Sarah recommends choosing suitcases that have an "invisible" zip – or even no zip at all and makes some recommendations.

She said: "I think these suitcases from Monos are really really good and they are definitely more affordable than the likes of Away, Tumi, Rimowa."

She goes on to say that you do not need to buy a really expensive suitcase just have one that has "no zippers, or invisible zippers"

Also important is the material that the suitcase is made out of, she said: "Always go for materials like this that are really hard, rather than fabric because these are waterproof and that means your clothes aren't going to get damaged."

And the travel expert also recommends going for darker colours such as grey and black, because it is "harder to see the stains".

Sarah adds: "I would also go for suitcase brands that give me a lifetime warranty or at least five years."

And adds that she would "always go for a suitcase that is on wheels as it is much easier to move."
