J. Crew Collection Claire Box Luggage

I've been reluctant to cover luggage, largely due to the fact that other than small weekend trips, I don't travel all that much and therefore don't consider myself to be an expert on luggage pieces. Having said that, it doesn't take a guru to see that the Collection Claire Box Luggage from J. Crew is a must have for all travelers, short trips or long. The Norway-tanned leather bag features brass hardware, an exterior pocket and a decorative lock. The interior is lined in printed cotton and has an elastic strap to keep all your belongings where they belong. J. Crew's Collection Claire Box Luggage measures 12 x 17 x 5 inches and sells for $395. Besides the beautiful raison color shown, it also comes in light parsley.
