A busy travel writer is always looking for anything that can make her mobile lifestyle a little bit easier, from electronics to clothing and footwear, and more. That goes for her bags, too, which must be sturdy enough to withstand the constant manhandling, changes in temperature, frequent openings and closings and … well, you know the drill. And is it too much to want them to look good, too?
I found the best of all worlds with my new pieces from the Fab Fly Luggage Collection.
Stylish, functional and fun and designed with a cool retro look, each of the Fab Fly pieces offers a spin on traditional luggage – confident yet relaxed. One of my favorites is my bright red Trek carry-on, with its spacious interior compartments and contrasting white nylon strap that snaps vertically around the case. For longer trips that necessitate packing layers for unpredictable weather, I love my midnight blue Voyage Upright case. Like the Trek, it’s lightweight, constructed of an amazing polycarbonate exterior with 360-degree wheels. And the baby blue nylon strap helps distinguish it down in baggage claim. Both have extendable handles and include a combination TSA approved lock.
My paperwork, note book, cell phone and accessories all go in the Assignment Bag, a far cry from a briefcase, super-slick and made of resilient nylon twill. With a contrasting sewn-in vertical strap and lots of hidden pockets and zippers, it’s offered in a choice of black, navy or bright red; it will get you off the plane and on to the jet bridge quickly!
And then there’s the Spruce Pouch for freshening up on the fly – a toiletry case with numerous pouches and a hook to hang your cosmetics within easy reach. World travelers will love the nylon passport wallet and accompanying luggage tag that’s part of the Globe Trotter set, and when the day is done the Relax Sleep Set comes with a comfortable eye mask and comfy neck pillow in a little drawstring bag.
Best of all, all of these travel pieces are under $200.
Billing itself as “The World’s Design Store,” a quick look at Fab’s hip colorful catalog and you get the sense that they don’t just make stuff, they have a really great time doing it. In addition to the luggage, they also produce an assortment of chic, functional products like furniture to home accessories, clothing, jewelry and more. I just may be ready for more!
