Louis Vuitton x Yayoi Kusama collection
Luxury travel brand Louis Vuitton has collaborated with Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama to bring a fun and colorful two-part collection to life. The first drop of the collection is here—with avant-garde influence and Kusama’s signature painted dots appearing on the brand’s iconic travel essentials, including luggage, trunks, backpacks, passport covers, handbags, and accessories as well as men's and women’s clothing. The collaboration features painted dots, metal dots, infinity dots, and psychedelic flowers—making each piece a unique investment item that is made to last for years. Among the collection is the Keepall 55, a favorite weekender bag of mine. You can shop the full collection here.
Wardrobe staples from Everlane
One of our most beloved travel brands, Everlane, launched its new canvas collection and we’re coveting nearly every piece. The line is full of versatile travel staples, like the parka, anorak, and comfortable organic cotton pants below. I’m particularly excited about the cotton jumpsuit—it’s easy to throw on and takes up less suitcase space than a two-piece outfit.
Lunya's washable silk in a fun new color
Traveler editors are no strangers to Lunya’s popular washable silk pajamas—in fact, the sets are a favorite of ours. The brand launched its washable silk sets in a limited-edition color, Crescent Lavender—a dreamy shade that’s perfect for both winter and spring. If you’re looking to upgrade your pajamas, these sets feel so elevated and are made to last without the fussy upkeep of other silks, thanks to the washable material. Plus, Lunya’s Mulberry silk is naturally thermoregulating, meaning it will keep you cool even if you run hot.
Supergoop!'s newest SPF must-have
Supergoop makes some of our favorite everyday sunscreens, and the latest drop from the brand combines both your SPF and skincare needs. The Daily Dose Bioretinol and Mineral SPF 40 is a gentle sunscreen that improves skin quality while preventing signs of aging and protecting it from harmful UV rays. The formula includes bakuchiol, collagen-boosting peptides, and antioxidants to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles all while giving essential protection from the sun. This mineral sunscreen with multiple benefits built in will make your AM skincare routine that much easier—and your Dopp kit packing list that more shorter.
Durable, waterproof travel bags
Experts in designing thoughtful hiking and travel bags, Osprey, launched its Arcane Waterproof collection featuring packs and duffels that will hold up against any weather conditions and adventures that come your way. The durable, waterproof duffel has attachments for travelers to secure on a roof, motorbike, or cargo bike; adjustable straps; and external and internal pockets for smaller items. Made of recycled nylon, this sustainable duffel can also be converted into a backpack for added versatility.
The waterproof Roll Top backpack is available in two different sizes—18 liters and 25 liters—and can be secured two different ways: with a metal hook closure or a magnetic closure. It features a breathable back panel, adjustable shoulder straps with a whistle, and an internal laptop sleeve.
Sheer acne healing dots
Here’s your new pre- and post-flight holy grail product. When a pimple creeps up, apply one of these sheer blemish patches that can be worn on their own or underneath makeup. They’re almost completely invisible on the skin, but work to treat acne with salicylic acid, retinol, and aloe vera. I like to pack minimal skincare products when I travel, and these sheets with 10 sheer acne healing dots take up virtually no space in my Dopp kit.
Cozy at-home essentials from Hill House
If you adore Hill House’s signature prints as much as we do, you’ll love the new Blue Trellis capsule collection. It includes new pajamas, bedding, and accessories (there are even a few for your furry friend). The pet tote, silk pillowcases, and cozy hotel-worthy robe are just a few of our favorite items from the latest drop.
Versatile travel pieces from M.M.LaFleur
In celebration of its 10th anniversary, M.M.LaFleur has launched a new collection of polished yet comfortable pieces that are reliable travel essentials, whether you’re headed on a business trip or just need some versatile items that can be worn on multiple days throughout a vacation. You’ll find timeless pieces like this classic turtleneck, fitted pants, and chic cardigan in our carry-on every time.
A gentle retinol serum
Traveling tends to leave our skin looking dull; adding a retinol serum to your PM skincare routine can help give your face the refresh it needs. Made with sensitive skin in mind, Summer Fridays launched a gentle serum with two forms of retinoids—retinol and retinyl linoleate. With key skincare ingredients like niacinamide, hyaluronic acid, and a blend of oatmeal and tiger grass, it works to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, improve discoloration, and promote anti-aging.
Everyday tote bags
One must-have every traveler needs: A go-to tote bag that fits a day’s worth of essentials. Australian luggage brand July makes one of our favorite weekender bags, so I was thrilled to hear about its new Everyday Tote. Available in a small and large size, these structured cotton canvas totes fit your laptop, wallet, snacks, and reusable water bottle in a detachable holder that keeps the bottle upright. This everyday bag is available in natural, black, navy, sage, and camel.
