3 Travel Cases

Every holiday season it's all getting the perfect bikini body and then getting the perfect outfits for that perfect sipping-cocktails-out-of-coconuts-on-the-beach day.

But there's one thing that often gets neglected; luggage. You're ready for the holiday, you've bought some fabulous new outfits and you stuff them all into your hand-me-down falling apart suitcase? We think not.

This year has been all about the it-bag and if you want your luggage to make a statement take a look at our top three picks.

For the modern girl it's all about weekend breaks. And lots of them. Popping over to Paris, Prague and New York throughout the year for a touch of culture, partying and shopping the ideal carry case is chic but practical. Bric, currently one of the hottest names in luggage, bring us a very cute weekender (£185) and travel case (£245) in pretty lavender or bold turquoise.

For a longer, more relaxing break of sun, sea and sand (sigh) you'll need something a bit more roomy. For all those bikinis, sandals, dresses and accessories it has to be Tumi's Voyageur 22 packing case (£475) is a more roomy version. In bright canary yellow this baby won't get mixed up on the conveyor belt.

If holiday's just aren't enough and you're suffering from seriously itchy feet it's time to take a trip around the world. For that you may need something that little bit extra special. The stunning Globe Trotter line will have you feeling as if you've shot back into the 1920s.

Solid enough to be used for permanent storage but elegant enough to keep on display in the home. We love the pink tinged safari selection and the exotic looking three piece Orient collection.
