Luggage can be quite an investment—especially when you’re eyeing luxury or designer luggage brands that are meant to stand the test of time. Though it’s probably not the most exciting purchase you’ll ever make, high-quality baggage will last for years and pay dividends over time (take this from someone who recently had her less-than-stellar rolling bag break open during an international trip and had to duct tape it back together to keep her clothes from falling out).

The very best luggage should be beautiful, durable and easy to transport during your world travels. Whether you’re looking for a hardcover rolling suitcase, a sturdy laptop bag, or a trusty weekender set, we’ve rounded up the very best luxury luggage brands that are worth shopping for. Here, our favorites.

Samsonite Elevation™ Plus Large Spinner

This large spinner bag features a sleek design (we love the pastel cypress green and lilac colorways), ample interior space and smooth-rolling wheels for seamless travel. The exterior is made from durable Polypropylene, while the interior is created from 100% post-consumer recycled plastic bottles.

Globe-Trotter Original Carry-On Suitcase

This suitcase is inspired by Globe-Trotter's original design from 1897. Made from the brand's signature vulcanized fiberboard, it's finished with leather and gold hardware. Inside, you'll find a canvas lining and interior straps to keep everything secure. Additions like 360-degree spinner wheels and a sturdy handle keep this vintage-inspired suitcase feeling modern.

Travelpro Maxlite 5 Softside Expandable Checked Luggage

Amazon reviewers rave about this expandable and lightweight (8.5-pound) bag, saying "I've flown with this coast to coast and also to Hawai'i multiple times, and this case holds what I need for a weekend or even a week and a half."

Aluminum Carry-On

If you have to buy one carry-on bag, let this be it. Away's Aluminum Carry-On is perfectly sized to fit in the airplane's overhead compartment. The durable aluminum shell comes in three striking colors: black, silver and rose gold. We especially love this suitcase's interior compression system, which is perfect for chronic over-packers.

Louis Vuitton Monogram Keepall 50 Travel Bag

This vintage Louis Vuitton duffel is a timeless—and a fun alternative to basic travel bags. With its signature monogram and leather straps, it's a luxe piece you'll treasure (and travel with) for years to come.

Paravel Weekender Set

For long weekends and road trips, you absolutely need a weekender set in your luggage collection. This one comes with a spill-proof, stain-resistant canvas bag that slips over the handles of the Aviator Carry-On (which comes in five handsome colors).

Check-In, Large

This generously sized check-in bag will fit everything you need for your vacation. Made of an unbreakable polycarbonate shell, this is one durable bag that will last for years. It also features a TSA-approved lock, vegan leather details and whisper-quiet wheels. Bonus: It comes in a dozen beautiful colorways, and other Monos suitcases can be nestled inside this one for easy storage.

July Classic Family Set

This luggage set is perfect for taking on international trips or giving as a gift for the recent grad. It comes with a carry-on suitcase, large checked bag, and extra-large checked bag—all of which are made from hardshell German polycarbonate, silent wheels and multi-stop handles. We love the dozen beautiful colorways (pro tip: the brighter colors make it easier to spot your luggage at baggage claim). The best part? This luggage set is so sturdy, it's backed by a lifetime warranty.

Elevation™ Plus Softside Backpack

If you're looking for a chic carry-on bag that will fit everything from your laptop and headphones to snacks and valuables, this is it. Though the backpack has a minimalist design, it boasts thoughtful features and elevated details like a soft-lined pocket, hidden zippered pocket with flaps, and even a laptop hammock.

My Style Bags Boston Duffel

This beautiful duffel comes in canvas or natural linen with textured leather, two-tone handles, and a cotton lining. With an adjustable shoulder strap, it's easy to take as a weekend bag or stow in an overhead bin on a long flight.

Classic Check-In, Large

This checked bag from Rimowa effortlessly combines expert craftsmanship and superior engineering. This beautiful piece of luggage will stand the test of time, thanks to a hard shell made of anodized aluminum alloy, high-gloss aluminum corners and handmade leather handles.

Tumi Valetta Large Tote

If you *must* take your laptop with you while you travel, at least do so in style with this classic tote from TUMI. Several interior pockets, a padded laptop compartment, and a magnetic top closure ensure that your tech and valuables stay safely put while in transit.
