This aluminum carry-on from Zero Halliburton is incredibly resilient. The brand’s luggage was used on the Apollo 11 mission, which tracks, because it seems like you could launch it into space without worrying about damage. The thick, protective aluminum stood up to our baseball bat and drop tests, protecting everything inside. Even the latches proved to be strong — it seemed like the metal bat would break before they did after we hit it repeatedly during testing. Weighing 11 pounds, this suitcase is a bit heavy compared to other carry-ons, and it doesn’t roll quite as smoothly when packed full. Still, the handle seemed sturdy, and we weren’t concerned whatsoever that it would bust open at any point. In the end, we think it’s an excellent investment piece if you’re in the market for luxury luggage that’ll last a lifetime. (The warranty is 10 years, but we’re willing to bet this carry-on will hold up longer.)

Add some glamour to any look with Louis Vuitton’s classic Alma bag, in its trademark monogram print. The style has existed in various forms for more than 120 years and only seems to improve with age. JW Anderson’s Bumper bag has become a real favourite in the Bazaar office, and with so many colours to choose from, there really is a style for everyone (as well as the more curvy Bumper Moon). See more about the Bumper bag here. Givenchy’s Voyou, a slouchy V-shaped shoulder bag, launched this summer, and quickly became a fashion-editor favourite. The style comes in mini, medium and large, various colour iterations, as well as leather, satin and even washed denim. The strap can also be adjusted to be long, short or worn crossbody. We love it in classic black.

Leatherology makes our favorite luxury weekender. The Kessler Duffel is surprisingly spacious, with a large main compartment, a few interior pockets, and one pocket on the outside. We easily fit everything on our packing list with room to spare. There are two grab handles, plus a longer shoulder strap. The shoulder strap is adjustable, but you can’t really move the pad, so unfortunately, it may not be as comfortable for short people to carry. The buttery-smooth leather might be the best thing about this weekender. It has a high-end look and feel, and like most leather duffels, it’s durable, holding up well during our drop test. The Kessler comes in six neutral colors from cognac to navy, with the option to personalize it with debossed, handpainted, or trapunto lettering. If you’re giving this leather duffel as a gift, you’ll appreciate that it comes in a fabric dust bag inside a wrappable box as well.

Samsonite’s Freeform Carry-On is a solid choice for international trips, thanks to its size (the correct size for most overheard bins across a number of international airlines), great storage capacity and reasonable price. The brand has been producing high-quality suitcases since 1910, and its spinner is compact but expandable by one inch when you need more packing room. While this option might not have the sleek, trendy look of a Monos or Away suitcase, its functionality more than makes up for it. “I took this suitcase with me on short weekend trips as well as longer flights,” says a member of our testing panel. “As an overpacker, I found the expandable panel very convenient for squeezing in extra clothes.”
