For some, travel is to discover, to go the extra mile, to chart the uncharted, for others it means to escape the ordinary, to go far away to escape their routine & create memories! But there are a lot of people who travel for work, regularly with the trips being short, hectic. Shopping for the right kind of luggage can be quite a hassle, especially when you're looking for lightweight options, that are trendy but not over the top.

Packing light and carry everything that you need is an art that many of us lack. Just like any painting that requires the right colours, your carry on is a canvas that needs the right pick.

At times you might wonder, why your trolley can't accommodate things the way someone else's can. Hard-shell, nylon, soft-shell or canvas? Which one to pick and why? Hard-shell luggage is always reliable when it comes to keeping things in a compact manner, while the rest make a classy impression and can be easily thrown in anywhere.

We understand you are spoilt with options, but we have a list that brings the best to enhance your travel experience.
