With more frequent, shorter trips being made by Gen Zers and millennials, and return-to-the-office policies on the rise, consumers are looking for more from their luggage and bags.

Smarter Bags & Suitcases

With global tourism on track to recover to pre-pandemic levels and more employers implementing return-to-office policies, both travellers and commuters are seeking more from their luggage. Whether equipped for charging on the go, super-efficient packing or enhanced safety and security, manufacturers are raising the bar with smart add-ons.

Sustainable Sojourners

Seeking to minimise their environmental impact, brands are highlighting the eco-friendly features of their luggage. While many companies already offer lifetime repair guarantees, some are taking things a step further with post-consumer recycled materials and circular designs.

Statement-Making Style

Travellers hoping to stand out in the style stakes – and easily spot their belongings on the luggage carousel – are looking to luxury brands, fashion-forward collaborations and personalisation to fulfil their aesthetic desires.
