With summer fast approaching, plans for sunny getaways are well underway – after all, British weather is never a sure thing. Whether it’s a break in Cala d’Or, a city escape to Amsterdam or a girls’ trip to Ibiza, hand luggage is often the travel companion of choice thanks to skyrocketing luggage prices.
But with European airline rules stricter than ever, careful planning is key to maximise your space and avoid unnecessary fees at the airport. Thanks to Katie Loxton’s bestselling range of cabin bags, travelling with hand luggage doesn’t have to mean wheeling out your mum’s trusty old 90s suitcase or settling for a plain black bag that blends into everyone else’s.
The line-up is (mostly) airline-approved and perfectly sized for overhead cabin allowance. Combining elevated design with smart functionality, the brand’s stylish bags are designed to keep you looking good as you traipse through the airport.
Inside, you’ll find a spacious interior with clever compartments for easy organisation, plus a luggage sleeve that slips neatly over suitcase handles. A new detachable shoulder strap adds hands-free ease, while the option to add personalised initials gives each case a bespoke touch.
If that sounds appealing (and honestly, how could it not), we’ve rounded up our favourite Katie Loxton cabin bags, perfect for stylish travel.

Katie Loxton Oxford cabin suitcase
Crafted from smooth pebble vegan leather, the Oxford cabin suitcase features 360-degree wheels, a combination lock and a luggage tag. Every bit as practical as it is stylish, the retractable handle and top handle help you lift the luggage onto the security belt without putting your back out. Inside, compression straps keep your clothes and accessories organised.
Available in light taupe, black, mink, navy and cognac, every colourway is designed to be timeless and neutral enough that you’ll never get sick of it. At 53 cm x 39 cm x 21 cm, the suitcase complies with EasyJet, Wizz Air and Jet2 cabin allowances.
With a capacity of 40L, you’ll be able to fit plenty of hats, sandals and summer dresses inside. You can even opt for personalisation with embroidered or monogrammed initials, which is ideal for gifting, as this style also includes a complimentary gift bag with orders.
Katie Loxton Milan cabin bag
The Milan cabin bag comes in a wide range of colours, including taupe, cherry, black, deep rose, and slate blue, alongside suedette chocolate and mink. Inside, the elasticated pockets help keep all your essentials (like your passport, boarding pass and headphones) organised, while the fold-down sides ensure it meets cabin baggage restrictions. At 25 cm x 40 cm x 19 cm, it meets the requirements for a free personal item on EasyJet, Ryanair, Wizz Air, Jet2, TUI, British Airways and Air France flights.
Designed with a detachable shoulder strap and an innovative suitcase sleeve that slides easily over your luggage handle, travelling through the airport will be effortless. Crafted from smooth pebble vegan leather with a recycled polyester lining, the design is finished with luxe gold-tone hardware.
Like the Oxford cabin suitcase, this bag can be personalised with monogramming or embroidery and comes with a free recyclable, personalised gift bag.
