Travel Bags

Luggage for a life on the circuit — garment bags, cases and carry-ons for fashion travel.

This page collects travel bag and luggage resources for the trade — garment bags that keep suits and dresses pressed, rolling cases sized for sample lines, and carry-ons built for frequent flyers.

03 · BackgroundChoosing Bags for Trade Travel

Buyers and sales representatives travel differently: a sales rep hauling a sample line needs capacity and wheels; a buyer needs a garment bag that keeps a week's outfits usable and a carry-on that fits overhead bins on regional hops. Sample cases take the most abuse — reinforced corners, replaceable wheels and locks matter more than looks.

Garment bags remain the trade's signature luggage because apparel wrinkles. Modern versions fold suits and dresses around a padded frame and double as carry-ons on many aircraft.

QuestionsCommon Questions

What is a garment bag used for?

A garment bag carries suits, dresses and coats on their hangers inside a folding case, so clothes arrive wearable instead of folded and creased — essential for market weeks and show trips.

Should samples travel as checked luggage?

Valuable sample lines are often hand-carried or shipped ahead by freight. If samples must be checked, use hard-sided, lockable cases and carry the line list and order forms in your cabin bag.
