From Runway to Runway: 6 Suitcases for Jet-Setters

Let’s face it—your suitcase makes an entrance in every new city before you do. Whether it’s clattering across cobblestones in Milan or gliding through the VIP line in Tulum, it’s already saying something. Loudly. So what is your saying?

The Dancefloor Nomad

Always the one people ask for backstage access, The Dancefloor Nomad—floating between luxurious hotel stays and the occasional crash at a friend’s place. Your suitcase is durable, functional, and impossible to miss—its bold color stands out in any crowd, covered in stickers from Coachella to Keinemusik (check out the perfect carry-on and checked luggage). A hippie-inspired Prada backpack with travel-sized cosmetics always within reach—because hydration and highlighter are the real headliners, no matter who is at stage.

The Runway Rover

While others see fashion week as a time to party, for you, it’s all about little sleep and a lot of work. You’re a Runway Rover—not here for the Costes crowd or Instagram moments. Instead of hitting the after-parties, you’re back at your hotel, meeting deadlines and prepping for the next show.

Your luggage? A flawless mix of fashion obsession and professional sophistication. The refreshed Louis Vuitton Speedy, complete with a playful Paris travel tag and trunk charm, signals a girl who’s always ahead of the curve. Inside, you’ve got the latest tech to revive your face after a grueling week (My personal favourite rescuer is NuFace Trinity—but make it in glitter, to match the fashion scene). And a signature Chanel Allure Rouge—because you grew up on The Devil Wears Prada, and despite the storyline, you always resonated with the iconic "Everyone wants it, Andrea" mantra.

And now? The dream is real. But so is the chaos, the exhaustion, —it’s all yours. That’s why you keep I Love to Hate Fashion by Loïc Prigent in your bag, packed with the sharpest, funniest, and most brutally honest quotes overheard at Paris Fashion Week.

The Après-Ski Jetsetter

You love old-money destinations with a wink of fun—The Après-Ski Jetsetter, always dressed for champagne at altitude. Whether it’s Kitzbühel, Zermatt, or St. Moritz, you’re not just hitting the slopes—you’re making an entrance at après. Your luggage looks like it’s been passed down from your granddad, who once owned a château in Bretagne—classic, sophisticated, and masculine, perfectly suited for a premium train journey. If your granddad’s suitcase didn’t survive the decades—or if “old money” is more about your destinations than your inheritance—Globe-Trotter has you covered. Founded in the 19th century, the brand still embodies that timeless, heritage-rich aesthetic.

But what truly reveals an après-ski lover? Naturally, it’s the outfit. These glittery moon boots weren’t made for walking—they were made for dancing on tables at La Folie Douce, preferably before the second magnum arrives.

The Villa to Vaporetto Wanderer

You’re the kind who believes Italians do it better. Your favorite film? La Grande Bellezza, naturally. With a deep appreciation for Italian craftsmanship—sleek cars, impeccable tailoring, sun-drenched escapes—you are The Villa to Vaporetto Wanderer. Your itinerary drifts from the calm elegance of Lake Como to the eternal charm of Rome, gliding through Venice’s canals and ending with an Aperol in hand on the Amalfi Coast.

Naturally, your travel essentials reflect this obsession. A Loro Piana tote, a Bvlgari watch, and luggage that could only be Italian—because even your suitcase knows style is a serious matter.

The Miles Collector

If someone asks about your hobby, you smile and say, “Collecting miles.” You probably spend more time in the air than at home, and no destination feels too far. Authentic Airbnbs get you more excited than five-star lobbies, and your Rimowa—stickered from Tokyo to Tulum—tells its own story.

You live for the thrill of discovery, always chasing the next hidden gem. Chances are, you travel with a Canon G7X and a drone in tow—because for you, the journey isn’t complete until it’s captured from every angle.

The Upcycled It Girl

Nothing goes to landfill in your life—well, except maybe the relationship you left behind in Bali. There’s always a reusable water bottle in your tote (the most photogenic one you could find, obviously). Your wardrobe is a curated mix of pre-loved treasures and timeless, investment pieces. You champion sustainable brands, and your luggage? No exception. You're likely rolling with Paravel—famous for using recycled materials—and pairing it with an equally eco-chic weekender from Longchamp. Probably slung over your shoulder at Charles de Gaulle, en route to another silent retreat in Ubud—hoping to recycle your emotional baggage only to upcycle your dating pattern into something equally unsustainable.
