It's finally time to start planning long summer weekends away, whether to the nearest sandy beach or the tree-filled countryside, and I'm vowing to make over my travel style so the commute is as elegant as it is effortless. First stop, my luggage. Duffel bags have proven to be the best carry-on for train-hopping and road-tripping, as they fit quite a lot, but not too much (even this editor suffers from over-packing syndrome), but my nautical-inspired canvas style has seen better days. Enter Corion, a European leather company, whose designer, Milica Stankovic, trained under the watchful eye of Jean Paul Gaultier and then at Jean Claude Jitrois. Stankovic's pieces are meticulously crafted, but smart in function. I fell hard for the chic black Casablanca duffel—which comes in either green or browning piping—first for its Old World glamour, but then for the thoroughly modern conveniences: the outside pocket is designed to fit the latest tablets, while the back pouch stores one's favorite paperback—a digital editor's perfect vacation mix.
