Traveling With Your Luxury Bag: Tips From Our Advisors

Traveling With Your Luxury Bag: Tips From Our Advisors

Traveling with a luxury bag is a pleasure, if you plan ahead. Here are our advisors' tips.

Choose the right bag

  • A light, roomy tote such as a Goyard Saint Louis or an Hermès Garden Party for the plane.
  • A crossbody such as an Hermès Evelyne or a Chanel Wallet on Chain for sightseeing.
  • Grained leathers (Togo, caviar) are more resistant than smooth leathers.

Pack it properly

  • Travel with the dust bag and a light bag pillow to keep the shape.
  • Never check a precious bag in your luggage: keep it with you.
  • Use pouches inside to protect the lining.

Protect it on the go

  • Avoid rain and humid places, especially with exotic leathers.
  • Keep your bag closed and close to you in crowded areas.
  • Keep receipts and documentation for customs if you travel internationally.
