Db's premium luggage carry-on is like a vault for your valuables. With its tough-as-nails aluminium frame and ultra-smooth Japanese Hinomoto 360° wheels, the Ramverk Pro glides through airports like it's on a mission.

It's the kind of over-engineered Scandi design that makes you wish the journey was longer. ₹60,000, dbjourney.com

The ultimate one-bag travel companion for tech-savvy adventurers, the GlobeRider35's clamshell design opens flat for easy packing, while its plethora of admin pockets keeps your cables and gadgets perfectly organised.

Weighing less than a can of fizz, the Vanish is a masterclass in minimalist engineering. This featherlight duffel packs down to nothing, ready to be deployed for extra gear or souvenirs.
