Carry On

Ah, the jet-set life.

Back in the day (say, 1993) it was a luxury reserved for the select few who could summon their Gulfstream on their big honkin’ cell phones.

In today’s Priceline.com era a gal can get from Kansas to Cannes for less than that Marc Jacobs bag she can’t afford. If only it were as easy to find weekend totes worthy of the jaunt.

The answer: Ollie and Bette’s line of preppy-meets-functional lightweight luggage. The beribboned Almost Ready accessory bag and the Go-Go garment bag are perfect for a European getaway or just humdrum daily use (work, gym, press conference). The classic navy and black pieces are lined with seersucker and trimmed in contrasting ribbon. (If only they made outfits that matched.)

With show-off-worthy luggage like this, you’ll beg your boss to send you to that conference in Nowheresville.

And who knows? Looking like that, you might get a ride on the company jet.
