ROAD & TRAVEL Travel Gift Guide: Briggs & Riley Baseline Collection

Briggs & Riley Baseline Luggage
The newest Briggs & Riley luggage collect-ion, Baseline, has achieved the impossible – it’s got us smiling during treks through the terminal. Lightweight but sturdy and loaded with packing pluses like handy side com-partments and clever design, there’s no doubt that it was built to last; and to prove it, every piece comes with a lifetime guarantee. Our favorites are the 26" Upright Wheel-ed Duffel – which makes lugging and loading a breeze with its Outsider Handle (and offers a suitcase-like bottom that unzips for wrinkle-free dressy duds) – and the Compact Toiletry Kit that’s waterproof, hangable and foldable for easy carrying. All 45 pieces are available in black, crystal or olive fabric; pretty to look at and perfectly essential. Visit Briggs-Riley.com for more information.
