Jake and I love to travel. We love exploring new places and re-visiting familiar ones too! One thing we have learned when we are out of town is that there is a "perfect bag" for the trip! You can always have a go-to suitcase or a bag you love to travel with, but sometimes you need a suitcase for a certain need! Depending on if we are staying in a home, or a hotel, or how long a trip is, decides all these things for us! Here are a few examples of some bags we have found that we really like and why!
This collapsible bag is the perfect size for a long cruise, small hotel room or a small trunk space in a car! I got this piece of luggage specifically for a cruise. I loved how it is collapsable. It collapses pretty flat which is great if you are somewhere for a long stay and want to unpack your clothes and need to hide your suitcase in a corner or under a bed after your clothing is out of it. This is a large duffle so you can fit a lot of clothing and shoes in it (as well as souvenirs to bring home)! Jake and I went on a week trip and were both able to fit all our clothes in.
This particular suitcase stays true to duffle bag form with a flexible exterior but has a hard bottom, side pockets, and the best part...it has wheels and a handle! One thing I love about Lipault Paris is that all the luggage came with cute color-matching hardware and luggage-tag, and when stowed away, the handle that you use to roll your bag is zipped out of sight! Not to mention, they come in super cute colors, so I'm a fan! You can also get the luggage in traditional black, brown or navy, but I was all about the fun colors! There is no way I'm going to get this piece confused with someone else's!
CLASSIC SUITCASE WITH A TWIST-
To be honest, I have never had a luggage bag that spins around on all 4 wheels so effortlessly! Somehow this suitcase balances really well and does a great job spinning on the 4 wheels at a time. You can also use the bag on 2 wheels if you prefer to pull it that way. I want to take this suitcase out on some cobble street roads and see how it does :) I bet it would do awesome!
This suitcase comes in a variety of sizes from carry-on and up, but I went with the large size so Jake and I could both use the bag. Sometimes we like to share a suitcase on a trip so we don't have our hands so full with all our camera gear and hanging garment bags.
THE WEEKEND BAG-
I got this weekend bag a few weeks ago and have already used it several times! We took it with us recently on a quick trip to Idaho Falls, and it was great to carry all the goods. This bag is so wide on the bottom one pair of shoes fit flat without overlapping/stacking. The top opens wide so you can keep your clothes folded while they go in. There are exterior pockets perfect for toiletries and electronic cables as well as interior pockets if you want to keep papers or trinkets separate from your clothing.
The bag comes with a shoulder strap that is removable if you don't like to keep it on all the time. The strap is light and foldable so it fits perfect in the interior pocket.
If you're looking for the perfect gym bag, this would also be a great option! I decided to keep this bag in our closet since it doesn't take up a lot of space and is a great go-to bag.
