Before my trip to Spain a few months ago, I was scrambling to find a solid carry-on hardshell suitcase that could not only transport my wedding anniversary ensemble but would also meet the airline’s notoriously stringent size requirements. I like to travel in style, so I was looking for something chic 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-stylish options, I decided the brand’s Carry-on Trunk suitcase was the one.
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 has a built-in ejectable battery compartment with FastCharge USB-C, which came in handy many times during my vacation.
