Investment pieces take on many forms but in my opinion, they should all have one thing in common: A long shelf-life that will make you return to them again and again. That can look different in everyone’s wardrobe depending on whether you gravitate towards shoes, bags, or sunglasses. Right now, the next investment piece I’m personally interested in adding to my wardrobe is a great designer duffle bag that I can use for future travels—the ultimate piece to use as a carry-on or weekend tote.
Looking at celebrities and fashion insiders, there are specific bags that are winning out for the airport. Designers including Louis Vuitton and Gucci have iconic monogram styles, while brands such as Bottega Veneta and Métier have more pared-back, logo-less versions so there is a bag that is sure to work into your wardrobe, regardless of your personal style. Ahead are the five designer duffle bags that are popular with the fashion set.
Métier Perriand Bag
London-based Métier is carving out a strong reputation for its expertly crafted travel-inspired leather bags. The rising brand has caught the eye of celebrities such as Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, who has been spotted recently wearing the Perriand tote which is finished with signature braided handles.
Louis Vuitton Speedy Bag
One of the most iconic designer duffle bags in existence? The Louis Vuitton Speedy bag. While the monogrammed version might be the most recognizable, it also comes in a checkered print as well as epi leather
Gucci Duffle Bag
Gucci is another brand that has perfected the monogram duffle bag, making it a mainstay amongst the travel set. Its version is finished with the historic GG Supreme logo print with pieces with mix canvas and leather.
Bottega Veneta Intrecciato Bag
Bottega Veneta's signature intrecciato finished the brand's duffle—making the logoless bag the ultimate "if you know you know" to those who recognize the woven leather technique. Celebrities including Kendall Jenner have the bag in their travel arsenal.
The Row Iowa Bag
The Row has perfected restrained minimalism—one of the many reasons the brand is a poster child for the quiet luxury movement that is gaining traction right now. If you're interested in tapping into that restrained elegance, look no further than the Iowa bag.
