There’s something about hard-sided luggage I love. Maybe it’s the fact that it’s all my parents used when I was a kid. From trips to Disneyland to weekend getaways in the mountains – our avocado green and lipstick red bags were always there. And now that I’m older and have been traveling on my own for many years, I’ve finally returned to the hard-sided bags of my youth. But this time they’re lighter – and frankly – more stylish. Some of the bags I think you’ll love too include:
Samsonite Graviton 24″ Hardside Luggage Upright. This bag is lightweight, comes with a TSA-approved lock and offers loads of room for all your necessities. Plus, it looks like something out of a spy movie – so how can you not covet this bag just a little?
Titan Luggage X2 Flash 22″. In three fabulous colors, this lightweight polycarbonate bag boasts wheels that spin 360 degrees and a specially designed shirt compartment. It’s also sleek, sophisticated and easily carried on.
Heys USA Luggage 20″ XCase Hard Carry On Luggage. Available in a shimmering rainbow of colors, this affordable ($100), durable bag is spacious, beautifully designed and weighs just 5.4 pounds.
Samsonite 29″ Oyster Cartwheel Hard Suitcase. Most like the hard-sided luggage of my youth, this gorgeous purple bag has easy-maneuvering wheels, an enormous single compartment and a strong shell that will hold up to almost anything.
Samsonite Ziplite 29″ Polycarbonate Hardside Spinner Luggage Upright w/ Zipper. With its simple, sophisticated design, this hard-sided bag offers understated durability and plenty of room for virtually any traveler.
