No matter how prepared you think you are, traveling can easily spiral into a stressful experience. Many elements are completely out of our hands (weather, overbooking, maintenance, okay I'll stop here), but I have very strong thoughts about the things that are (quite literally) in our hands. Not all luggage is created equal, and July’s is top-notch.
I’ve long been a July fan, namely because the brand makes a Really Good Product. July’s founders launched the luggage brand after deep-diving into the market’s best-selling luggage and recognizing room for improvement on things like form-factor and materials. They launched the Carry-On first, and have continued growing the brand with a focus on style and function ever since:
More recently, July has expanded into soft goods, and they’re incredible for travel and day-to-day activities. The brand knows how to create a product that predicts exactly what you’ll need before you even realize it. Small details – a hidden QuickPass™ magnetic pocket, internal zipped pocket, machine washability – make a huge difference when it comes to your everyday essentials. These are some of my favorites:
It’s only fair that I start with the bag that takes me everywhere. I love this bag. It’s the perfect size for both everyday wear and travel days, with enough room to house essentials like your phone, keys, hand sanitizer and snacks, but not so big that it’s unwieldy. Beyond its functionality, its shape is adorable, and I receive endless compliments on the Butter Yellow colorway. The cherries on top (yes, there are multiple): its internal zipped pocket, machine washability and 5 year quality guarantee.

Searching for the best classic belt money can buy? Step right up. This everyday bag has a hidden QuickPass™ magnetic pocket for sensitive items, inside coating for easy wipe-ups, and a 100 day return policy if you want to confirm it’s the best belt bag ever (take our word for it, though). Dress it up, dress it down; wear it near, wear it far: it’s crafted for that.

I probably don’t need to sell you on a really great tote bag (especially when summer is around the corner), but I’m going to anyway (because this bag deserves the hype). This is not the freebie tote bag that’s crammed under your backseat. It boasts a perfectly-structured shape, dedicated laptop sleeve, luggage pass-through band, and detachable strap. Designed for work and play, it’s versatile, customizable, and machine washable. Pro tip: customize this tote for an incredible gift.

A bag as beautiful as it is functional, the Juliette Soft Fold Crossbody (and entire Juliette collection while we’re at it) is that bag. Looking glam on the go – and staying organized, too? We’re holding for applause.
