Luggage Sets Tips
Designer Luggage Sets
There's a classic movie scene where the glamorous diva or heiress arrives at a hotel with a stack of beautiful luggage, all perfectly matched. Well, you may not be a movie star, but you can have a little of that glamor for yourself with a matched set of designer luggage.
For a fun yet sophisticated look, try a Diane von Furstenberg luggage set with pink faux-lizard trim. Liz Claiborne's "Gracie" set is black trimmed with racy red. Oleg Cassini's "Charleston" luggage set includes subtle styling and deep, rich colors, while Pierre Cardin caters to style-conscious travelers of both sexes with attractive European looks.

Luggage Sets
Why buy luggage sets instead of individual bags? The answer goes further than just wanting everything to match. Luggage sold in sets is frequently much cheaper than buying the bags separately, and having a variety of luggage available makes it possible to share a set with your kids or spouse, or simply meet different travel needs as they come up.

International Traveller Luggage
eBags.com Tip: International Traveller's luggage sets range from two to five pieces, so you can find the one that fits your travel style. The luggage is lightweight for mobility and the polycarbonate siding makes it easily distinguishable on the carousel.
Another International Traveller luggage option is the (faux) suede bags in stylish, muted colors, with soft sides for flexible packing. Scuffed your suede luggage? Don't worry -- it's washable
A great International Traveller buy is the two-piece travel duffel set. One of the duffels is wheeled and the other is not, a perfect match for casual travel. Many travelers have found it to be a very decently priced set of luggage that holds up well with wear and tear.

How Many Pieces?
If you usually travel alone, you may not want more than two or three pieces of luggage. After all, why buy more than you can carry? A 3-piece luggage set -- typically a larger suitcase, a smaller suitcase and a carry-on -- is often enough for business travel and short vacations.
One exception is when you are traveling with someone else, such as a spouse or child, and can share (and carry!) a 6-piece luggage set between you. Of course, if you're able to attract an entourage to carry your bags, the sky is the limit!

Victorinox Luggage
eBags.com Tip: Pink is a popular and up-to-date luggage color, instantly visible on the baggage carousel or in the overhead bin. Victorinox Luggage, by the makers of Swiss Army products, have branched out into pink in a big way. For instance, women travelers seem to love the Werks Traveler 2.0 Deluxe Shopping Tote. Made of nylon with Teflon coating, it is sturdy enough to carry a laptop computer. It's part of a luggage set that includes an expandable wheeled upright and a cosmetic case.
Tourbach, a new line of Swiss Army luggage sets, takes sturdy to new heights. These bags are not cheap, but are worth it for the traveler whose baggage takes a beating.
