I'm looking for a new set so let me know if you have a sturdy, functional and somewhat fashionable set of luggage that you wouldn't leave home without!

The best luggage I've ever owned is my current Victorinox E-motion 22-inch Trek backpack/roller... Durable, stylish, secure, & functional. AND it's the largest allowable carry-on size. It's been to 5 continents and still looks great.

True, it doesn't look the most stylish. But you will feel that every penny you spend goes toward the quality of the product instead of a designer name or fancy advertising. My first Travelpro Platinum purchase was about 8 years ago. It has been all over the U.S., Africa, Japan, China, U.K., and on and on. It has gotten temporarily lost, but has never failed me. The wheels spin like new, the zippers work smoothly, and the exterior still cleans up nice. I just can't sing enough praises. I refuse to purchase any luggage except Travelpro Platinum.

It isn't fragile or easy to damage. I have had my LV luggage for nearly ten years and it has really held up amazingly. I travel for leisure once or twice a month and I have never had a problem with any of it. I wouldn't recommend getting the canvas, but the leather instead. They also repair most pieces free of charge if you bring it in to a boutique so any little damages can easily be fixed.

Samsonite

and Hartmann

and if you really want the good stuff, the latest thing is the HENK "no suitcase"
