Here’s a list of high-end travel accessory brands that are perfect for Fashion Week this September, featuring stylish luggage and bags to elevate your travel experience.

1. Tumi

Tumi is renowned for its luxury luggage and travel accessories that blend functionality with sophisticated design. Their collections include everything from sleek carry-ons to versatile packing cubes, ensuring you travel in style. Notable pieces include its Alpha 3 Expandable International 4-Wheeled Carry-On and various travel accessories like its Passport Case are perfect for the fashion-forward traveller. With the new Mun Ka Young x Tumi Fall 24 items now available at the new Tumi Fashion Walk store, there is greater opportunity to get your hands on one of these bespoke items. 

What caught our eye: The Tegra-Lite in black graphite and the Harrison Nelson Duffel in Cognac. Undisputably masculine, and aren’t they just a handsome pair? Whether the man is lugging these around to look chic, or the woman to exert a bit of a powerplay, these pieces will catch anyone’s eyes when on the road.

2. Rimowa

Rimowa is synonymous with luxury travel, offering iconic aluminium and polycarbonate suitcases that are both stylish and durable. Their products, such as the Essential Cabin and the Classic Cabin, are designed with modern travellers in mind, featuring a timeless aesthetic and innovative technology. They also provide a range of travel accessories, including packing cubes and luggage tags, that complement their luggage beautifully.

What caught our eye: the Rimowa Essential Cabin in Red. Come on! Need we say more? It’s red! No longer will you have to wonder when your luggage will appear on the airport conveyor belt of black and grey masses, with this flashy suitcase, it’s an immediate attention-grabber.

3. Louis Vuitton

Louis Vuitton is a staple in luxury fashion and travel. Their luggage, like the Keepall Bandoulière and the Horizon suitcase, combines classic monogram designs with high-quality craftsmanship. The brand also offers stylish travel accessories, such as the Louis Vuitton Passport Holder and luggage tags, making it a top choice for those looking to make a statement during Fashion Week.

What caught our eye: Louis Vuitton launched the colourful Taigarama collection earlier this year which is a collection of leather goods accessories in Monogram canvas with luxurious leather accents. If you are a fan, the Taigarama pieces are a fun and playful addition to your traditional chic LV trunk collection.

4. Samsonite Black Label

Samsonite’s Black Label line focuses on high-end luggage that combines luxury with practicality. The collection includes sophisticated pieces like the Black Label Lite-Box and various travel accessories that are sleek and functional. These bags are perfect for the modern traveller who values both style and utility.

What caught our eye: Lee Dong Wook – I mean, Samsonite Black Label’s new Major-Lite collection! The brand’s Asia ambassador and Korean star has absolutely nothing to do with commanding our attention. Absolutely zero! Elegant, strong and a reflection of a precious diamond gemstone (yes, we are still talking about the luggage), the new travel accessories offer that well-deserved stylish and modern aestheticism to all travellers, and come in different colours to suit your style.

5. Away

Away has gained popularity for its stylish, affordable luggage that doesn’t compromise on quality. Their suitcases come with built-in USB chargers and are available in various colours and sizes. The brand also offers packing cubes and other travel accessories that are both chic and practical, making them ideal for a fashionable getaway. Unfortunately, they don’t ship to Hong Kong (yet). But that doesn’t take away from the fact that this brand carries some niftiest, sleekest and functional travel accessories on the market.

What caught our eye: Away’s new Softside collection. The Softside collection is equipped with a Transportation Security Administration-compliant combination lock, 360-degree spinning wheels, a leather luggage tag and polyester laundry bag, and interior and exterior pockets for organisation. Yet, these luggage remain durable while being lightweight.

6. Bric’s

Bric’s offers a blend of Italian craftsmanship and contemporary design. Their luggage, such as the Bric’s Bellagio collection, features luxurious materials and elegant designs. The brand also provides a range of travel accessories, including cosmetic cases and travel organisers, that enhance the travel experience while keeping you stylish.

What caught our eye: We love the Bellagio collection from Bric’s for its seamless blend of timeless elegance and modern functionality. The items are crafted from genuine vegetable-tanned Tuscan leather, each piece reflects exquisite craftsmanship and durability. With a stunning colour palette – cream, black, brown, blue, tobacco, and olive green – paired with luxurious tan leather details, Bellagio adds sophistication to any journey.

The above lists out high-quality travel accessories while also ensuring you arrive at your destination looking fashionable and polished, making them perfect companions for Fashion Week. However, with the evergrowing fashion-conscious crowd around the world, this list is not exhaustive.
