Ready, Set, Jet: Shop the Season’s Most-Coveted Designer Travel Bags

From on-trend top-handle designs to timeless utilitarian silhouettes, shop 24 of the season’s best travel bags ahead.

The Canvas Bags

Equal parts laid-back, structured, and durable—a canvas bag is all about polished practicality. Bottega Veneta’s signature knotted hardware sets it apart from the classic style; but for a roomier option to sling over your shoulder, pick up this shopper from Polo Ralph Lauren. It zippers shut for security and works well as a weekender bag.

Como Explorer

Named for the Italian cotton mill the canvas fabric is sourced from, the Como tote (a favorite of Katie Holmes') is surprisingly resilient: It's both water- and stain-resistant, with reinforced leather corners that make it extra sturdy.

Dimensions: 8″ x 10″ x 11″

The Leather Bags

For a year-round option, choose a travel tote in luxe leather. The Row and Toteme have classic options with zippered compartments and slip pockets for stashing your passport and other travel accessories—though if you prefer a slouchier silhouette, go with this buckled style from Coperni.
