Whether you're taking flight to tour through Europe or setting sail on a weekend getaway trip to the islands, aside from resisting the urge to overpack, knowing which bag to pack all of your essentials is one the most important steps to traveling. To help you travel with ease and maneuver through those pesky airport bag policies, this week the Couture Team has put together a quick list of travel pieces ranging from weekend carryalls to checked bags to help you choose the most luxuriously practical piece to accompany you in wanderlust!

The Simple Weekender

For those short, yet much needed mini vacays, it's always encouraged to travel light. For trips that don't require every dress and shoe in your closet, we recommend breaking out this Gucci Guccissima nylon tote or the classic Louis Keepall for a bag that's spacious enough to to pack your swimsuit, heels, and best weekend jumpsuit yet compact enough to fit in the trunk of your car.

The Carry-On Companion

When it comes time to breakout the passport and head to the airport, sometimes it's can be a little tricky deciding which size luggage is going to adhere to those ever-changing bag dimension policies. When it comes to Louis Pegase luggage, the more popular choice amongst the well-traveled fashionistas, if choosing to fly with a carry on suitcase, any piece size 45 and under like this Pegase 45 Epi suitcase is typically a safe bet. For those trips that don't require a whole lot of luggage but do require a whole lot of Chanel, this Travel Ligne suitcase can also serve as the ideal luxury carry-on.

The Ideal Checked Suitcase

For those of us that can never be too prepared and haven't quite caught on the whole "traveling light" thing, the classic checked suitcase will always be the most satisfying option. Going up a few sizes from the carry-on Pegase Epi suitcase, the Louis Vuitton Pease 65 offers that classic rolling luggage interior that allows you to pack all of the necessities (and then some) without having to roll out a second bag.
