Travelpro® x Travel + Leisure® Hardside Luggage
Designed for the frequent traveler, the collection's hardside luggage can be mixed and matched with any soft companion bag, allowing for endless packing possibilities, coupled with a cohesive look and feel. Made with an ultra-strong but light polycarbonate shell and Zinc metal corner guards, each suitcase flexes with impact to protect everything inside, while genuine leather accents provide an elegant distinction. The three available colors – White Sand, Monaco Blue, and Whistler Grey – are bold yet sophisticated, chosen to keep up with ever-changing fashion trends and were inspired by popular travel destinations. 

The Compact Carry-on Expandable Hardside Spinner and the Carry-on Expandable Hardside Spinner are perfect for any trip – whether it be a close-to-home road trip or a cross-country getaway. For longer trips, the Medium Check-in Expandable Hardside Spinner and the Large Check-in Hardside Trunk Spinner, a new silhouette offered with the collection, keep contents safe and organized.  

Travelpro® x Travel + Leisure® Soft Companion Bags
Fashioned with superior, classically patterned fabrics and genuine leather accents, the ultra-durable and fashionable soft companion bags allow for effortless, elegant travel. Each bag can be interchanged with any of the hardside luggage or used independently, giving users endless packing possibilities that will look stylish for years to come. In addition to White Sand, Monaco Blue, and Whistler Grey, each item also comes in one extra color, Black Diamond. 

Whether hitting the road or the treadmill, each of the soft companion bags come in handy. The Drop Bottom Weekender and the UnderSeat Tote are perfect travel accessories, fitting just enough to get you there and back. For the digital nomad looking for something more flexible and compact, the Slim Backpack, Women's Convertible Tote and the Convertible Backpack provide all the benefits of a backpack or tote in one bag. 

"We're thrilled to team up with Travelpro® to debut this versatile collection that I'm sure our readers will love as much as I do," said Jacqui Gifford, Editor in Chief of Travel + Leisure®. "From the modern design and carefully curated color palate to the standout craftsmanship, this new line is all about bringing style and ease to every trip, as travelers begin to get out there and explore the world once again."

Backed by Travelpro®'s Built For A Lifetime Limited Warranty and its Trusted Companion promise, travelers will be protected from functional defects for the life of the bag, as well as carrier damage for the first five years of the warranty duration for the hardside spinner models and for one year of the warranty duration for the soft companion accessories.
