschel is most widely known for its cool backpacks, the brand also has some next-level luggage that’ll take your travels to new stylish heights.
RIMOWA suitcases
This luxurious luggage line is in the same category as Away, but perhaps more into the designer bag realm, if you will. RIMOWA is definitely an investment, but one that will last for the rest of your life. So, if you’re an avid traveler, this is the bag to consider. Made from high-end aluminum with longevity in mind, the superior German design is hard to beat.
