If they travel often, we’ve had a few luggage recs in the last year. Artist and event producer Alex Kellogg bought a Rimowa Cabin Classic and says his “life abroad has gotten significantly easier. The classic aluminum design is not only light and structurally sound but looks really cool and rugged. I go everywhere with it!” If the aluminum luxury vibe isn’t their style, musician Avalon Emerson loves her Multicolor Pelican Cases for her worldwide tours adding “I now know the supremacy of the pelican air, and they come in amazing colors these days. They look so good I want to eat them.” The seem sort of geared towards…gear, but I think they’d be great for regular ol’ luggage too.

If they’re always all like “my feeeet hurt” I bet they’d like Hoka Bondi SRs which painter Lucy Bull says provide “Max Cushion.” I have a pair too and can confirm this.
