The Strellson at 69 Belmont

This cracked-leather bag is perfect for hipsters with a penchant for faux-vintage. There’s nothing like a carry-on that looks like its weathered more voyages than a gaggle of carnies. This bag offers all the worldliness without the caramel corn and questionable hygiene of the aforementioned species. Fine detailing and a slight sheen to the leather make this a fashionable accessory, whether you’re a starving artist or an i-banker on Wall Street.

Flossing With Gucci

If you’re a fan of conspicuous consumption, it doesn’t get much more obvious than a bag with Gucci emblazoned across it. Even the most out-of-touch hermits will probably know that you’re kind of a big deal. While their latest collection of carry-ons is extensive, the Carry-on Duffle with Signature Web Handles is ideal for those taking a weekend away in the Hamptons or heading to Aspen for a bit of snowy fun. The trademark Gucci crest on the bag is bold and lets others know you’ve arrived and they should bust out the Veuve for you. Interior pockets are perfect for stowing your Blackberry and iPod. The bag retails for about $625.

Louis Vuitton Sac Sport Lune

This new bag from Louis Vuitton is perfect for a weekend getaway. Do things in style and leave your knapsack behind. This handy carry-on is made of Damier Lune canvas and complete with brown leather and ivory suede. All metal pieces are authentic, aged golden brass and the leather shoulder strap means you can throw the bag over your shoulder or wear it across your body. A luggage tag where you can scrawl your contact info ensures that no one will steal your bag (oh, who are you kidding?) and a padlock will prevent airline security from rifling through your goods.
