5 Suitcases So Fresh It’s Worth Booking a Vacation Just to Show Them Off
Let’s see: there’s Cannes in late May, the Bauhaus Centennial in August, and then that rental you booked outside of Montenegro in August. It’s officially travel season, and that means it’s time to get a better grip on your globe-trotting. Thankfully, there’s no shortage of stylish handles to choose from. The latest generation of suitcases makes for the most easygoing of travel companions, thanks to lightweight cases, wheels that spin effortlessly in all directions, and rugged handle mechanisms that promise not to jam midway through your journey. Best of all, their graphic patterns and textural finishes are easy to spot — and let’s face it, show off — at baggage claim.
