These Are the Best Investment Pieces You'll Ever Own
Sponsor Content Created With TUMI

At the beginning of June, my friends asked me what I wanted this summer to look like. As someone who craves a new adventure every weekend, my response was simple: I just want to be on the go. So far, I've already crossed a decent number of trips off my list—overnight stays in Santa Barbara and a family rendezvous in Toronto, to name a couple—and I don't intend on slowing down anytime soon.
If I've learned anything from this active lifestyle, it's that the right luggage makes all the difference, no matter how I'm traveling. Whether it's a carry-on bag, a tote, or a backpack, I need my travel essentials to be lightweight and compact, yet spacious and secure. And let's be real—my luggage is an extension of my personal style, so finding sleek suitcases and bags that complement my travel 'fit is the bare minimum (sorry, not sorry).
So you can imagine my relief when I saw TUMI's new seasonal collection. The brand is known for luxe, high-quality travel and lifestyle essentials that bridge the gap between functionality and style, and its latest drop is no exception. The Voyageur collection, which is crafted from rich, durable leather, features timeless shoulder bags, crossbody bags, totes, and backpacks that are built to last. One of my favorites is the Lex Small Train Case Crossbody—thanks to its easy-to-clean interior, it's perfect for storing all my makeup and beauty products.
TUMI also launched the 19 Degree Frame collection, a selection of bags that seem tailor-made for overpackers like me. The four-wheel carry-ons include tie-down straps to keep things compact, plenty of compartments to keep me organized, and exterior double-lock latches to keep my belongings safe and secure. Explore these items and more below—trust me, they're the best investment pieces you'll ever own.
