Jet-Setters' Favorite Shops For Luggage In LA
Over pack, underpack? What to pack? How to pack? Traveling is supposed to be fun and yet packing has slowly evolved into a nightmare when trying to sift through and decipher terms like vacations, staycations, beach casual, California chic and formal resortwear. But none of this will ever matter if your precious cargo doesn't arrive at your final destination. Luggage is such an integral part of the travel process and it usually gets overlooked. Rarely, upgraded, and well quite frankly, misused and often abused.
Luggage is more than just a leather bag with a zipper and wheels to get you from Point A to Point B, it should be looked at as an investment piece. Proper luggage can last years let alone decades, so make sure you love the pieces before you buy and not just because you need something right now. And do not be afraid to mix a classic suitcase with a great designer carry-on bag. Just try not to overdo it with the patterns.
