Le Travel Store

This family-run travel store from San Diego, California, offers travel gear, luggage, and accessories for world travellers. Featuring luggage by Eagle Creek Travel Gear, and books by the Rough Guide and Lonely Planet, this site has the effect of making you want to depart on an adventure trip immediately.



The site is very easy to navigate and offers lots of luggage products, from wheel-away bags to duffels, with large clear photos so you can tell what you're buying. International orders can be made by phone or email. Orders will be confirmed by email and anything sent overseas will be air-insured. Bear in mind that international buyers have to pick up both the tax and customs duty when items arrive from abroad.

COMMENTS
A very lively online travel store with a personal touch. So much so that site visitors may find themselves tempted to pick up the phone and talk to the couple who own the store, after reading their riveting life story and viewing pictures of travel en famille.
