Luggage You'll Want to Use as Decor
It's probably safe to say that unless you're packing for work or an exciting vacation, your luggage is probably stored away in either a closet, under your bed, the basement or the attic. What if your travel bags were beautiful enough to double as home decor? Stylish enough to purposely leave in your entry hall, mudroom or next to your dresser. Bonus—unique luggage, especially in a fun color or pattern is much easier to find in baggage claim.
Marble without the Heavy Lifting
Sounds more like something you would purchase for a kitchen instead of a trip to Europe right? This glossy, printed hard luggage is designed by Heys, a Toronto company that's been around for over 30 years.
Part of the Fashion Spinners line, features include 360 degree spinner wheels, a zipper-released expansion system and an impact resistant exterior. Not to mention, you'll look like you've been frequenting the gym when you pull this off the luggage carousel (even though this luggage is actually pretty lightweight).
The Bold Graphic Bag
Reminiscent of bold Japanese anime, this bag is sure to turn heads at a busy airport terminal. This bowler bag has an adjustable, removable shoulder strap and a top zip closure with a lock for extra security. There is also a studded cross-body bag available to compliment this piece.
Upon returning from a trip I can easily see this sitting on top of a black laquered, modern dresser.

The Little Black Suitcase
A perfect piece of luggage for the modern, sophisticated jet-setter. The exterior is all black with the exception of rose-gold metallic accents. It's business on the outside, but has a fun blue butterfly lining on the interior.
It's practical as well, with an extendable handle, front zip pockets and charming 360 degree wheels that look like oversized buttons.

The Minimalist
Can you picture how sharp this modern piece of luggage would look against a matte black accent wall? Designed by Away, this carry-on looks simple, but still has all the bells and whistles.
For those of you that always seem to have a dying battery, there is a built-in battery under the top handle so you can charge any USB device. Other features include a TSA approved lock, a nylon laundry bag to separate your clean and dirty clothes and an exterior shell that doesn't break under pressure. This luggage will never go out of style, which is appropriate since it has a lifetime guarantee.

The return on your investment is most apparent in spaces where you spend the most time. One of those spaces is the bedroom.
