The warm and sunny weather slowly begins to wave goodbye as each day goes by, and many of us are keeping an eye on those cheap last minute end of season deals for a sneaky October sunny getaway - before the festive winter season suddenly and frostily smacks us in the face. 

With this in mind the MWS team have picked out 6 of the current best suitcases that money can buy.

Ted Baker Embark 

Ted takes to the air this season with the launch of his very first range of luggage. The hard-sided and ultra-lightweight polycarbonate trolly suitcase takes inspiration from the clean lines and structured tailoring of Ted Baker’s fashion collection and come complete with signature print designs and bespoke hardware with special Ted touches.

Globe-Trotter Centenary 

The Globe Trotter Centenary series is one of the most iconic and instantly recognisable designs of any suitcase in the world. This one is full of character and features a vulcanised fibreboard body with leather corners and straps. The leather trimmings are hand crafted from fine British hide on original antique sewing machines, giving an overall vintage and heritage look.
