Travel Gear

Oh yes my children, it is the time for Spring 2006 Vogue and Couture galore! Before we continue with ecstatic outbursts of joy and excitement over luscious bags from the biggest names in the biz, I would like to take a moment to point out this pink croc mini-suitcase as presented by Prada in Paris. My eyes undergo orgasmic spasms staring at this piece, no doubt you’ll get double-screened and strip-searched at the airport due to this dangerous hotness!

* I just saw that Bag Crazy also found this beauty! Great minds think alike

Recently I’ve become quite the world traveler. Jetting within the States or all over Europe. Hey, I’m not going to complain. I love it. But what I do know is when you have a short weekend get-a-way or just a short over night trip, you need the perfect little bag to hold an outfit or two and some other “stuff”. It always seems so hard to find a cute and easy travel bag. For a while I toted a Juicy Couture Bowling Bag as my carry on on airplanes or on short weekend trips, but after getting so much grief from my brothers I began buying far too many oversized bags and simultaneously began my search for cute and practical over-nighters. This is why I am lovin’ this Escada Travel Bag I just found.

Just blame it on my being blonde but I was not fully aware that Escada was big into handbag making. Actually, I’m not that air-headed, because they are not. But they are growing on their handbag endeavor and I am digging it. This travel bag holds everything you may need for your journey and can easily fit under the seat in front of you (for you frequent flyers like myself out there). What I find to be really cool is how this unique bag can be rolled up so that it takes up little space when it’s not needed for traveling. Kind of looks like a yoga or Pilates mat. Which reminds me, I need to get back into my Pilates classes. Ok let’s leave tangents out of this. Anyhow, the Escada Travel Bag is available exclusively from the E-SHOP, in dark-brown canvas with a pink soft leather strap.

Unfortunately the site does not offer more of an explanation with details about the material and size and such, but I am just going by looks and brand and thinking it would be worth the $ 204.06 (price for shipping to the US) on the Escada E-Shop.

We all travel. And we all carry luggage. The thing about luggage is that usually we don’t think about it as a fashion statement; beleive me, it is. Have you ever thought about how many people you pass from airport to airport, not to mention picking up your luggage at baggage claim. Do you want to be that person picking up the unmatching, worn in, ugly baggage or the one who everyone watches picking up your matching LV baggage? I damn well know I’d love to be envied, rather than pitied.
Do us all a favor, trash the old stuff and buy yourself some totally trendy luggage.

I suggest the totally obviously hip Louis Vuitton Annette luggage on wheels. For a short weekend trip, this will do the trick. The bag allows for easy travel and sports the LV black monogram canvas with leather trim, sturdy noiseless wheels, and a double zipper with a pretty spacious inner compartment. The bag is not huge, but can be used as a carry on bag and fit nicely overhead so you can avoid baggage claim, which is alwaya a huge plus. As with any other Louis Vuitton bag the price isn’t cheap, but who cares if you can look that good. Goes for a steep price tag of $1,780.
