7 Chic Luggage Options For Your Holiday Travels
Now that it's officially November, we can start talking about the holiday season. Yep, it's time to start pinning those Thanksgiving recipes, doing your early gift shopping, and planning your trips. As any veteran traveler knows, sturdy, yet cute luggage is everything. Although it might seem impossible, there is a middle ground between fugly, utility luggage, and pretty, don't-scuff-this pieces. The beauty of investing in a nice piece is that you get to keep it forever!
My mother has had a Louis Vuitton roller carry-on and matching weekender bag that I've long had my eye on. And while I probably won't be able to steal those anytime soon, I can't help but dream. Though, yes, they came with a hefty price tag, they've also lasted her over 25 years. That's a major investment that's paid off time and time again.
If you're not quite on the same budget as my mother (read: like me), there are some options that look both sleek and will last a lifetime, or at least half a lifetime, to help you throughout your holiday and vacation traveling this year, next year, and the year after that. Because really, your luggage is the last thing you want to worry about, with flight delays, security issues, and maybe some too handsy TSA agents. Check out these trusty pieces that'll keep you on trend, but will keep your prized belongings safely in one place!
