My passport is covered with stamps and I love that for me. It's one of my favorite parts of traveling, tbh—an intimate lil reminder of just how far I've gone and oh, the places I'll continue to go (just improving upon Dr. Seuss, nbd). Traveling with fab luggage by my side also plays a huuuge part in that. And yes, I am the type that intentionally matches my outfits to my suitcases whenever I'm hitting the airport (my rose gold Calpak and Away sets are my faves). While my go-tos are super durable and stylish, there also comes a time in life where you want a lil somethin' extra. Some va-va-voom. That's where designer luggage comes in.

Don't you click away! Just because I mentioned "designer" doesn't mean it has to break your bank account. Designer luggage is high-key synonymous with quality! Thoughtful compartments! Special and distinguishable styles! If you plan on weathering many storms flights with your baggage and doing so fabulously, then investing in designer luggage is an absolute must. Ahead, you'll find the chicest ones! From the looks of these and their v positive track records, you'll be ready to pull out your wallet in no time.

Our top picks for the best designer luggage of 2023:

Btw, if you're a savvy traveller or a wannabe (don't worry, I won't tell), you're gonna want in on this: I recently discovered the best way to make your luggage identifiable (don't you hate when you can't spot your suitcase on the conveyer thingy?!). Take things up a notch with a stunning travel belt by BIPOC brand, Cincha.

Horizon 50

The most obvi choice to start off with is the iconic Louis Vuitton! Yeah, it's a splurge, but I'm helping out by sharing the least expensive one on their site for ya. And if you're still bug-eyed about the price, you're the one searching for luxe designer luggage so whataya expect lol!

Carry-On Pro

Let me tell you somethin'—Monos is that girl, okay? This one has a built-in front compartment for easy access to your must-haves (like your laptop!!!), comes in tons of colors, and is super chic. Plus, it's dent-resistant—we love that.

Rave Review: "I spent a couple months doing a ton of research. I was trying to decide between the Away brand and this one. If you email them they will give you a detailed comparison of the two companies which helped me make my decision! I travel with my carry-on 95% of the time—even international! The color and quality is top notch. It's very light and the wheels move in every direction so smoothly. The customer service was so impressive that they convinced me to go for the bigger carry-on plus. I was able to gift this to my brother who was very excited to use it!"

Earth Tones Medium Upright Spinner Suitcase

Into earthy tones? You'll love the pretty hues on this sophisticated suitcase that has 360° dual spinner wheels, allowing for effortless motion no matter where you're headed.

Savoy Medium Trolley

Timeless is the one word I think of when I think of Gucci luggage. If you're into vintage-y vibes, then you'll love diggin' into the archives (this bag is inspired by the 1930s) and adding it to your cart.

The Quartermaster Cloud White

Twelve pieces are included with this bad boy. This Black-owned brand knows how to do luxury carry-ons, fr.

Rave Review: "Incredible bag! The Quartermaster is not only visually stunning (I was stopped at the airport by three separate groups) but so easy to organize and arrange my things. So far, I have managed a week long trip to Vancouver and a two-week adventure in Europe with enough clothes, shoes, and everything else needed for a perfect trip—oh and a little bit of extra space for shopping! What a great purchase."

Bcbgmaxazria Sunday 24 Hardside Spinner

Um, you can fit almost anything in here! The aluminum frame is gorge, and also available in black. And don't get me started on the luxurious interior! It's fully lined, honey, and has two top-tier packing compartments, a versatile mesh zipper divider, and tie-tapes to reduce shifting of your precious cargo (you and I both know how rowdy things can get, don't we?)!

Rave Review: "I was shopping for luggage that is pretty and feminine, but has great quality and function. THIS is all that and more. So happy, I cannot wait to travel with this case."

B|Y Ulisse 30" Expandable Spinner

Lookin' for an expandable suitcase that plays no games? Show that you mean business with this hard-shell warrior that low-key looks like it can be put through the wringer and always win. There's hella interior organization with two zippered pockets, a bag you can use for shoes or laundry, spinner wheels, built-in TSA-approved locks, and a USB connection.

Aviator Carry-On

You can spot a Paravel from a mile away, I'm tellin' ya. Well, I'm exaggerating but you get what I mean. It does everything you need it to: fits in overhead compartments, meets TSA requirements, and it even has a removable accessories pouch.

The 29" Large Check-In Roller

So many reviewers are asking the same question: "BEIS, where have you been all of our lives?!" I personally haven't tested out this brand but I have always loved the chic vibe and fun branding—and the reviews of verified customers speak for themselves. (Check out one rave one, below.) This expandable, extra-pocketed, smooth criminal has a handy-dandy weight limit indicator that gives you a heads-up when it's too heavy. Say goodbye to unloading your suitcase at the luggage drop-off!

Rave Review: "Best luggage ever created! I am 100% so satisfied with this purchase!! The storage alone is breathtaking. I can fit so many things, and they are able to stay so organized. Then the coloring of the bag is GORGEOUS!! I am a very neutral gal so this tone is absolutely perfect to achieve that sleek look. I am so happy with how easily the bag moves, as well. Every little detail was thought of and it clearly shows! I can’t wait to get more BEIS products:)"

Chatelet Air 2 Carryon Spinner Suitcase

Update your old carry-on with this cream wonder (also comes in blue and brown). You'll get all the compliments with this pretty bb rollin' besides you.

Rave Review: "I recently purchased a LV tote bag and I was looking for a carry-on that I could travel that would complement my tote. Its everything and more—the double zipper extra laundry bag etc. To top it off, it’s easy to travel with a plus.😊"

Innovaire Global Carry On Spinner

Go all out for yourself—you deserve it. The Hartmann is especially perf for international travel bc it's practical and super easy to lug around (since it's so light). That's def good news if you're an over-packer!

Rave Review: "This is an absolutely gorgeous carry-on! It matches with nearly all of my other pieces of luggage and is very durable at the same time. I felt like it was an extravagance when I purchased it, but now I’m so thrilled to have it! It’s in constant use and I enjoy it every time I travel."

Roadster Check-In Medium 27-Inch Spinner Suitcase

No one will hear you comin' with the silent wheels on the Roadster suitcases. This roomy pick just says, "I'm going places." And bonus: it's water-resistant.

Rimowa Essential Cabin

There's no such thing as over-packing when you've got a Rimowa. And idk about you, but I'll never get over Rihanna's campaign with 'em. Ugh. Tens across the board.

19 Degree Titanium International Carry-On - Titanium

Excuuuse me, precious cargo comin' through! Ask any wanderluster—TUMI is a legendary. This stunning carry-on is made of freakin' titanium (!!). It also has the works, including a three-stage telescoping handle. Ask me if I know what that is?! I will confidently say, "I do not, my friend." But hey, if it does it all, I'm still down for it.

Rave Review: "I bought my first piece of Tumi in 1995 and have bought many pieces since. This is by far the most beautiful piece I've owned of any luggage brand. I own the aluminum version of this too but the titanium has a more regal look to it. The metal has a darker gun metal look that has a more luxurious. It's pricey but is made from a very difficult metal to source, produce and manufacture. Beautiful accent colors and overall a head turner."

Small Dior Travel Suitcase Blue Dior Oblique Technical Jacquard

Quiet luxury, w-h-e-r-e? The bougie baddies go loud and proud with Dior. The verdict? Splurge now.
