Flying is so complicated these days that we're always on the lookout for a simple carry-on. That's why we're ready to pack up one of Incase's new pared-down Terra bags (from $49.95).

This eco-friendly line of carry-ons (tote, backpack, and computer case) employs lightweight padded material to protect your precious cargo. External passport-size pockets have large zippers for quick draws, and straps are cushioned for comfort; we dig the contrast of monochrome tweedy fabric against the poppy red interiors. Just because your style is grounded doesn't mean it can't be fly.

Every stylish piece of luggage we've ever owned has been roughed up, stained, and spit out by the brutal baggage-handling process. But over the years, we've made peace with the fact that only people who fly private own sexy suitcases. Until, that is, we discovered Tumi's new collection.

A partnership with motorcycle supremo Ducati has produced a new line of look-at-me, lipstick-red luggage (from $645) that's got more curves than a Diddy music video. The 360-degree wheels know how to take turns. And the polycarbonate ABS outer shell means that the bags are both thin and tough. Kind of like the biker chick we always wanted to be.
