Haute Baggage

For those of you globetrotters out there, I don’t need to remind you that September is the quintessential time to travel. Summer is over, the air’s not as muggy, kids are back in school, tourists are tending their jobs, and it’s your turn to discover your destination in its purest state- sans photo-snapping tourists and crying kids. Traveling in September means you know how to travel with panache; you’re experiencing your destination as a local does, in its raw and purest form. And when you’re traveling with like this, you also need to travel in style.

Chic luggage is vital for the globetrotter. I realized this when I just turned eighteen at the tail-end of summer and was planning my first trip to London.  Packing for my trip was hard enough, what with all the coats, jumpers and Wellies I tried to squish into two mismatched suitcases. My suitcases were worn-out and fading (i.e. a navy suitcase turned gray and a larger suitcase with a broken zipper nearly a decade old). My entré to the United Kingdom and Europe couldn’t be with wonky luggage.

With less than two days before British Airways hightailed me out of New York to the UK, I zipped over to the nearest shopping mall and dug through an avalanche of suitcases. Finding a sophisticated set of luggage for a reasonable price was no simple matter. I had to dig through countless baggage to finally find a black with brown leather trim, Diane Von Furstenburg luggage set. That DVF set saved my trip to London, not only in that it enabled me to pack even more stuff than I had already planned, I will sheepishly admit I felt très chic when I arrived at Heathrow.

Today I find it much easier to find chic luggage for a steal. I surf LuggageOnline.com where they feature a myriad of luggage from brands like Calvin Klein, Diane von Furstenberg, Marc New York, and Samsonite. They have dozens of kinds of baggage you can search, such as duffel bags, wheeled luggage, carry-on luggage, and hard-side luggage.

And here’s the skinny: On top of the deals they already offer (such as a Samsonite luggage set originally priced at $495 on sale for $139.99), LuggageOnline is offering $10 off any purchase of $50 or more, 10% off purchases $100 or more and free shipping with any purchase of $100 or more.

Arriving in London with my Diane von Furstenberg luggage certainly made my trip easier; I also felt lovely cavorting around London Town with such attractive luggage. Except today I don’t have to search through an avalanche of gear just to find luggage that suits my globetrotting ways. I can go online and find sophisticated-looking luggage for a superbly agreeable price. Cheers.
