Away The Carry On

One of the best luggage brands with a lifetime guarantee, Away is known for revolutionizing the suitcase game with its built-in portable chargers and affordable travel essentials. We’re fans of the versatile Carry On, as seen with famous travelers including Lily James and Irina Shayk. Available in 10 great hues, this hard shell features all of Away’s signature details, plus an optional USB charger add-on. And if luggage with a soft exterior is more your speed, be sure to check out Away’s first-ever Softside Luggage collection.

BEST FEATURES

Béis The Carry-On Roller

Launched just six years ago in 2018, Shay Mitchell’s brand Béis has taken the travel world by storm. One favorite from the collection is this 21-inch carry-on, available in 14 glossy and matte colorways and boasting over 10,000 five-star reviews. Key touches include a trolley handle with a cushioned, silicone grip, an interior that expands an extra two inches, plus a logo retractable bag attach strap that holds up to 15 additional pounds. Béis covers damages and defects outside of regular wear and tear with its limited lifetime warranty.

BEST SPLURGE

Rimowa Essential Cabin Suitcase

Rimowa is the crème de la crème of luxe luggage. Gigi Hadid has been spotted with Rimowa’s Essential Cabin style a few times, including in a limited-edition bright Mango hue (it’s no longer available, but this vibrant Gloss Papaya orange has a similar eye-popping look). Listed as the first polycarbonate suitcase, its innovative and durable design has quickly become a travel essential for on-the-go stars, including Julianne Moore, Kylie Jenner, Elle Fanning, Cara Delevingne and Jessica Alba. It’s offered in multiple color and design options and Rimowa covers its products under a limited lifetime warranty. Bonus: the company partners with select hotels to offer on-site luggage repairs.

best bang for your buck

Calpak Ambeur Carry-On Luggage

Celebrity hair guru (and Dyson ambassador) Jen Atkin is no stranger to style, which is why many followed her to Calpak when she collaborated with the brand on a bestselling pink carry-on a few years back. While that collab has sold out, you can still snag Calpak’s other best-selling carry-on suitcases online, which have been spotted with Gen-Z stars including singer Madison Beer. Key details include a lightweight polycarbonate shell, one-click TSA-approved locks, an expandable body and carbon steel bearing wheels for smooth maneuverability. Calpak has a ton of colors to choose from, including limited-edition seasonal shades, and the brand covers its products under a two-year limited warranty.
