Traveling the world in style is not a new trend. But as travel has become more accessible for every budget, so have boring, tasteless luggage sets.
Luggage has come a long way from grandma’s vintage Samsonite (which is making a comeback). Modern luggage comes with a significant amount of practicality, from TSA compliance to spinner wheels to keep you moving so you don’t miss that connecting flight.

Hipsters are embracing high-class style with a reasonable budget and are helping out local businesses along the way. Considering cost, function, and fashion for the hipster in all of us, we've found the best vintage-inspired suitcases that are anything but boring.
