Let's Talk Luggage
Tuesday, July 10, 2012 This year, I've carried one item that is a great conversation starter, especially at airports and hotels. "Where'd you get that?" "Love the color!" "I want it!" My purple rolling Lipault bag is the perfect carry-on and I've learned to pack for a week in it. Lipault is a French brand, but the bags are available online and at certain U.S. retailers.
I'm still looking for the perfect combination of luggage - I want a big black leather tote bag to carry all my magazines, books, paperworks, notebooks, iPad, computer, etc. And I want to find a great piece of bigger luggage that will last a long time. I'm eyeing Hartmann and Tumi. If you have a favorite piece of luggage, I'd love to know!
In Confessions of a Shopaholic, my favorite chick lit book, Becky Bloomwood says "Luggage! As I wander round the department, looking at Louis Vuitton suitcases and calfskin bags, I'm quite thrown. Why on earth have I never considered luggage before?...How can I have just blithely led my life ignoring an entire retail sector?"
Here's my purple Lipault on the patio of my room at Gwinganna Lifestyle Retreat in Australia.

Love reading your blog!
Thank you!! I've been shopping around and this looks like the perfect back AND at a great price!
I have a Briggs and Reilly suitcase that I L.O.V.E! Its got a lifetime warranty, regardless of how the damage got there - even if it was the airlines fault. They're pricey, but in the long, we thought it would be worth it and so far, it has. Love your bag! :)
