A super chic suitcase for spring travel

One cannot underestimate the value of a good suitcase. If you've ever schlepped a bag with broken wheels, a misbehaving handle or a screwy zipper, you'll know that luggage which allows you to travel with ease is a serious godsend and a worthy investment.

What should you look for when you're buying luggage?
  • Go for something distinctive. A black suitcase is the standard traveller choice and is not easy to spot.
  • Look for one with hard sides. Whether you're travelling with valuables or not, a hard side will protect anything inside from damage that can happen when it's thrown on the conveyer belt and loaded onto the plane.
  • Get a bag that has separate compartments. This allows you to compartmentalize your cosmetics (keeping them far away from your clothing) and separate your laundry as you travel.

  • I'm lusting after the new crème white model from the  Rimowa Limbo range (pictured above). Made with an aluminium frame and a polycarbonate body, this piece has a multiwheel system so you can transport your heaviest loads to and fro. Plus, if you're looking for your suitcase on the conveyer belt, it won't blend in amidst a sea of black bags.   It's a definite investment but you'll likely never have to buy another suitcase again. Find it in stores this April.
