BEST CARRY ON (YOU’LL NEVER CHECK A BAG AGAIN THIS HOLDS SO MUCH!)
Briggs and Riley is hands-down the best luggage I have ever used, and I have tried them all! It is made with the highest quality and craftsmanship and comes with a lifetime warranty. I recommend and of their pieces that have the patented CX Expansion System, which allows you to fit up to 25% more into your bag thru bag compression. The Simpatico 21” CX-Expansion is a workhorse, and is about the only bag I use now! Buy HERE See the entire Carry- on CX collection HERE
The CX Collection comes in all different sizes, Small, Medium, and Large. I own all three but use the Large the least.
Best Roller Duffle and Luggage “System”
Db Bags are taking the travel world by storm with their sleek design and their dedication to functionality and sustainability. Hailing from Norway, this soft sided collection has backpacks, roller duffels, snowboard bags, and more. I love the Military Inspired “Hook Up” system which enables you to connect any bags from the collection, making your time trudging in the airport a breeze! My favorite bag is the 60 L Strom Roller bag, which opens like a clam giving you access to everything in your bag without taking it all apart. Pair it with the 20L Strom Backpack (Don’t get me started on the ingenious design of this back pack) You can buy Db Bags on Amazon HERE or right on their website HERE.
BEST TRAVEL BACKPACK (LAPTOP FEATURES)
The Kroser Laptop Bag: This stylish backpack holds a laptop, has a durable strap to attach to your luggage handle, a port to charge your phone , a clip for keys, need I say more?? And the price is UNREAL (less than $40)! IT’s so durable, I have had mine for four years now and take it with me on all my trips! Buy it HERE
BEST LUGGAGE COMPRESSION CUBES
Compression is key when it comes to luggage cubes, and not all brands have this feature. I have tried several brands and like the WELL TRAVELED 8 piece set. It’s durable, has compression, and has a pocket where you can label what’s inside. These cubes make unpacking a breeze, takeout of your luggage and straight into the drawer in your hotel. Buy HERE
MOST STYLISH PACKING CUBES
Mark & Graham makes very stylish packing cubes. They come in cute colors and can be monogrammed as well. This is a great gift for a loved one, or treat yourself! Packing Cubes are the perfect travel accessory if you are on the move during your vacation! Purchase HERE
BEST TOILETRY BAG
The Explorer Max Toiletry Bag. I admit, I fell in love with this when I saw it on Kickstarter so I ordered it, and I actually received it. I did just find it online for sale, so you don’t have to order it on Kickstarter anymore. The bag has smart and intuitive pockets included a waterproof section. It also has a clever zipper system that allows you to open it and see everything, without taking everything out. You can purchase this wonder HERE
BEST AND COOLEST “HOLD EVERYTHING SO IT DOESN’T GET LOST”
The Bandolier Billie Cross Body Utility Strap. Once (ok, more than once) my wallet or passport or phone or headset has fallen out of my carry on, slid to the person’s seat in front of me, or was just plain lost. This Cross-Body utility Strap holds it all and has many accessories as well. In it’s basic form, it is a strap for your cell phone, but the strap has pockets for lip balm, keys, credit cards, and more. Buy accessories that will hold your passport, money, and more. This has solved my problem, it looks cool, and it was on Oprah’s Favorite Things a couple of years ago! Comes in tons of mix and match colors and straps. Buy HERE
