Laxus Technologies Inc. (Headquarters: Naka-ku, Hiroshima City; Representative Director, President and Executive Officer: Keisuke Takahashi), which operates the brand bag sharing service "Laxus," is pleased to announce the "Top 5 Travel Bag Ranking" based on user data from our company, in conjunction with "Travel Day" on May 16th.
Following the major holidays in 2026, travel styles have shifted from "monogotoshōhi (owning things)" to "koto-shōhi (experiences)," and now to "smart sharing," including bags. This survey reveals real trends in "truly selected travel bags" that combine both practicality and photogenic appeal.
Travel Bag Usage Ranking TOP 5
According to our user survey, there is a demand for a hybrid of "storage capacity," "design aesthetic" that makes movements look elegant while traveling, and "functionality" that does not hinder long journeys.
Below, we explain the five noteworthy selections based on usage data.
No. 1: Louis Vuitton Keepall Bandoulière 45
[An unshakeable icon with overwhelming market share]
The 'Keepall Bandoulière,' featuring the brand's iconic Monogram canvas, garnered the most support in this survey. It is resistant to scratches and dirt, making it a truly "correct" choice for active travel. Its presence elevates a 1-2 day weekend trip, and its included shoulder strap's practicality makes it a popular choice across generations.

No. 2: Prada Medium Padded Re-Nylon Tote Bag
[Fusion of functional beauty and fashion]
Made from sustainable material recycled from ocean plastic waste, it is lightweight and water-repellent, allowing for worry-free use even in destinations with volatile weather. Its minimalist design blends into a wide range of scenes, from sporty airport attire to smart styles at travel destination restaurants.
[Recommended Scenes] Recommended for sightseeing primarily focused on "city strolls" in places like Karuizawa or Kamakura, where you want to move lightly. As it can be used without worrying about rain, you can enjoy outdoor-oriented trips with sudden weather changes without compromising a fashionable impression.
No. 3: Gucci GG Canvas Boston Bag
[A design symbolizing the return to classics]
This model is gaining renewed appreciation due to the focus on "vintage modern" through social media. The durable GG canvas material is easy to handle despite its heavy appearance, earning immense support from those who prioritize photogenic appeal in classic hotels and historic townscapes.
[Recommended Scenes] Perfect for trips that emphasize a particular worldview, such as strolling through historic towns like Kanazawa or Kyoto, or visiting cafes renovated from Western-style buildings. Its trunk-like appearance makes commemorative photos during your travels more dramatic.
No. 4: Celine Large Cabas Thais
['Lightweight, large capacity, trend' in perfect harmony]
This season, its use has rapidly increased, particularly for resort travel and shopping trips. The all-over logo design gives a light impression, and the thick textile material firmly supports heavy luggage during long journeys.

No. 5: Goyard Saint Louis PM
[The 'ultimate sub-bag' optimized for convenience]
Due to its overwhelming lightness, it is prized as a sub-bag to tuck into a main bag, or as a souvenir bag for the return journey. Its unique "Goyardine" material is foldable and maintains its dignity, making it adaptable to sudden changes in travel plans.
[Recommended Scenes] Recommended for international travel where luggage is expected to increase, or urban tourism primarily focused on department store hopping. Since it has enough presence to be a protagonist on its own, it can smartly handle "short outings" for dinner at your travel destination.
