Travel Essentials Edit

I am pretty particular about my luggage and travel pieces simply because I (and Delta) can be hard on them. Four years ago, I splurged on Rimowa’s cabin carry-on and checked baggage. The carry-on remains my favorite small roller (I feel so polished carrying it, that never gets old!!), but the larger one got destroyed. I would not recommend aluminum bags for checking. It has significant dents and distortions, and I’ve had a corner piece detach twice now. Rimowa is very good about repairs, but it’s just not worth the hassle. When I check a bag now, it’s almost always this larger roller from Antler. Extremely durable and still in great shape after numerous trips.

My other Antler favorite is this overnight bag, which has just the right amount of compartments. It’s perfect. A handy tech organizer (if you travel a lot, buy extra chargers and keep this ready to go!), a hardshell case for my jewelry . . . there we go! Check out the grid below for even more favorites.

    I have used so many of your recs in this area throughout the years, the tech organizer is the best!! It’s one of my favorite gifts to give as well 🙂 That Bembien tote maybe the next item on my list, so good!

    Plus one for the tech organizer! I love mine. Also LOVE the dagne dover duffle — got it after you recommended it and loved it so much I got my husband one immediately. He loves it too. I also love my Away brand luggage!
