Compared to a year ago, travel has made a major comeback in the United States. Imagine visiting a city you’ve always wanted to explore, or a coastal town with a lovely bay you can walk along during a picturesque sunset. It may have been a while since you took even a short trip, so a luggage upgrade may be in order.
Weekend duffle bags and day-packing bags are an investment, set to last for multiple trips away, especially with the well-trusted bag brands.
Here’s is a list of our favorite bags, including the likes of TUMI, Ted Baker, and Herschel, that are perfect for a short, vacation or business trip. Be sure you check any local regulations on travel before booking a trip.
