Congratulations! You’re no longer a student traveling with a pillowcase stuffed with dirty laundry and a backpack. You’ve reached the stage where you appreciate a freshly pressed shirt. So it’s time to invest in some serious luggage – your only defense against the epidemic of airport schlumpiness. The right suitcase will last for a lifetime (and make you look cooler at the baggage carousel).

My favorite luggage sources: Stacks& Stacks, Macy’s (for its great collection of Tumi luggage) and Bluefly.com (for Prada discounts galore).

What brand of luggage do you trust most?

Love,

Loren
