BACK ON THE ROAD

BACK ON THE ROAD

Yes, I’m back on the road again. This time? Tokyo. It’s the second time in a month I’ve hit this city, and for those who know me well—and you absolutely should by now—you know that I am a HUGE bag geek.

 

The right gear makes the difference between an ordinary trip and an experience. Lately, I’ve found my essential duo, the bags that make every airport check-in feel a little more like a scene from a movie:

  • The Attico, "Passeggiata Large"

  • The Globe-Trotter: My absolute road warrior. This one has gone with me everywhere over the past year. It’s already got the scuffs and the stamps that tell the story.

 

These two are the perfect contrast—new luxury meets old-school durability. Many more trips to go with this pair.
