There are many schools of thought on luggage. There’s the steamer trunk approach, which works best if you’re bringing along a personal porter, but there’s also the international-man-of-intrigue approach. That calls for something that’s a little more rugged, a little less refined and handles a lot better being thrown onto a moving train.

After a refined J. Crew collab, British luggage shop Globetrotter is teaming with the streetwear brand maharishi for a less stodgy suitcase. The last time we heard from them, they seemed stuck in the old world of trans-Atlantic sea voyages, but this one looks entirely globalized. It won’t fit quite as much, but you’re better off traveling light anyway.

Unfortunately, the only way to get your hands on it is through this CITY Magazine photo contest. Better get snapping.

The backpack has gotten a bad rap over the years. (No, not that kind of rap.) Usually relegated to hikers and grade-schoolers, it may be due for a revival. After all, true style rises to the occasion, and you don’t want set off into the tropical wilderness with an Italian leather duffel. (For one thing, you’ll ruin the finish.) Not all travel is created equal, and a little utility is nothing to be ashamed of.

This pair is from our old friends at Penfield, who most recently were bringing us some much-needed flannel. Put the two together, and you’re pretty much set for that weekend excursion to Maine.
