If you’re looking to upgrade your carry-on game, TUMI’s backpacks are a solid pick.

Ideal for a quick weekend getaway or overnight business trip, the Werks Traveler 6.0 Wheeled Boarding Tote is famously compact yet spacious. What’s more, this pick features a handy padded tablet-sized pocket and expands by 4cm for those who struggle to pack light.

Antler HORIZON, From $1,980
We’re not sure what we love most about Antler’s HORIZON luggage line; the circular patterns on its hardback exterior, the lovely coral-like colours, double layer anti-theft zippers or its affordable price tag (only $2,380 for its largest size!). Either way, we’re adding it to cart!
