Antler: an iconic British luggage brand and favourite of both our editors and readers. Its Clifton cabin case with pocket is a go-to for us for work trips, and we’ve avoided baggage fees on weekends away by squeezing three days-worth of items into the Mary Poppins-esque Chelsea overnighter (with the addition of some packing cubes , of course). But there’s another bag in Antler’s Chelsea range that’s become a hit in the Traveller office – including with our senior visuals editor, who’s even taken hers to the Maldives: the classic Chelsea Backpack .
Black Friday sales seem to start earlier and earlier each year, and despite the official date being 29th November 2024, the Antler Black Friday luggage sale has already launched. The good news? This top-rated Chelsea Backpack , and our go-to for in-flight ease, is part of its site-wide 30% off sale . Shop our favourite suitcases, handluggage bags and luggage sets , or browse iterations of the best backpack for travel below.
This bag has a 16.5” laptop pocket with an additional tablet slip, a water bottle side pouch, and a zipped front pocket with a card sleeve. There’s also a removable packing pocket for shoes and/or a change of clothes, which is great for keeping muddy trainers or a sweaty gym kit away from the rest of your gear.
Essentially, there’s a dedicated feature for each of your daily essentials. But a couple of other elements elevate the Chelsea from a commuter bag to a clever carry-on : internal compress.
