When I look for souvenirs of my travels, I mostly shop for specialty food items (we’re still enjoying the fancy tins of sardines from our stop at the new Bonne Marché gourmet emporium in Paris last summer). But, on a recent family trip to Maui, I was seduced by a suitcase.
It’s called "the Diplomat," and it’s by Steamline Luggage, a range started by a female fashion entrepreneur looking for something more stylish than Samsonite. As I type this, it’s back ordered, as each gorgeous cream-and-tan leather specimen is made to order. I hope to have it in my hot little hands by the time this issue drops, at which point packing it for my next escapade will be sheer pleasure.
After all, in a world of lineups, cramped seats and delays, it’s nice to know one thing about my trip will be perfect. —Sarah Bancroft
