For the ultimate traveler or for the Fashionista who feels the need to add designer luggage to their collection, Diane Von Furstenberg presents the Runway Luggage set, a four piece collection for all your travel necessities.

I was never familiar with the DVF Runway luggage, as I’m barely discovering the collection today. While browsing along all the travel accessories, I was surprised at the wide range of single items and their incredible sales price, but like most upsales, the complete set seems like a better deal for the price. Within the collection you’ll get a 29” Expandable Rolling Suitcase, the 26” wheeled case, the 21” Rolling Carry-on, and a 16” shoulder tote. So it’s quite a collection with a designer name slammed on it, I can only imagine the asking price for it. The retail price of this set happens to be a cool $1000, but right now you can find this for an extremely reduced price of $349.95!

Durable nylon twill and water/stain resistant fabrics make up these pieces. Available in Merlot (shown above) or in an Olive on Brown version, shop and receive free shipping on this set via: LuggageGuy

When it comes to all things handbags, how stiff is too stiff? Sure, sturdy bags are handy when you fear your essentials being all over the place or when you really want your bag to stay in one single spot. The sturdiest piece in my collection is definitely my Multicolore Trouville by Louis Vuitton, and it definitely keeps its shape. I can’t imagine owning anything stiffer than my Trouville, as it would practically seem like a hard travel case or something. Speaking of hard cases, anybody looking for one? I recently ran into the Pragmatic Black Leather Case by Diesel. I had no idea that tough brand Diesel makes hard cases for their collection, is that newly learned or simply old news?

This piece is purposely designed with a vintage feeling to it. Aged gold toned hardware and its silhouette give this an antique finish. A square shaped body with double short handle tops seems to me like really uncomfortable to carry everyday. What should you carry in it? Who knows, eventually its owner will find use out of this. If you’re not a fan of the exterior, maybe it’s light pink interior lining will change your feelings towards this case. Measuring 13” x 9” x 5” you can find this leather case for $450 over at: ssense

In need of a new suitcase for your Spring getaway? Check out the Globe-Trotter Vulcan Fibre Suitcase! Wait… Vulcan Fibre? What’s that? Well, I did a little bit of digging and it turns out that Vulcan Fibre is actually cotton fabric soaked in zinc nitrate. This material is ductile, hard, non-splintering, and almost horn-like. In other words, this stuff is EXTREMELY durable — and it only gets more durable with age! No wonder it was the material of choice for this suitcase! You won’t have to worry about this baby getting tossed around at the airport! But not only is this suitcase tough, it isn’t bad to look at either. I simply adore the hot pink color, the burgandy leather trim, and floral interior lining. I also love the chrome hardware, you can never go wrong with chrome hardware!

This suitcase is a pretty decent size, measuring 28″ x 17″ x 8″. And don’t worry about it being too heavy to lug around. This baby comes with wheels! So if you’re looking for a beautiful and functional suitcase, then head on over to Vivre Online Store and Catalog. Hurry though, this suitcase is part of the limited addition Candy Collection that is available exclusively at Vivre. It retails for $2,145.

Dior Homme Spring 2009 accessories have arrived and so far, I’m liking everything. They’re simple, sleek, and available for purchase via eLuxury (dot com).

First up is the bag for the man who isn’t afraid to carry the unusual; meet the Zip Top Shopper. I like how structured this shopper is and it’s obviously perfect for the man with many essentials. It’s a good size to carry books, a personal computer and more.

The Vertical Messenger Bag is a more common style and has a more casual look to it. It’s a bit low key, and the choice for the man who chooses to carry the standard style.

Don’t like the vertical look, how about the horizontal Asymmetrical Zip Messenger Bag. It’s unique, modern, and stylish. I’m digging the slanted pocket with zipper, the flat shoulder strap with push lock closure and all the other cool details found on this irregular bag.

The Patent Messenger Bag is perfect for the man who isn’t afraid of some shine. Crossover bands keeps this bag shut while it adds character to it as well.

Notice the circular detail found on these bags? They’re purposely made slits for your iPod cord to go through. Such a simple concept yet its neat and functional.
