There's nothing like a good piece of luggage

When traveling, especially through airports, it certainly helps to have a quality piece of luggage--one that features wheels that roll really well and sturdy construction so you know your valuables are secure. Or is it more important to be fashionable, sporting the season's freshest colors and patterns? If your bag comes from Kipling, you won't have to choose, because each piece incorporates both.

On our last trip, we tried the New York ($250) from the Basic Collection. Perfect for our three-day excursion, this stylish bag features two zippered exterior pockets and four inside ones. It has smooth rolling wheels and a locking handle for easy maneuvering. Of course, it boasts the brand's signature nylon, ensuring lasting durability.

The New York is available in six solid colors--red, true blue, blue jean, black, lilac, and ebony brown--and one print. For more information, visit www.kipling.com.
