Finding the Right Luggage-travel-bags for You
Why not add a dose of class to your travels even if you’re flying coach? With the broad range of sophisticated designer and vintage luggage available for sale on 1stDibs, packing and unpacking doesn’t have to be such a chore.
Let’s face it: Stuffing the car trunk or loading up your luggage before takeoff and then doing the opposite when you arrive is often the worst part of any trip, but there’s nothing stopping you from reintroducing the glamour and luxury that defined the so-called Golden Age of Travel.
Romanticized in recent years on hit TV shows such as Mad Men, the Golden Age of Travel generally began during the 1940s, when the big commercial airlines of 20th-century America deployed the newest in large airplanes to carry scores of usually well-dressed travelers to foreign destinations. This era of aspirational air travel was marked by luxurious in-flight dining, copious cocktails and high spirits, promoted in part by the sleek, graphically rich airline brochures and vibrantly colored illustrated travel posters that hung in the windows of travel agencies. Those drawn to the history of this now well-documented era — or those who lived it, having caught the travel bug thanks to revered magazines such as Holiday or the photography of Slim Aarons — will find lots to love in vintage travel bags and suitcases, particularly luggage that originated in the world’s best luxury fashion houses.
With top brands like Louis Vuitton and Gucci offering their take on essential travel bags, every brisk walk through the airport can feel like a runway. After all, why would you want to hide all of the fun inside your suitcase when you could make a statement with its exterior?
Purchasing a first-class travel bag will render the idea of “living out of a suitcase” appealing. Any journey, be it to a summer hot spot or a cozy winter getaway, can be outfitted with functional and fashionable vintage and designer luggage thanks to a vast collection of 1970s, ’80s and ’90s suitcases and satchels available for sale on 1stDibs. With designs suited to your very particular personal travel style, you’ll rightfully have a hard time tucking these pieces into a closet when you return home.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 22, 2024What happened to Hartmann Luggage was that the company went through changes due to new ownership. In May 2012, Samsonite purchased Hartmann Luggage, and the organization's factory and head office were shuttered in December 2012. However, Samsonite continued to produce luggage under the Hartmann brand name. On 1stDibs, find a variety of Hartmann luggage.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 22, 2024What size of Louis Vuitton luggage is a carry-on depends on the bag in question. The available sizes and dimensions for each of the luxury French fashion house’s pieces vary from bag to bag. In the U.S., a carry-on bag can be no more than 22 inches long by 14 inches wide by 9 inches high, and a personal bag can be no more than 18 inches long by 14 inches wide by 8 inches high. However, it's best to check the rules of your airline before you fly to ensure that your bag falls within the current guidelines. On 1stDibs, shop a collection of Louis Vuitton luggage.
