13 Best Designer Luggage and Suitcases 2022

The British heritage luggage company has been around since 1897, meaning it’s had 125 years to perfect the exquisitely crafted suitcase. It’s no surprise that Queen Elizabeth has used Globe-Trotter luggage exclusively, and has done so since her honeymoon in 1947 (other royals have also followed suit).

Lightweight but built to last, Rimowa’s aluminum suitcase is so coveted for good reason. But the 124-year-old German brand’s mastery of sturdy metal happened by accident – in the 1930s a fire destroyed most of the Rimowa factory’s materials. All that was left? Aluminum.

Dior’s iconic Oblique jacquard is rendered in a practical waterproof fabric to withstand the elements you might encounter on the road – the suitcase’s relaxed shape only adds to its versatile versatility.

Since 2005, SteamLine has been putting a fresh, contemporary spin on timeless vintage silhouettes. The Explorer collection is the brand’s first to feature naturally renewable and sustainably sourced rattan, and is all the inspiration you need to escape to somewhere warm and tropical this winter. Another signature of the house: a magnificent printed canvas, often created in collaboration with an artist, lines each case. This presents the work of Louis Barthélemy.

Leave it to the maker of some of the world’s best high-performance sports cars to master an aerodynamic case that’s stylish, functional, durable and, best of all, super lightweight.

Since its launch four years ago, Casablanca has become the go-to brand for the Gen-Z jet set. Consider this your ticket to the club (which counts Bella Hadid and Ella Emhoff as members).

A suitcase you’ll have no trouble finding in the baggage claim area, this Gucci piece combines the best of the brand: its popular bee motif is reimagined in a colorful and surreal print, which is then superimposed on the logo iconic Gucci. Unusual and classic, all in one.

When it comes to status symbol suitcases, none can compete with Louis Vuitton luggage – the 168-year-old brand has its roots in luxury trunks after all. This timeless classic can also be personalized in many different ways, whether you want to add stripes, change colors or monogram with your initials.

All made in Italy, FPM Milano suitcases are a modern take on vintage trunks. The thick aluminum shells ensure that your valuables will be protected. Additionally, each case is reinforced with two butterfly locks plus a TSA lock. The aesthetic details, on the other hand – nail ornaments, fine Italian leather handles – are a tasteful touch.
