Notable new finds:

New luggage and bags

Bakery Monos x Magnolia

A sweet travel collaboration just my way, Monos has teamed up with beloved New York City-based Magnolia Bakery to create a luggage and bag collection in two new colors inspired by their iconic banana pudding and lavender cupcake frosting are. The collection includes Monos classic carry-on pieces, checked bags, backpacks, packing cubes and two of our editors’ favourites: Monos Metro Duffel and Metro Sling. Not only are these colors perfect for the coming season, they’ll be sure to stand out at baggage claim.

Away

It’s back! Away’s beloved sky blue hue is back – and this time it’s available in four flex sizes including the Legendary Carry-On Flex, Bigger Carry-On Flex, Medium Flex and Large Flex. These durable hard cases feature an integrated zipper extension that adds an extra 2.25 inches for carry-on sizes and 1.75 inches for checked sizes – ideal for overpackers or when you need a little extra room for souvenirs.

Calpak

Luggage brand Calpak recently launched a medium size of their mega-popular clear cosmetic bag. The larger size is a favorite makeup bag of our editors, but this new medium size fits nicely in a weekender bag or carry-on. It takes up less space but still allows you to store makeup and toiletries that are must-haves. Plus, the clear case makes it easy to find exactly what you need and clean up spills. It’s available in seasonal hues like lavender, emerald, deep sea, and dragon fruit, as well as Calpak’s key colors – mauve, black, stone, and caramel. The brand also recently created a mini version of their original Luka belt bag in an ultra-soft, water-resistant material. The mini bag offers a hidden back pocket and a spacious main compartment, which is great for storing essentials on busy travel days when you want to be hands-free.

Coach

Coach’s Tabby bags are the ideal handbag for spring travel. Styles like the Tabby Box Bag, Tabby Crossbody Bag, Tabby Chain Clutch, and Tabby Crossbody Bag come in fun, warm colors like gold, light purple, and floral pink. Not only do they look smart, but these bags have roomy main compartments for storing essentials and are so versatile – carry them to day shopping or to a nice dinner on holiday. Plus, these high-quality leather bags are designed to last for many years.

Cuyana

I’ve been a fan of Cuyana’s Easy Tote for over a year – it’s one of those fits-all bags, perfect for a day of souvenir shopping or errands. A fatal flaw of any classic tote bag is that things can inevitably fall out if you put them on the floor. To prevent the possibility of items being lost in transit, Cuyana introduces a new version of its Easy Carry Case – complete with a zip closure. Available in three different sizes – large, classic and small – the Easy Zipper Tote brings the same sleek style and soft, pebbled leather feel to a brand new bag that can be fully closed to keep all your essentials safe – making it a great one Option makes as a personal item on the plane or as a commuter bag. Choose from main colors like black, caramel, cappuccino, dark olive and stone (my personal favourite) or fun seasonal hues like biscuit and sage.

quince

Quince introduced a line of hard cases that come in two sizes: carry-on and check-in. These lightweight cases feature a water-resistant lining, a TSA-approved lock and a removable laundry bag. Not to mention, these must-haves in the two available hues of black and tan look so sleek and are designed to withstand some wear and tear – so no need to worry about tossing them around.

Lululemon

One of our favorite sports brands, Lululemon, has just launched many new styles specifically designed for runners. Lululemon’s SenseKnit Composite running apparel includes men’s and women’s shorts, tights and jackets that can be worn in less-than-perfect weather conditions. SenseKnit fabric is water-repellent, sweat-wicking, quick-drying and designed to move with you. These layers offer the perfect amount of warmth for cooler days and ventilation for warmer ones while looking so polished.

Along with these new parts comes the latest version of the brand’s first-ever running shoe: the Blissfeel 2 features a new upper that offers extra stability and support. With a seamless welt and breathability, these comfortable shoes are made for runners and active travelers on the go. I wear these for training but they would also be a great shoe for my next flight – light weight and versatile.

girlfriend collective

I’m obsessed with Girlfriend Collective’s new spring color: Wild Iris. It’s the perfect shade of purple to brighten up any workout or airport outfit. The brand is known for its sustainable, size-sensitive sportswear – particularly its high-waisted leggings and supportive sports bras. Many styles including bike shorts, windbreakers and tank tops are available in this new limited edition shade in sizes from XXS to 6XL.

Aerie’s viral crossover leggings previously had a waiting list of over 156,000 customers and it’s easy to see why – the high-waisted crisscross waistband flatters every body type and the material is buttery soft. The brand recently launched a new version of the popular leggings, featuring the same crossover design on the back; They are also available in a flare version. The double crossover makes the style look and feel even better, and they’re ideal for everyday wear, whether you’re going on a road trip, to a training class, or on a flight. These leggings are some of my favorite leggings for any trip – they’re so light, take up very little space and can be worn no matter what my itinerary says.
