Travel + Leisure / Alli Waataja

So, you didn’t inherit a Louis Vuitton steamer trunk — well, allow us to introduce you to some equally stylish (and more affordable) vintage-inspired alternatives. Whether you’re looking to channel the glamorous days of Pan Am (minus the whole smoking-on-the-plane bit) or just set your luggage apart from the ubiquitous black suitcases circling at baggage claim, a classic suitcase is always a good investment. 

You may be tempted to seek out real vintage luggage, but we’d encourage frequent flyers to opt for something less delicate and with the added bonus of wheels, which weren’t really a thing until the late 20th century . If this sounds tempting to you already, we’ve rounded up suitcases with the tasteful trappings of yesteryear combined with modern offerings like spinner wheels, compression straps, and retractable handles. Here is the best vintage-style luggage for every type of traveler, from the British royal family’s go-to trunk to budget-friendly duffel bags.

Best Overall

Urecity vintage trunk set.

This stylish set is a great value for the price, and features four-way spinner wheels for easy transport. 

The trunk style fits significantly less than a traditional carry-on. 

If you’re in the market for vintage-inspired luggage, you might as well keep things classic with a two- or three piece set — and one that would fit right in at the TWA lounge at that. These adorable, rose gold-accented pieces are an excellent value for those who travel light, but note that they do sacrifice space for style. As long as you’re committed to minimalist packing (or taking them on a shorter trip), these bags are an excellent way to elevate even the most budget airline experience with a bit of old-world glamor.

We’d recommend the carry-on size, as the material is shockingly durable for regular use but may not stand the test of time if handled too aggressively and tossed around at baggage claim. We love that it comes with a clear waterproof dust cover and that the smaller bag includes a detachable strap for easy carrying. 

The Details: 12.5 x 5 x 9 inches (cosmetic case), 22 x 8.2 x 13.3 inches (carry-on) | 2.65 pounds (cosmetic case), 7.36 pounds (carry-on) | PU leather

Best Rolling Carry-on

Mark & graham terminal 1 carry-on.

You can personalize this expandable rolling suitcase. 

The light coloring is more likely to show scratches over time. 

Mark & Graham is known for its luxe leather goods at a mid-range price, and the ability to personalize just about anything with a monogram. Set your luggage apart with the classic Terminal 1 carry-on, which comes in white, navy, black, or olive, all with brown accents. While the white may eventually show more scuffs, it’s a classic color combo and the polycarbonate exterior makes it easy to clean.

For peace of mind, the brand also offers a lifetime limited warranty, although it’s unlikely that you’ll need it given the quality. The genuine leather accents add a retro flair while a one-inch expander, four 360-degree spinning wheels, and a telescopic handle offer modern convenience. 

The Details: 14 x 10 x 22 inches | 7.93 pounds | Polycarbonate, polyester, leather

Best Top-handle Carry-on

Bric’s life cargo duffel bag.

The leather handles can withstand a good deal of wear and tear. 

There’s only one zippered pocket inside.

While Bric’s is less flashy than some other luxury labels , the brand — founded in the 1950s — still offers top-shelf (or, should we say, overhead bin-worthy) luggage. This is a carry-on worthy of a winter getaway spent sipping an Old Fashioned and reading a book by the fire. Available in olive or blue, it’s waterproof and extra durable thanks to the brand's iconic suede-effect material.

It’s the perfect size for a weekend or even an overnight trip, plus features interior and exterior zip pockets to help you stay organized. Plus, while the top handle on this handmade beauty is made to stand the test of time, we appreciate that it also comes with a shoulder strap.

The Details: 12 x 18 x 8 inches | 2.2 pounds | Sueded PVC, leather

Best Checked

Delsey paris hardside luggage.

This rugged hardside suitcase features a unique brake system that prevents the bag from rolling away. 

It’s not expandable. 

The great debate of check-in luggage is whether hardside or softside is more durable. The former can be more prone to scratches and dents while the latter may rip more easily but, either way, investing in higher quality materials will pay off in the long run. This rugged hardshell from iconic French luggage brand Delsey Paris looks far more expensive than it is, and holds up well over time thanks to its polycarbonate exterior that’s designed with temperature and impact resistance in mind.

Our favorite features are the special brake system, which locks the front two wheels with the push of a button so that you can still roll the luggage, but it won’t roll away on its own, plus the removable add-ons including a hanger, a laundry bag, and a shoe bag. While we’d love to recommend the stunning champagne white color, that may be best for a carry-on; a darker shade is more practical for check-in luggage, as it will better hide any scratches or nicks that may appear over time. 

The Details: 27.5 x 12.5 x 20 inches | 12.6 pounds | Polycarbonate

Globe-Trotter Safari Carry-On Suitcase

It offers the look of an antique trunk but a subtle telescopic handle and wheels make it easier to transport.  

It’s a major investment. 

Globe Trotter has been the leading name in luxury trunks since 1897, and even counted the late Queen Elizabeth II as a fan. The refined Safari carry-on pairs the timeless design of a classic steamer trunk with the convenience of modern suitcases: there’s a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it telescopic handle and the option to choose two or four spinner wheels, depending on your preference. It’s also personalizable for an added fee.

This stately suitcase is the ideal companion for long weekends or business trips due to its smaller capacity, but it’s a minimalist’s best friend. If you’re looking for a lifelong investment piece, this is it. 

The Details: 22 x 8.27 x 16 inches | 9.3 pounds | Vulcanized fibreboard, leather

Best Softside

Steve madden designer luggage collection.

There’s a designated space in the carry-on for shoes built into the interior mesh compartment. 

The compression straps offer less stretch than normal because they aren’t elastic.

This designer set channels major Murder on the Orient Express vibes. While an overabundance of zippers makes most softside luggage look cheap, the tassel finish on these add retro flair that’s sure to net you some compliments. The wheels (which add about an inch, keeping them within most carry-on guidelines) are designed specifically to provide extra stability and prevent bags from falling forward.

We love that there’s a built-in shoe slot inside the interior mesh compartment of the carry-on and that the under-seat bag has numerous pockets and slots to keep your belongings organized and in easy reach (plus it’s got its own telescopic handle for easy transport). If you’re counting on the compression straps, note that they aren’t elastic and therefore don’t offer as much give — you may want to consider packing cubes instead if you need to save space, although the two larger pieces are also expandable. 

The Details: 15 x 9 x 14 inches (under-seat bag), 20 x 14 x 8 inches (carry-on), 28 x 18 x 10.5 inches (check-in) | 5 pounds (under-seat bag), 7.8 pounds (carry-on), 10.1 pounds (check-in) | Polyester

Best Hat Box

Calpak large hat box.

This stylish hat box is sturdy enough to check and large enough to fit most wide-brimmed sun hats.

There’s only a trolley sleeve on the smallest size. 

A travel hat box is a must-have, whether you’re looking to protect your “OOO''-emblazoned sun hat for a beach getaway or pack a bachelorette party’s worth of cowboy hats and Calpak’s version is a perfect fit. It’s available in small, medium, and large sizes (and two classic colors: black and almond). Our favorite is the large since it accommodates most wide-brim hats (up to 18.5 inches). We love the croc-inspired pattern and that it’s made from durable polycarbonate instead of actual crocodile, which also means it’s sturdy enough to check. There’s space to layer several hats, depending on how delicate they are, and to tuck some softer items like sweaters or small accessories around them or in the handy interior elastic pockets.

For carrying convenience, there’s a cushioned top handle and a removable, adjustable shoulder strap. And, if you’re as sold on it as we are, you can always build out a matching set with the rest of Calpak’s Trnk collection . 

The Details: 19 x 20 x 8.5 inches | 6.7 pounds | Polycarbonate, polyester

Cotrunkage Vintage Luggage Set

From feminine florals to retro stamp prints, this three-piece set is available in fifteen eye-catching patterns.

The luggage straps are necessary to properly secure the suitcases, making it less easy to access your belongings in a pinch.

Luggage sets typically offer more bang for your buck and are a streamlined way to store all your travel essentials. Plus, they nest inside each other for easy storage when not in use. While that’s handy, it’s likely you’ll find any excuse to break out this three-piece set from vintage-inspired purveyor Cotrunkage, which comes in fifteen envy-inducing patterns — think florals that would make your grandmother’s wallpaper blush and Christmas colors fit for the Polar Express.

Note that these suitcases sacrifice space for design, so if you’re not one to skimp on souvenir shopping, you may want to look for bags with more give. 

The Details: 13 x 9 x 5.5 inches (cosmetic case), 22 x 13 x 7.5 inches (carry-on), 28 x 15 x 8.5 inches (check-in) | 2.9 pounds (cosmetic case), 8.5 pounds (carry-on),10.5 pounds (check-in) | Polyurethane leather, polyester

Tips for Buying Vintage-Style Suitcases

Know your capacity requirements.

It’s crucial to figure out how much space you need for a typical trip in order to select a suitcase that, well, suits you. Are you looking for a weekend-getaway companion or are you jetting off on weeks-long trips abroad? Do you tend to pack minimally or find yourself sitting atop your suitcase, struggling to close the zipper? If you’re the latter, you’ll want to prioritize expandable or softside luggage over hardside, as the material offers much more flexibility. Many trunk-style vintage pieces run smaller than modern luggage, so you may want to size up if you need more packing space (or invest in compression packing cubes ). 

Consider airline size and weight restrictions

While it pays (or rather, saves), to check individual airline baggage requirements, most standard carriers follow the same size and weight guidelines. Typically, you’ll be able to bring one personal item and one carry-on for free, and check other bags for additional fees. Most international flights also include one free checked bag. 

Personal items, which should fit under the seat in front of you, should be under 17 x 10 x 8 inches (but, again, sizing varies per carrier). Backpacks, duffels, or tote bags are usually accepted — and softside, squishable bags are ideal for tighter spots. 

Carry-ons will need to be stored in the overhead bins and not exceed 22 x 14 x 9 inches, including handles and wheels. Typical weight limits are 15-25 pounds for economy passengers — be sure to check your airline.

Checked suitcases are great for longer trips, or for bringing back loads of souvenirs for family and friends. They need to be less than 62 linear inches, meaning the height, width, and length can’t add up to more than that. Anything larger will typically be subject to added fees, as will luggage over 50 pounds. (But, as always, check with your carrier before travel for no airport surprises.)

Frequently Asked Questions

Aged leather, luggage straps, and steamer-trunk-style handles add vintage flair to modern luggage, which thankfully has evolved over time to include handy amenities like retractable handles and 360-degree spinner wheels. Retro touches like studded corners mimic the steel frames of actual vintage luggage, while vibrant linings and playful patterns like wallpaper florals recall the glamorous heyday of air travel in the 20th century.
