Louis Vuitton Bisten Monogram Titane Collection

A French luxury fashion brand is putting a new spin to one of its iconic products. Travelers with a little too much money to burn just love the LV Bisten series. These luxurious suitcases boast top-notch craftsmanship and quality that’s perfect for the affluent globetrotter. Now it’s taking a bold approach by replacing some materials its using for the construction of this range of luggage. The Louis Vuitton Bisten Monogram Titane is a collection of three classic trunks made of titanium.

A couple of months ago at the Cruise 2020 event, the luxury label was once again in the headlines for something innovative. Highlighting flexible OLED technology, the fashion industry got its first handbags with integrated display panels on the sides. Instead of earning praises, the feedback was mostly negative from the majority of fashion critics worldwide. However, the Titane series appears to be on the right track as the innovation everyone would rather have. The lightweight metal components should make it more durable than normal.

Mimicking the design of the traditional model, the Louis Vuitton Bisten Monogram Titane etches the prints using lasers. The titanium side panels look elegant as it wraps around the entire suitcase. To add some contrast, certain parts such as the lock, side clasps, and edges use ruthenium instead of the classic brass. Furthermore, the corners and handle are still made of cowhide leather and gray microfiber lining. There are three sizes to choose from: 50, 55, and 60. No need to wait long because these pieces are now available for purchase online or at official boutiques.

Gameboy Luggage Cover

Airports can get tiresome, desolate, and sometimes even lonely. So why not give your luggage a bit of flair to counterbalance the depressing, nondescript blandness of jumping from one airport to another?

This geeky Gameboy Luggage Cover by Bioworld is the perfect way to spice things up a bit. For starters, it makes your bulky luggage a little bit cuter. It also makes a statement about how cool you are (and old!). It’s classy, instantly recognizable, and makes your dreary-looking baggage instantly a punch above the rest.

The cover is made of polyester and spandex, which means it’s super durable and should theoretically fit most average-sized luggages. It’s got unisex colors, so it won’t look weird if you’re a guy or a girl. Plus, Bioworld says it’s officially licensed and 100% authentic.

Okay, okay, we know what you’re thinking — how can putting a diaper over your luggage make it look cool? And to that we say, “Touché!” But this is no ordinary diaper. This is a Gameboy diaper, ‘90s nostalgia intact.

Sure, it’s not really clear exactly what the purpose of a luggage cover is. But you can’t deny it looks pretty sick. Bioworld has a bunch of other iconic luggage covers, too. It’s got Legend of Zelda, Harley Quinn, and Super Mario. It’s peddling tons of other geeky stuff as well, like a Pokémon-themed messenger bag and a backpack for Wonder Woman fans.

The Gameboy Luggage cover is available on Amazon for $30. A bit on the pricey side for what it does, but worth it for the extra flair.

OPPOSETHIS Invisible Carry-on Backpack

OPPOSETHIS is a Lithuanian design studio crafting understated accessories which are influenced by the “less but better” concept of famed industrial designer Dieter Rams, and the underground movement of urban techwear. Their latest release is the Invisible Carry-on, a seamlessly-shaped backpack that makes traveling easier and smarter.

Constructed with feedback from over 500 frequent travelers, the carry-on has enough room (33L) within the check-in limit and it boasts checkpoint-friendly features. The main compartment that opens wide like a suitcase makes packing hassle-free while contracting/expanding loops allow the backpack to be used as a smaller bag when needed.

Fitted with plenty of cleverly-placed pockets and a separate compartment for a 15” laptop, the uber-functional Invisible Carry-on has a subtle droplet shape that makes it aesthetically pleasing and its size more manageable. Its lightweight nylon-polyester build also means your gear will stay protected from rain & snow, which is always nice.
