This Instagram-Famous Carry-On Is the Perfect Blend of Form and Function
I gave in to the July Instagram campaign and I was not disappointed.

Before my trip to Spain a few months ago, I was scrambling to find a solid carry-on hardshell suitcase that could not only transport my wedding anniversary ensemble but would also meet the airline’s notoriously stringent size requirements. I like to travel in style, so I was looking for something chic but also functional—especially with such precious cargo in tow. Instagram had been targeting me with ads for a new Australian luggage brand, July, for weeks, and upon checking out their ultra-stylish options, I decided the brand’s Carry-on Trunk suitcase was the one.
Aside from its obvious beauty—the brand aptly describes it as “heritage trunk style with modern features”—with a sleek, glossy finish, this luxe suitcase offers far more than just good looks. The case has a built-in ejectable battery compartment with FastCharge USB-C, which came in handy many times during my vacation.

Of course, it’s also designed with a slew of other elevated design features, including a built section for dirty laundry that actually keeps your clean and soiled close separate from one another, extra secure latch locks that stay put, and SilentMove wheels which, as the name suggests, are ultra-quiet—even when you’re sprinting to make a flight—trust me!
July Carry-on Trunk Suitcase
I went with the glossy “light sand,” shade, which looks more like a peachy blush.
You can also get your July carry-on (or other July luggage models) personalized with the engraving of your choice. I opted out of the engraving because it does cost an extra $50, and the brand was kind of enough to offer me the sample for free but in retrospect, I do wish I had added a personal touch. Personalized or not, July’s Carry-on Trunk is hands-down the most beautiful piece of luggage I’ve ever seen in this price range and the ideal choice for your next trip.
