What to Look for When Buying Honeymoon Luggage

When it comes to investing in luggage for your honeymoon (or luggage for your next romantic trip), there are three things to consider: size, durability and style.

• Size: The best size luggage will depend on the type of honeymoon you're having. If you're opting for a coastal minimoon, a carry-on suitcase should do the trick (and be sure to pay attention to airline luggage regulations when purchasing!). A week-long trip to the Caribbean? Consider a checked bag instead. If your trip is longer or you're visiting multiple countries where you'll need to prepare for every kind of weather, it's worth thinking about buying a luggage set.

• Durability: Whatever the trip, you'll want a suitcase that'll last. Both soft- and hard-sided luggage can withstand being piled up with other bags in the cargo hold—but opt for a hardshell suitcase if you're packing something valuable. You may also want to consider the durability and ease of wheeling luggage. For example, a four-wheeled suitcase is slightly easier to roll through an airport than a two-wheeler.

• Style: Last, but certainly not least, you should consider the style of your honeymoon luggage. Do you want to have matching luggage sets? Or suitcases that are easy to spot on the baggage carousel? Some design decisions you'll need to make include the color of your luggage, whether it's hard- or soft-sided and whether you want it to include any inbuilt technology.

The Best Carry-On Luggage

Carry-on luggage is perfect for a minimoon. If you're flying to your minimoon destination, the size allows you to stow it in the overhead compartment so you can make a quick exit from the plane when you land—and the small size encourages you to pack lightly, which is always a bonus.

Away The Carry-On

Ever since it launched in 2015, Away has been our go-to for cool (and more importantly, practical) honeymoon luggage. Its carry-on suitcase is made from a durable polycarbonate hard shell, comes in seven dreamy shades and has an ejectable USB charger so you can charge your phone on the go—a smart choice for the frequent flyer.

Paravel Aviator Carry-On Plus

A retro design with a feel-good factor? Yep, this Paravel Aviator carry-on ticks all the boxes. It's made from a recycled polycarbonate shell, its interior lining is made from 15 upcycled plastic water bottles, and the brand tops off its green credentials by offsetting all of the carbon emissions generated from creating and shipping the luggage.

A little black suitcase is a must-have for any honeymooner. This Tumi luggage includes TSA-approved locks, a removable garment sleeve and an inbuilt tracer that can help you reunite with your bag if it gets lost.

There are 17 (!) hues to choose from, including light green, yellow, rose, coral and mango. It also has TSA-approved locks and an inbuilt clothes divider which will make packing so simple.

Louis Vuitton Horizon 55

Louis Vuitton luggage has long been a status symbol, and your honeymoon gives you the perfect chance to join the set. This carry-on suitcase is a modern twist on the classic as the iconic monogram is printed on a darker, ebony wood-hued background and it features matte black accents. So chic.

The Best Checked Luggage

Briggs & Riley Medium Expandable Spinner

A medium-size suitcase is ideal for those longer trips where only beachwear is required. If you're looking to pack more but prefer a smaller size, the technology in this suitcase allows you to increase packing capacity by 17% (so there's room to squeeze in that honeymoon lingerie).
