If you want to travel more in 2026, the first step after booking a flight is getting a high-quality travel bag. I used to think a sturdy suitcase and carry-on would cost me as much as a first-class ticket, but I was happily proven wrong by Strand. The brand just put over one hundred of its most sophisticated travel bags on major sale (up to 50% off!) for Boxing Day—so, I got right to work on finding the best of the best. An hour of scrolling and saving later, here's my list of the top suitcases, travel bags, and handbags you need to be the most chic person on your flight. This sale is going on now through January 27, but trust me, you'll want to shop these picks ASAP.

The Nere Stori Check-In Suitcase (in the baby-blue color specifically) is the #1 item on my wish list this year. But honestly, you can't go wrong with any of these suitcases—they'll be travel essentials for years to come.

Whether your trip consists of leisurely beach days or fast-paced city nights, here's every bag you'll need to vacation in style.
