By now, you’ve probably realized that 90 percent of the things you bought over the years with the justification of "it's a long-term investment piece," weren’t quite investment pieces after all. I’ve been known to convince myself that I’d never tire of a pair of feathery, purple Manolo Blahnik heels that I spent what should have been my first month’s rent on. Alas, that “investment” lasted approximately one wear.

It’s safe to say that we outgrow certain shoes, bags, clothes — anything that's trending. I learned the hard way that a designer label doesn’t necessarily make something timeless. But over the years, I’ve found the one thing that has withstood the test of time are my travel accessories.

Related: The 17 Best Designer Luggage Brands

The Rimowa suitcase my dad passed down to me when I began traveling abroad on my own or the Missoni luggage tag I was gifted for high school graduation — these are the items I've found to be worthy investments that I’m still proud to own, and at some point, hope to pass down myself.

So whether you’re gifting a loved one or gifting yourself, invest in travel. Ahead, a round-up of the 10 best and most timeless travel accessories that are actually worth the money.
