From City Breaks to Island Escapes, These Are The Best Luxury Travel Bags for Every Trip
Discover For Living's favourite styles from Aspinal of London’s Travel Ready Collection, designed to suit every travel personality - from cabin cases for long haul flights to backpacks made for work trips and weekends away.
The evenings are drawing in, jackets are starting to feel a little optimistic, and you’ve probably found yourself reaching for the gradual tanner more often than your SPF. Knits are now commonplace in our daily outfits and - gasp! - you’ve even started thinking about boots. But the arrival of winter doesn’t have to signal the end of your holiday era. In fact, now is one of the best times to get away.
Nearly half of Brits save some of their annual leave until now, waiting until schools are back and flights, hotels and beaches feel calmer. Whether it’s a long weekend in the Cotswolds, a shopping excertion in Barcelona, or a long-haul trip further afield, we've got a soft spot for stylish escapes at this time of year. But just as there’s no one-size-fits-all holiday, there’s no one-size-fits-all way to travel - and Aspinal of London knows it.
Why Aspinal of London’s Travel Ready Collection Is Worth the Investment
Aspinal of London has just dropped its Travel Ready Collection - a luxurious edit of the kind of travel bags and luggage you buy once and carry forever. Crafted from 100% leather that only improves with age, each bag is built to last, with solid hardware and structured shapes that won’t collapse mid-airport dash. This is the difference between “making do” and travelling in style - whatever your destination. Go big with a cabin bag, or pack light with a flight bag, and choose from colours that are as considered as the design. Jet black feels made for New York arrivals, chocolate and tan nod to luxe cocktail lounges, while soft neutrals slip effortlessly into any city wardrobe. Deep wine and forest green? Perfect for strutting around the globe's style capitals.
But, which travel personality are you? Whether you’re planning a mini break, a sun-soaked island escape or a countryside reset, Aspinal of London has the cabin case, bag or accessory to match. Scroll on to shop the edit and start travelling in style.
