Before my trip to Paris a few months ago, I was scrambling to find a solid carry-on hardshell suitcase that could not only transport my wedding day ensemble but would also meet Air France’s notoriously stringent size requirements. I like to travel in style so I was looking for something that was cute and fun but also functional—especially with such precious cargo in tow. Instagram had been targeting me with ads for a new Australian luggage brand, July for weeks and upon checking out their ultra-chic options, I decided the brand’s Carry-on Trunk suitcase was the one. I should mention that this style is slightly over AirFrance’s size dimensions for carry-on luggage, but I made it through without a problem; even though I got lucky , I wouldn’t advise risking it if you’re looking to avoid additional fees.
Aside from its obvious beauty— the brand aptly describes it as “heritage trunk style with modern features”— with a sleek, glossy finish, this luxe suitcase offers far more than just good looks. The case is equipped with a built-in ejectable battery compartment with FastCharge USB-C,which came in handy many times during my vacation.
