Though when it comes time to pack, that can be another dilemma. Tearing up your room just so you can decide on what to pack can be a hassle and very time consuming. Yet the question remains, what luggage will you take to accompany with you on your journey? For many seasoned travelers, having luggage that is durable and spacious is more important than having style. With such a demand for versatility, more and more luxury luggage brands are starting to redesign their products. Some of the top leading brands include Louis Vuitton, Ralph Lauren, Tumi, Samsonite, Rimowa, Alfred Dunhill, Bottega Veneta, Globe-Trotter, Victorinox, and even sports car maker Porsche is making a statement. SinAs one of the well known leading brands for redefining American styles with fashionable menswear lines, Ralph Lauren has also expanded by implementing more womenswear, home collections, and travel accessories.
