There’s something about the right bag that makes even the most routine trip feel like a fun little adventure. And although not every day is glamorous, the right travel companion can make it feel like so, anyway.
That’s exactly the kind of energy brands like BASH* Manila brings with their stylish and practical bags and suitcases. Their newest collection, Aftergloss, is proof that practicality and style can co-exist—and in equal measure, at that. They’ve shown us that the right bag can not just make your trips (and your life) easier, it can also perk you right up with how fun and cute they are to be brought around. Though they’re known for their luggage, BASH has dabbled into crafting traveler-friendly organizers and bags all made with ease, comfort, and style in mind.
So whether you’re a first-time traveler looking for a start to your packing, or a busy young adult looking to be more organized, check out what makes for great carry-alls right here.
ROLLING OUT IN STYLE
Gateway Luggage In Gloss
You can’t go wrong with hard-shell luggage. In the Aftergloss collection, BASH reinvents their classic Gateway luggage in high-gloss, desert-inspired colorways that are eye-catching without being too loud. It opens from the front, which makes for packing and unpacking in smaller spaces easier, since the entire suitcase doesn’t need to open up. Hard-shell luggage keeps your items secure, is easy to clean, and just looks so modern and polished. You’ll easily be able to tell which one’s yours on the conveyor belt.
WORK AND PLAY
Weekday Backpack and Tote
You don’t have to be a frequent traveler to cop a bag that can handle all your everyday needs. Whether you’re clocked in or getting that degree, commuting or jet-setting, a big, reliable bag could very well be your best friend. The best kind of big bag is one that can fit all your essentials safely—you just throw them in there and go about your day.
Backpacks are obviously a more ergonomic choice, and there are some great backpacks out there that can complete an outfit rather than disrupt it. But if you’re more of a tote enjoyer, one that’s spacious as it is stylish just adds to its appeal. Not to worry, though, because you have options right here (and they’re water-resistant, too!).
ON-THE-GO ESSENTIALS
Weekender
Ever get tired of lugging old duffel bags or backpacks on weekend trips? We know we do, and it’s amazing how a dedicated short-trip bag can make our lives just a little bit easier. Though not part of the new Aftergloss collection, the Weekender is the type of bag you never thought you’d need but did. Dividers, pockets for all the essentials, short and long straps—those are the kind of stuff that makes packing (and unpacking) a breeze.
ORGANIZED CHAOS
Packing Cubes
From packing cubes to pouches, little organizers can keep you from being frazzled on trips or during your everyday runs. Don’t knock on their functionality—once you’ve used them, you won’t want to go back.
You can cop items from the BASH Manila Aftergloss collection on their website, as well as on Lazada, Shopee, and TikTok Shop.
