The Best Bet
In a world populated by indistinguishable black nylon wheelie drones, high-end luggage maker Hartmann’s luxurious leather collection, augmented with zebra- or cheetah-print calf hair, is a sight for bored eyes. The 22-inch mobile traveler is just as durable as its utilitarian cousins and comes equipped with a removable (washable) canvas lining, a shoe bag, and a mini cosmetics case. A clear plastic case is included for added protection from the rough-and-tumble. (Prices for the collection range from $195 to $1,295; made to order at hartmann.com.)
