Bric’s
For a bag that prioritises style without sacrificing function, our readers love Bric’s, which has been crafting travel bags and leather goods out of the Lake Como region since the 1950s. For their Bellagio case, the Italian brand has modernised the vintage-style travel trunk by adding practical features like a front compartment with a USB port, a zipped interior and four 360-degree spinner wheels.
According to our readers: the brand was ranked 2nd best in our Reader’s Choice Awards, with a score of 90.93
Price range: from £465.
Our pick: the four-wheel cabin suitcase.
Samsonite
Light and secure, Samsonite’s S’Cure range of luggage is a great budget-friendly option. The hardcase is light but sturdy, and comes with a three-point locking system. What makes these really standout are the colour options, seven in total including bright shades of red, yellow and blues, so they’re very easy to spot in a crowded airport.
According to our readers: the brand was ranked 9th best in our Reader’s Choice Awards, with a score of 88.96
Price range: from £97 for the cabin suitcases to £425 for the large check-in cases.
Victorinox
With functions inspired by the Swiss Army Knife, it’s no surprise Victorinox‘s cases are built to last. For a strong and spacious option, we love the large Lexicon hard-side case, featuring the latest advances in moulding technology plus a 100 per cent virgin polycarbonate shell, TSA-approved combination lock and super-recessed wheels that allow for more packing room. If you travel often and don’t pack light, this one is worth the investment.
Price range: from £275 for the cabin suitcases to £595 for the large check-in cases.
Our pick: the Lexicon hardside.

Our pick: the carry-on roller with the matching weekender bag.
