I’ve ordered more from Quince over the past year than I expected to. It started with the Mongolian cashmere crewneck. I wore it once on an overnight flight to Paris and was sold. It fit exactly how I wanted it to (oversized but not in a schlubby way), held up beautifully after hours on a plane, and somehow looked just as good at dinner the next night. Next came the matching cashmere track pants. Suddenly, I had a winter travel uniform (and let’s be honest, a weekend errand fit, too) that made long-haul flights significantly more comfortable.
Then it was a pair of linen pants for a trip to Mexico. And then I bought them in another color. Then came the matching linen shirts, some sheets, even caviar (caviar is a staple, after all). Those purchases were my gateway into Quince. Now, it’s become my go-to for travel essentials, especially luggage and accessories.
But beyond the cashmere and linen, Quince has become my go-to for travel pieces (including the luggage it all goes in). I fly somewhere almost every other week, so I’m picky about what earns a spot in my suitcase. Quince luggage is thoughtfully designed without feeling overengineered, the packing cubes actually create more space instead of adding bulk, and the smaller travel organizers solve the annoyances you don’t think about until you’re digging through your bag in an airport lounge.
Nothing feels gimmicky. Everything feels like it was designed by someone who actually travels. And, at this point, I’m buying Quince for other people (birthdays, holidays, etc.) almost as often as I’m buying it for myself.
From luggage to the little things that make life on the go easier, these are the Quince travel essentials I’ve personally bought, packed, and happily recommend.
Voyage Nylon Weekender
This holds an obscene amount of stuff. I generally travel with one carry-on suitcase and this large weekender. It leaves plenty of room for the things I inevitably bring home — shoes, jewelry, sweaters, and usually at least one handbag — without having to buy an extra suitcase or ship things back. I really love this emerald color — it masks scuffs and always looks nice with my cream or red suitcase.

Jewelry Box
I travel with two of these as I love to have an array of jewelry options — they dress up any outfit instantly. If I’m wearing basic jeans and a button up, I layer on necklaces and if I have a tee and pleated pants, I opt for stacked bracelets and rings. The compartments in this organizer keep everything in place and tangle-free, so I can actually find what I want instead of untwisting necklaces in a hotel room.

Dual Compartment Toiletry Bag
Hear me out. This is on the larger size, but it fits into my tote (see above) with ease. It literally holds everything I need for my face, hair, and shower, which includes: a face serum and lotion, heat protectant spray, air-dry cream, body lotion, razor, makeup, perfume, and more. The compartment underneath can hold brushes, tools, even a large claw clip.

Compression Packing Cubes
As someone who thrives on being super organized, I adore packing cubes. I simply cannot have my lingerie loose in my suitcase mingling with sweaters and dresses. Not everything is in its own cube, only underwear and bras, socks, silks (so they don’t snag against anything), and gym or swim attire. I can also use one to keep dirty laundry separate on my return.

Pouch Travel Set
As a lover of organization, I have several of these at my disposal to group plugs and chargers, hand lotion and sanitizer, and other immediate travel necessities. I also have a set in my work tote for commuting needs like makeup, perfume, and an extra phone charger. These also make great gifts for anyone in your life who likes to neatly put things away.

Passport Holder
You will inevitably need a passport holder to prevent your pages from accidentally becoming victim to getting bent, dog-eared, and otherwise destroyed by everything else in your bag. These are also my go-to gifts along with the Quince luggage tag set.

Large Check-In Suitcase
There are some trips where a carry-on just won’t cut it, at least in my case. If I’m heading anywhere for longer than a week, I prefer to have lots of options, especially if my trip involves any specialty hobby or adventure (e.g. skiing, safari, hiking, etc.). These expandable suitcases hold my oversized (compressed) parka and anorak, boots, and everyday wear, while also having room for souvenirs when flexed open.

Mongolian Cashmere Oversized Sweater
I have this now in oatmeal and navy. The fit is incredibly reminiscent to that certain designer brand we all know and love, but dare I say that this wears better? I am generally a size small but ordered a medium in the oatmeal to wear with the matching cashmere track pants, and my regular size in the navy.
