Sometimes, a perfectly good trip to luxury villas in the Maldives can be ruined when hotel concierges thumb their noses at your tattered and dented plastic composite suitcases. It’s time to exude some class with these beautiful travel cases.

Dunhill Brushed Aluminum

Tied with its black leather carbon fibre brethren, we’re simply mesmerised by this series of polished aluminium trunks. Surprisingly lightweight, these symbols of luxury would have taken first place if not for our doubts on the scratch and scuff resistance. Let’s face it, airport baggage handlers are not the most gentle of individuals. [via LuxuryCulture]

Louis Vuitton Travel Collection

Though it enters third on our Curated Selection, the LV Alzer 60 is practically a travel staple with the team. LV emblems abound in signature LV style. Spacious at 23.6” x 16.5” x 8.6”, the monogram canvas is quite scratch resistant. Reinforced rivets and gold brass corners add a touch of gorgeous distinction. The rounded white leather handles? Classic. The LV Damier graphite canvas Grimaud adds a touch of gravitas for the gentleman traveller. Lightweight and supple, it’s perfect for quick business trips to global cities. Practical and spacious, it’s a great travel companion.
