Set Your 2026 Travel Goals

As a new year approaches, it brings with it the promise of fresh starts and new adventures. For the discerning traveler, this is the perfect time to set meaningful intentions for the journeys that lie ahead. Moving beyond simple destination lists, the most rewarding travel goals are those that refine our approach to exploring the world. They challenge us to travel more thoughtfully, invest in quality, and adopt sustainable practices without compromising style.

This guide is designed to inspire your New Year travel resolutions for 2026. We will explore four key goals that can transform your travel experiences, making them more seamless, stylish, and sustainable. Each resolution is paired with recommendations from the Bric's collection, demonstrating how the right travel companion can not only meet your needs but also elevate your journey. Whether you plan to travel lighter, brighter, or further, begin 2026 with the intention to travel exceptionally.

Resolution 1: Travel Lighter and Smarter

One of the most common travel resolutions is to master the art of packing light. Over-packing leads to heavy bags, excess fees, and unnecessary stress. By curating a more streamlined wardrobe and choosing versatile luggage, you can move with greater ease and focus on the experience itself. The key is to select pieces that are both lightweight and intelligently designed.

For those committed to traveling lighter, the Taormina Collection offers a sophisticated solution. Crafted from ultra-lightweight polycarbonate, it delivers robust protection without unnecessary weight. Genuine leather details add a touch of elegance, while smooth, silent wheels ensure effortless maneuverability through bustling airports and city streets. The expandable interior brings added versatility, allowing you to adapt your packing as needed. To further enhance organization, our packing organizers are indispensable. These elegant accessories enable you to neatly organize your belongings, making it easy to find what you need without disorganizing the rest of your suitcase. For weekend getaways or as an addition to your carry-on, our signature X-Collection provides lightweight, here are some specific recommendations for short trips duffles, weekenders, and backpacks.

Resolution 2: Invest in Lasting Quality

Fast fashion has a counterpart in the travel world: poorly made luggage that fails after only a few trips. This year, focus on investing in pieces that are crafted to last a lifetime. High-quality luggage is not just a purchase; it is an investment in reliability, timeless style, and peace of mind. Durable materials, meticulous craftsmanship, and thoughtful design ensure your travel companions will withstand the rigors of frequent journeys.

At Bric's, our commitment to lasting quality is woven into every piece we create. The Bellagio Collection, with its full-grain Tuscan leather trim and durable polycarbonate shell, embodies this philosophy. It combines classic Italian elegance with modern engineering, resulting in a suitcase that is both beautiful and resilient. Similarly, the Life Pelle Collection, crafted from supple, vegetable-tanned Tuscan leather, develops a rich patina over time, telling the story of your travels. Choosing Bric's is an embrace of our heritage, a promise of quality that has defined our brand since 1952.

Resolution 3: Embrace Sustainable Travel

As global awareness of environmental responsibility grows, so does the desire to travel more sustainably. This resolution extends beyond offsetting carbon footprints; it also encompasses the products we choose. Opting for durable, eco-friendly luggage reduces waste and supports a more conscious approach to consumption. Investing in high-quality pieces that you will use for years is an inherently sustainable act.

Bric's is committed to creating products that help you travel more sustainably without sacrificing style or function. Our range of recycled luggage highlights this mission: the X-Collection is made of durable, recycled, water-resistant fabric and finished with genuine Italian leather details, offering lightweight, flexible designs for every journey. For those who prefer hard-shell protection, our durable cases are built from recycled polycarbonate, combining responsible material choices with dependable strength. By choosing luggage made from repurposed materials, you support a more environmentally conscious way to explore the world—making your adventures not only memorable but mindful as well.

Resolution 4: Explore New Destinations with Confidence

The thrill of travel is often found in the discovery of new places. Whether you are planning to trek through remote landscapes or immerse yourself in the culture of a foreign city, your luggage must be versatile enough to adapt to any environment. A well-chosen luggage set ensures you are prepared for any adventure, providing the right combination of size, functionality, and style for your 2026 travel goals.

Our collections are designed to be mixed and matched, allowing you to build a set that perfectly suits your travel style. With features like expandable compartments and organized interiors, you can pack for any occasion with confidence.
