With travel becoming increasingly accessible to a wider range of consumers, the December 2019 travel trends reveal major innovation when it comes to luggage.
For consumers that travel frequently for work, there have been a number of brands that have aimed to make more business-friendly luggage. For instance, Away recently debuted its new Expandables suitcases, which combines the flexibility of a duffel bag and all the portability of a rolling suitcase.
Beyond business-friendly bags, the December 2019 travel trends have also revealed new innovations when it comes to rugged luggage. For instance, the Roark Mule 55L Bag was specifically designed for off-grid travelers with space for up to five days of gear inside. Similarly, the Mystery Ranch Saddle Peak Snow Pack features a heavy-duty Carbonite coating that can stand up to winter activities such as skiing.
