Our favorite TV shows and movies may be largely fictional, but in some cases, one thing that is very real is the designer luggage that's carried across the screen. From custom Louis Vuitton to vintage Chanel, the suitcases and bags used in pop culture have a rich history behind them, often conveying a certain time period, place, or character. From Barbie to Bullet Train, some of our favorite brands—Tumi and Louis Vuitton included—have been spotted on sets over the years. Below, we've rounded up 11 iconic movies and shows featuring some major designer luggage eye candy; you might just want to snag a piece or two for your next trip.
Tanya McQuiod, played by the fabulous Jennifer Coolidge, was a fan favorite on White Lotus. With her vibrant yet chaotic personality, it's no wonder she has a luggage collection to match. Some of Tanya's stand-out pieces were courtesy of Globe-Trotter’s Amethyst collection. Although the brand’s Amethyst vanity case that Tanya used to house her jewelry is sold out, the next best thing is the London Square purse. It can be used as a personal item, toiletry case, or makeup case—the possibilities are endless. The glossy finish gives it a sophisticated look while also helping to keep it clean. We'd be remiss not to mention her oversized suitcase; this copycat has a deep main compartment and opens more like a trunk. It can store a minimum of 15 outfits and is made from layers of recycled paper that creates the brand's famous, built-to-last Vulcanized Fiberboard exterior.
Margot Robbie and Ryan Reynolds in Barbie.
Barbie-core has extended far beyond clothing and shoes at this point, and after a quick glimpse of Barbie’s massive closet, we spotted some unique travel essentials. The Chanel small Deauville Tote sitting on Barbie's shelves is ideal for any beach day. While you stuff your beach bags and reading essentials in the main compartment, you can use the removable pouch as a wallet for the day to minimize bulk and keep things monochromatic. The Louis Vuitton PVC Monogram Keepall Bandouliére 50, meanwhile, is an iridescent dream. Depending on where you’re standing, you’ll see a different color each time. The Keepall is pretty opaque, but you can have peace of mind while traveling knowing the bag comes with a lock and key that goes around the zippers.
It’s an impossible task to pick one singular fashion moment in Sex and the City, or even a single designer luggage moment. The show had more than 94 episodes before ending in 2004. Since then, it's had three movies and returned to our screen as a reboot with And Just Like That. But back to the early Sex and the City days: One of the most coveted travel-friendly bags in the series was Carrie’s Gucci monogram double pocket belt bag.

Wherever you're headed—be it a bucket list trip across the globe or a lowkey staycation in your own city—you're going to need luggage. Minimalists and overpackers alike need durable and easy-to-carry suitcases and bags to safely transport clothes, travel accessories, and any souvenirs picked up along the way. As travel editors, we have high expectations for our gear—requiring that reliable, long-lasting bags accompany us on every journey.
Once you’ve made it all the way to New Zealand, you may want to ease up a little on the flying and find a more sustainable way to travel around the country. Riding New Zealand’s scenic trains is the best option in this case since it’s less harmful for the environment (train travel emits much less CO2 per passenger than flying), it’s reliable and efficient, and it will give you a front-row seat to the country’s amazing scenery. The best of Kiwi Rail’s route is the TranzAlpine train, a journey that take you right across the South Island, from the Pacific Ocean to the Tasman Sea, through the picture-perfect Southern Alps.
A couple is demanding that Singapore Airlines refunds plane tickets for their flight from Paris to Singapore because they were sat next to a dog that was farting, drooling, and "snorting" throughout the flight.
Did you know that on most airplanes, you can raise the armrest nearest to the aisle — the one that always seems locked in place — by pressing a tiny pin underneath, right next to the seat back? This little move has helped me wrestle my bag out of the overhead bin many times.
For the first time, a nation is allowing travelers to cross its border with a digital passport on their smartphone instead of a physical passport. While the trial is happening in Finland, the European Union wants at least 80% of citizens in the 27-country bloc to be using a digital ID by 2030.
This as-told-to essay is based on a conversation with Alan McKenna, the founder of Loch Ness Exploration, which recently undertook a major watch event searching for the fabled monster. The following has been edited for length and clarity.
As the days grow shorter and the evenings cooler, Labor Day Weekend in the United States marks a bittersweet moment: it serves as the unofficial conclusion to the summer travel season.
Miami needs no introduction. From beautiful parks and beaches in the day and a lively bar and club scene at night, to incredible Latin and Michelin-star restaurants and tourist attractions even locals love, there’s no shortage of draws to the Magic City and its 250-or-so days of sunshine a year.
As any true Ina Garten fan knows, the Barefoot Contessa has been associated with the Hamptons — the exclusive set of towns on the east end of Long Island, New York — for years.
It's an early spring morning in Milan. The cosmopolitan hub of Italy's north is awakening with a shot of espresso. Many are bleary-eyed after a whirlwind week celebrating the Salone del Mobile, the world's largest furniture-and-design fair. Outside Palazzo Serbelloni, I'm standing in a queue that's snaking around the neoclassical palace. If its weathered stucco walls could talk, they'd tell tales of the palazzo's notable inhabitants, including Napoleon Bonaparte and King Vittorio Emanuele II. Yet this crowd of international and local style setters and design aficionados (mostly in smart sneakers, not the suede loafers of yore) isn't searching for history; it wants to see something new. And Milan, which suddenly feels like the most forward-thinking city in Italy—a place of big ideas, investment, and innovation, busily spouting new subway lines, cutting-edge hotels, and infrastructure ahead of the 2026 Winter Olympics—is more than ready to oblige.
