From handbags to high heels, Louis Vuitton has won the world over. But if there’s one thing this fashion powerhouse is famous for, it’s luxury luggage.

Louis Vuitton started life in luxury trunks. Nearly 175 years later, the brand has branched out into clothing, jewellery and accessories, but luggage is still the brand’s superstar seller. Beloved for its high-quality craftsmanship and classic designs that combine timeless tradition with new-age style, this heritage brand is a go-to favourite amongst fashionable sets across the globe. If you’re keen to join them, we’ve cherry-picked five of the most fashionable Louis Vuitton suitcases that are guaranteed to last you a lifetime.
Horizon 55

This luxurious rolling suitcase is cabin-friendly yet cavernous. Designed by Marc Newson – one of the most influential industrial designers of our generation – the bag expertly combines functionality and style. It’s all about volume here, with a completely flat interior that maximizes every crevice. It’s lightweight too, which means you can save those valuable kgs for your clothing, not your luggage. The four wheels glide across any surface and there’s a handy TSA lock for additional security. The exterior is made from LV’s classic cowhide leather trip, with aluminium metallic fittings for extra durability. From $2,750.

Horizon Soft Duffel 65
The Horizon Soft Duffel is Louis Vuitton’s most popular softshell case. The rolling duffle features two compact wheels to create a lightweight trolley system that will withstand the bumpiest surfaces. Unlike most duffle-style bags, the 65 features an external cane that creates a totally flat surface. That means more space for more shoes. There’s a TSA padlock system that can easily be opened and closed with one hand, as well as a double-pull zipper and U opening for easy access. From $2700
Horizon 55 Soft
Also part of the latest collaboration with Marc Newson, the Horizon 55 Soft features many of the same features as the original, with a soft top. The bag is made from thermoformed knit that can be unzipped and rolled for easy access. It features four compact wheels, as well as a completely flat interior to maximise volume capacity. The double-zip closing system makes it easier to access your belongings too. The exterior is decorated in a jacquard knit monogram pattern and available in black or pink. From $2,750.

If you like your luggage to recall the Golden Age of Travel, the Bisten 75 is for you. This collection piece embodies old-school luxury. It features a slender and sturdy exterior with monogram-coated canvas and a chocolate trim with a heat-stamped LV logo, reinforced with shiny gold hardware and studs. Inside the bag is lined with canvas, with enough space for all of your travel essentials. It features the signature S lock and key for added security too. From $9,500.
Rolling Trunk
Louis Vuitton’s signature rolling trunk combines the vintage sophistication of an old-school trunk with the ease of a modern rolling suitcase. Inspired by the House’s heritage trunk, the suitcase is made from coated canvas and adorned with a sleek black leather trim with titanium-colour harware. The reinforced corners provide extra protection with a gentle nod to the brand’s most iconic trunk. Inside, the main compartment features a handy zipped pocket and removable divider. The bag is cabin-baggage compatible too, so there’s no need to wave it off at the airport either. From $9,250
