So to look forward to all the good things to come in travel, here are 5 carry on suitcases.

Goyard
Why we like it: If there’s a bag that should only fly private, this is the one. In terms of luxury luggage, Goyard is timeless. This suitcase is a spacious carry on bag that is never out of style. While you may see the purses and wallets, it’s not often you’ll see the luxury luggage line. This is just special.
Overview
If you want a fully structured case to fit as many last minute clothes as possible, Goyard is for you. The luxury luggage carry on bags serve a similar purpose, without the bulky exoskeleton. These lightweight travel bags are made for the stylish and frequent traveler. Yes, they are actually durable.
The price point is premium for these pieces. There is a way to buy Goyard online before you trip to Paris, at resale websites like The Real Real. However the pricing is not much of a discount; Goyard holds its value. Everyone can own a little Goyard though, outside of the suitcases. We recommend the Isabella PM Tote, with its interior sections and snap closures. The compartments make for the perfect passport and ticket pocket.

Louis Vuitton
Why we like it:
It makes an understated statement, and is durable enough to take you from Afghanistan to Zimbabwe, and everywhere in between.
Overview
We like the range of luxury luggage options from Louis Vuitton. You can do the signature LV logo print, the more discreet checker print, or a suitcase with no logo at all. The irony is the no-logo options are 100% leather in lieu of canvas, and are the most premium. This is baggage that will last you forever.
- Rimowa
Why we like it:
The modern, sleek and stylish vibe, along with how lightweight this luxury luggage is. Also, they have a new neon collection, that’s a departure from the classic silver and black that makes a statement.
Overview
For perfect fit into the overhead bin, a Rimowa polycarbonate carry on suitcase has a low-key and classic look. Everything about it has been created for absolute comfort and ease. It’s ball- bearing mounted wheels are made in order to steer with no awkward hitches. The Essential Cabin model has ever staple Rimowa piece, down to the interior item dividers. These carry on bags can be purchased on their website within the 600-700 USD range.

Brics
Why we like it:
Stylish, fun and relatively affordable. This may not be forever luggage but you will take you through many memorable vacations. Also if it’s good enough for Jessica Alba to take on vacation, we’re in.
Overview
The warm tones of the luggage and baggage offered at Brics almost transport you to the evening after perfect flight, setting down your bag on the edge of a freshly made bed. They’re perfectly modern without being minimalist, probably because of the “retro twist” that has been added to this new collection. The carry-on bags specifically, would make a great work or vacation trip accessory. Because of Covid there is a bit of a longer wait when you order online, around 7-10 days. We recommend the Firenze 27″ Split FrameTrolley in Cream which would match wonderfully with the Cream Firenze 18” Cargo Duffle Bag.

Valextra
Why we like it:
This is the most understated, under-the-radar brand that if luggage says something about you, it says that you don’t need anyone (except yourself) to know you’re carrying one of the finest pieces of baggage you can buy.
Overview
This sleek selection is the most modern of the bunch. The angular composition of the Polyhedral Travel Bag is futuristic without looking like a sci fi prop. It’s perfect for a work trip or a weekend away, and easy to fold in another bag in case it needs to be whipped out quickly. It’s diamond state is captivating, reminiscent of origami. What’s more, it can be creased while standing to create a more boxy form. It’s versatility and it’s looks are it’s strong suit and it can be purchased via chat assistance on their website.
