Italian craftsmanship and design have long been synonymous with luxury, quality, and style. This reputation holds especially true when it comes to travel, and at Bric's, we combine timeless aesthetics with modern functionality, ensuring every trip is as sophisticated as it is practical.

Choosing the right luggage is key for travelers setting off on long journeys. Whether you value flexibility, durability, or sleek design, our collections —crafted by masters in Italian craftsmanship—offer something for everyone. Here's your quick guide on which features to prioritize, top picks for long trips, and some hacks to pack like a pro.

Choosing Italian Luggage for Long Trips

Long trips require luggage that isn't just durable but also versatile and convenient to suit weeks (or months) of travel. Here's what to keep in mind when selecting your luggage for extended adventures:

Quality Materials and Craftsmanship

Italian craftsmanship shines through its use of premium and long-lasting materials like authentic leather, nylon, fabric, and polycarbonate. This last one is an eco-friendly option used for hard-case luggage like the Bellagio Collection, while softer bags, such as the X-Collection's, are crafted from lightweight, recycled fabric with leather trims. These materials look elegant and ensure durability, even under heavy use.

Practical Features

Small details make all the difference when you're living out of your suitcase. Our collections include essentials like 360° spinner wheels, expandable storage, TSA-approved locks, and convenient internal organization.

Size Options for Every Need

Long trips require a mix of carry-on and large check-in luggage. The Bellagio Expandable Spinner, for example, is available in multiple sizes (27”, 30”, and 32”), so you can find the perfect fit for your travel plans. Its expandable zip feature ensures extra space for souvenirs or last-minute packing.

Timeless Sophistication

With its iconic Italian leather trims and elegant silhouettes, Bric's travel gear effortlessly elevates your travel aesthetic. Whether breezing through the airport or unpacking in a luxury hotel, your suitcase should be as refined as your destination.

Tips for Packing Efficiently for Long Trips

Even with the best luggage, packing efficiently for an extended trip can sometimes feel like a puzzle. Here are our top tips to make the process easier and stress-free:

Start with a Checklist

When traveling for weeks, it's easy to overpack—or worse, forget something essential. Start with a checklist to ensure you haven't missed any important items, from clothing to toiletries and travel documents.

Plan Around Versatility

Stick to a neutral color palette and include versatile clothing items that can be layered or dressed up and down. This reduces the need to pack multiple outfits while allowing you to mix and match pieces.

Roll, Don't Fold

Roll your clothing instead of folding it to maximize space. This minimizes creases and saves valuable room for bulkier items.

Make Use of Compartments

Effective organization is key to hassle-free travel. Use the built-in compartments in your luggage to separate shoes, clothing, and accessories. Compression straps and packing cubes can keep everything secured and within reach.

Carry an Extra Bag

Duffle bags are ideal as an additional carry-on or for storing items you pick up during your trip. Plus, they double as stylish accessories!

Investing in high-quality luggage makes your trips more convenient and adds a touch of elegance to every stage of your adventure. Whether you're packing for a month-long or extended business trip, we have a wide range of pieces to fit every traveler's needs.
