Luggage: travel bags, suitcases and toiletry bags

What can you find in the luggage category?

Three families, from largest to smallest baggage.

• Travel bags, soft, with shoulder straps or wheels, along with a few suitcases.
• Pouches, for school, makeup, or toiletries.
• Wallets and coin purses, for keeping cards and notes handy.

Travel bag or suitcase?

The travel bag, soft, can fit into a trunk or baggage compartment and adapts to the volume of your belongings. The wheeled suitcase offers better protection for the contents and can be pulled effortlessly through a train station or airport. Between the two, the wheeled bag combines the flexibility of the bag and the comfort of wheels. For a first purchase, the soft bag remains the most versatile option.

What luggage for a weekend?

For two or three days, a medium-sized travel bag is enough, carried by hand or across the shoulder. If you're flying, check the cabin dimensions set by your airline: they vary from one to another, and a soft bag fits more easily into the dimensions than a hard suitcase.

How to organise your belongings properly?

Pouches save space and time: one for toiletries, one for cables and chargers, one for small items. Rolled clothes take up less space and wrinkle less than folded ones. Keep a toiletry pouch ready, so you don’t forget anything when you leave.

What wallet for travelling?

When on the move, a compact wallet, zipped shut, keeps cards, notes, and coins together. The zip wallet prevents coins from spilling out into the bottom of the bag. Store it in a closed inner pocket rather than in a back pocket of your trousers.

How to maintain your luggage?

Canvas can be cleaned with a sponge and soapy water, leather with a dry cloth and suitable cream. Empty and air out bags after each trip before storing them. Between trips, insert a fabric bag or paper inside to help them keep their shape.

When to find luggage at reduced prices?

Before holiday departures, the summer sales are a great time for luggage sales. Black Friday, just before the holidays, is perfect for finding pouches and wallets to give as gifts.

Offers can be found on the promotion page for luggage all year round, on the Black Friday page in November and on the Sales page during the sales period. Fast delivery and the best price guaranteed.

Frequently asked questions

What is a TSA lock?

It's a lock that security agents at US airports can open with a special key without forcing it. A TSA lock prevents baggage from being damaged during checks.

How to identify your luggage on the carousel?

A name tag, a coloured ribbon or a bright strap will do. A colourful bag is also easier to spot than a black one.

Can a travel bag go in the cabin?

If it meets the dimensions and weight set by the airline, yes. Check these before departure: rules vary from airline to airline.

How to avoid bad smells in a bag?

Let it dry open after use and slip a packet of baking soda inside when storing it. Humidity is the main cause of odors.

Can a pouch double as a clutch?

Yes, a flat pouch can fit into a handbag or tote to group small items together. It serves as a useful clutch.
