Long before Victoria Beckham was using JFK as a runway, the Hollywood movie stars of the 1950s knew how to work the airport outfit. The leather case might have been swapped for a Louis Vuitton, and the chauffeured limousine for an Uber XL, but the power of the travel outfit remains unparalleled seventy years later. The pinnacle of any great airport ensemble comes from the chic luggage in tow, so we’ve rounded 5 of the best options for your summer getaways.
Rimowa Original Cabin Suitcase
Made from high-end anodised aluminium, the Rimowa Cabin Suitcase has been created with longevity in mind. Effortlessly lightweight, yet reliably robust, the iconic case features a flex-divider to help organise your belongings and a multi-wheel system which guarantees smooth steering. Arguably one of the most distinctive luggage designs of all time, this timeless case will never date.
Gucci Jumbo GG Small Carry On
Emblazoned with the Jumbo GG logo, this retro inspired carry-on case is the chicest travel companion to fly with. Sitting on four 360-degree wheels, the Gucci bag is finished with brown leather trim and a matching identification tag. Styled with a contemporary version of a 1970s Gucci belt buckle, this case will ensure your airport look could feature on a best dressed list.
Samsonite Proxis Case
Samsonite’s Proxis collection features highly resilient outer shells, made from Roxkin, a multi-layered material that can bounce back into shape. Built to last, this sophisticated case is finished with a subtle pleated effect on the exterior and a metallic tone.
Eastpak Perce More Shell Holdall Bag
Famous for their exceptional 30-year warranty, Eastpak has been making long-lasting travel bags since 1952. The Perce More duffel bag has a spacious interior and an additional side pocket for smaller items. Finished with its trademark logo, the bag features a detachable shoulder strap for easy wear.
Louis Vuitton Horizon 55
It would be hard to think of chic luggage without a thought of classic Louis Vuitton. The Horizon 55 is set to revolutionise luggage once more, thanks to its completely flat interior. Designed by influential designer Marc Newson, the cabin friendly case boasts a surprisingly large interior capacity, perfect for squeezing in that extra pair of shoes.
