When carrying your precious possessions around the world, it makes sense to protect them properly.

Plus, the lifetime guarantee gives travellers reassurance their case will withstand rushing through an airport, the luggage carousel and of course, many, many trips.Each case has a secure TSA-approved lock, and zipped mesh dividers to help keep your packing secure and easy to find – so you won’t be rummaging around pulling everything out looking for that charging cable.

Buy nowGroove Leather Shopping Bag, burgundy red: £1,540, Rimowa.com(Rimowa)Size: 27cm x 38cm x 15cmWeight: 0.9kgRimowa may be best known for its hard-wearing suitcases, but it also knows how to complete the ultimate airport suitcase travel setup – and that’s where the Groove Leather Shopping Bag comes in. This bag solves the issue of your handbag or smaller bag never quite fitting on top of your suitcase. Its genius design means the suitcase telescopic handle can fit through the bag’s handle and the shoulder strap, so it will never slip annoyingly off the top of the case again (like we’ve all experienced with other bags).With its buttery-soft Italian leather, the oversized horizontal grooved design takes its design cues from the rigged aesthetic seen on Rimowa suitcases. When you’re not travelling through airports, it still makes an excellent handbag or office bag. It’s spacious enough for essentials, a small laptop and has useful compartments and a detachable pouch to keep smaller essentials in one place – proving the brand’s expertise extends well beyond the airport lounge.
