Travel Accessories - Prepare For Takeoff

 

Having cute luggage will encourage you to travel in the same way that buying a new pair of running shoes will encourage you to exercise. Theoretically. But whatever, we're always on the lookout for fun online shopping experiences, and this one fits the bill!

For your girlfriend getaways, girls weekends or even just a quick business trip, Flight 001 has your packing needs covered. This is a clever, hip, travel-focused site (ahem), with everything from suitcases to travel games to a funny-looking packable bike that we really couldn't imagine using.

Here are a few of our favorite items:

Bamboo blanket and eye mask - Blanket and Eyemask Set made of 100% sustainable bamboo fiber. Includes a super-soft blanket and matching eyemask. 40in X 60in (blanket open). We love to match, and we also love having our own blanket, so we can avoid using the pilling airline-issue ones. Plus, bamboo is eco-friendly, and so are we.

Cashmere travel slippers - Pink cashmere travel slippers for comfort and style while far from home. One pair includes a silk drawstring case. Women's sizes. Large: 9-10 Medium:7-8 Small: 5-6. You can never have too much footwear, and these are adorable and will just pack up into your purse until you're ready to sink your feet into the cashmere deliciousness on the flight.

Wet suit bag - Don't Travel Dirty, Go Clean! Keep your dripping swimsuits away from dry clothes with the Flight 001 Go Clean Wet Suit bag. This drawstring bag has a treated interior to prevent mildew and unwanted water in your suitcase. Zip storage case contains 1 bag. 6.75in X 5.75in (case) 12.5in X 16in (bag). There is nothing worse than having to pack a wet swimsuit, and it is going to get funky in that plastic bag you planned to use. This is much better.

Traveler Case - ML Traveler Case in Rio print. Interior features 2 snap-out zip mesh pouches, a removable toiletry pouch, a zip compartment, and a mirror. Exterior features two handles and double-zip closure. This is so pretty that we may or may not just try to use it as a purse. It could be Marc Jacobs...

Handmade silk jewelry roll -Silk Jewelry Roll in Berry Gerber print. Organize and protect your jewelry while you travel. Features 3 zippered pockets, large compartment for necklaces and ring bar. Tie closure. 100% Thai silk.
7in X 3.5in (closed).
In the past we have struggled with packing jewelry, and it usually winds up sharing a compartment with our toiletries. Toiletries can sometimes explode.

There is much more where these came from, so take a little shop-break and visit Flight 001. You will probably also want to check with our Holiday Golightly Packing List, just to make sure you don't forget anything.

Cashmere slippers sure sound good... Forget the flight, I will wear them at home.

I swear by a jewelry roll. Someone gave it to me as a Christmas present a few years back and I used it ever since, sometimes just for an overnight stay if I plan to wear something different the day after. You know, one mustn't be caught wearing mismatched jewelry, if you know what i mean ;). And a roll is much easier to pack that those leather mini-cases from Coach.

Oh no. Now I really want a Coach leather mini-case too! You can never have too many fun pack-y things!
