We get so much more out of traveling than a few Instagram posts. From immersing ourselves into new cultures to making memories, the experience can be transformative — and that's the philosophy behind travel brand Nex , which creates luggage collections directly inspired by different destinations around the world. The company partners with local creators to channel the history of that specific location through visual design elements.
Nex's mission is to encourage people to live in the moment and enjoy the journey, instead of worrying about material things. The brand crafts minimalist pieces made from durable, quality materials that will integrate seamlessly into your adventures. Although there are plenty of luggage brands on the market, Nex offers more than just carry-on suitcases and bags.
The label also has perks to help those who want to travel more mindfully, from a rewards system to unique sustainability practices (more on those later). I tried out the Pioneer Carry-On Suitcase ($285) and the Journey Weekender Bag ($310) on a trip to Hawaii.

What I Like About the Nex Pioneer Carry-On Suitcase: The Pioneer Carry-On Suitcase features a sturdy, durable exterior made from a partially recycled polycarbonate with a luxe, velvety material on the inside. When I travel with hair tools or items that can potentially break while in transit, I usually wrap them in clothes for.
