It’s always a challenge to find just the right piece of travel bags to suit your specific excursion-based needs. Thankfully, some of the world’s leading luxury travel accessories brands have created a whole array of variously-specced designs to ensure you find exactly what you’re looking for.
First up is Tumi, the American luxury travel accessories brand, who is celebrating the very notion of enlightenment, while also looking to incorporate a yet-greater understanding of travellers’ needs into its new TUMI V4 collection. Building on the brand’s commitment to provide users with worry-free venturing-forth, its suitcases are said to offer supreme durability, while being both lightweight and expandable. Those looking for an easy pick-up at baggage claim may want to opt for the TUMI V4 Expandable 4 Wheel Carry On in Collage Floral, as its singular design can be spotted from well across the hall.
Focussing on the changing seasons and the onset of perfect hiking weather, meanwhile, Swiss luxury fashion house Bally has set out to give utilitarian, technical hiking bags a much-needed makeover by way of its fresh and unconventional Elevate collection. Distinguishing the range are the Ewer shoulder bag and Elston backpack, both featuring jacquard grey nylon-lining pouches, while vintage explorer’s map of Mount Everest are emblazoned on their outer shells with the brand’s motif in vulcanised rubber. Made to be durable, the Italian-manufactured bags are highly resistant to dirt and stains, making them ideal companions for any intrepid adventurer.
Also ushering in the autumn season is Loewe, the premium purveyor of luxury Spanish leather goods, which has opted to welcome the cooler weather with a great outdoors-themed, eminently male collection. As the second instalment of the brand’s Eye/LOEWE/Nature collection, it’s safe to expect vibrant colours, patterns and vivid prints. The real standout here, though, is the Hiking Boot Yellow Multitone, crafted from calfskin leather, that strikes a balance between the soft and the sturdy. It would also be a sin to overlook the collection’s Convertible Orange backpack, which features a five-sided top panel in canvas with webbing and calfskin details.
