Is the Airport Your Runway? Meet 4 Travel Bags That Marry Fashion and Function

Frequent flyers such as Bella and Gigi Hadid, Emily Ratajkowski, and Priyanka Chopra have mastered the art of effortless travel style. Indeed, there’s a strategic formula these stylish celebrities follow to ensure that they’ll look put together for the awaiting paparazzi. And yet, the secret to nailing an airport lewk is easier than one thinks: It’s all in the travel bag.

Whether accompanying nap-friendly athleisure or cozy knits to combat frigid plane temperatures, these four favored bags marry fashion and function while instantly elevating any plane look.

If you’re one to constantly run late for a flight—we’ve all had to dash through the airport!—a hands-free bag is a must. Just enough to fit a passport and other essential documents, a refined cross-body style, like Valentino’s V-Ring bag, channels Gigi’s go-to bag with a shape that is both polished and utilitarian. For the tech-obsessed, there’s the enduringly classic tote bag, which is perfect for bringing a laptop or iPad onboard. A modern shape in a neutral leather, like Chopra’s, goes with virtually any outfit.

For the over-packer, a roomier duffle bag may be the right investment; try a monogrammed style that doubles as a status item, like Bella, who was recently spotted carrying a vintage style by Louis Vuitton in a Takashi Murakamsi–drawn cherry print. Or, for the serious over-packer, a carry-on roller bag like Ratajkowski’s is well suited for long-haul trips—a minimal hard case, as mastered by Rimowa or Away, is stylishly built for getting beat up on the conveyor belt.
