One of the least exciting parts of traveling? The schlepping. It would be nice to be able to just teleport to our destinations without having to haul all of the stuff we need with us, but unfortunately, that just isn’t the case (yet). So in the meantime, the best way to minimize travel stress — and avoid killing your back before you even get there — is to start with a stylish, lightweight bag. Whether you’re heading out for just one night away or escaping for a week, scroll on for nine bags that will get you where you’re going without weighing you down.
Overnight stay
Paravel Stowaway
We’re kind of obsessed with this label and the way it’s cleverly reimagining travel gear. This twist on a classic suitcase has a collapsible interior, so it can store flat (inside a larger suitcase perhaps?) when you’re not using it.
