Alstermo Bruk K Is…

Alstermo Bruk Atlas Suitcase

Wanting.

Alstermo Bruk handmakes luggage like luxury travel gear Globe Trotter — for less than half the price. Alstermo Bruk is hardly a knock-off, though: the Swedish company has been making their patented gear since 1804 (that’s 93 years pre-Globe Trotter, and 200+ years pre-Globe Trotter at J Crew)….

Using.

Perfect for stashing makeup on the bathroom counter…

Hating.

Alstermo Bruk’s appeal is in their function-meets-form elegance, not a nutty pattern…






Porsche Luggage K Is…

Porsche PTS Luggage

Wanting.

When I visited the Porsche store at Two Rodeo, the publicists schooled me that all the gear was designed in house: even the pens aren’t licensed. And when you feel product like this Porsche PTS luggage, you can tell.

I love the elegance of economy in Porsche design, and when your 69-year-old, billionaire boyfriend buys you a Turbo, you’ll find out how Porsche luggage perfectly fits into the cars…

Porsche Carfit Luggage

Using.

That Porsche “Carfit” luggage wheels have Carrera rims is a little cheese. But I love that ultra basic ballistic nylon, the lightness, and–

That Porsche luggage is a great ice breaker with Korean businessmen when you’re laid over in Seoul…

Porsche No. 1 Luggage

Hating.

Somehow that airbrushed Porsche duffle doesn’t match the minimalist Porsche design I’m drawn to…



Luggage K Is…

23.Sep.2008

Wanting.

If I owned more jewelry than a cameo my gramma gave me, a beautiful Teslar watch, a “K” necklace, and a medical alert bracelet, I’d have ordered this…

Wearing.

Or “dragging onto the flying bus.” I stuffed a MacBook Pro, The Bonfire of Vanities, iPhone, NARS powder, and a small third-world adoptee into this…

Hating.

This bag begs, “Steal me.” Unless you’re a dude looking to get laid by a Russian model, why would you pay thousands of dollars to be inconvenienced…



Vintage Alligator Carry-On

Anyone who tells you money can’t buy happiness has a price tag.

The person who hates money doesn’t know money is just a tool you craft while working for whatever you love, that cash is a cache for independence, that printed paper paves the expansion of your horizon, that money makes for fun when you trade it for a vintage alligator carry-on, plus tickets to Hong Kong for your 20-something’th birthday.

Along with Chinese hookers.

I mean hookahs.



Diane von Furstenberg Luggage

Diane von Furstenberg suitcase $200, eBags.com
Diane von Furstenberg LuggageEven a boyfriend who hit 50 countries in a year was impressed with how I stuffed my “Betty Boopy shit” into a single bag for our one-week trip hitting four cities.

While flying buses aren’t excepted from my uniform of hooker heels and flapper frocks–

I pack like a dude.

And I always carry on. When you check in, you’re check yes to a risk of losing luggage, you check yes to your goodies getting fondled worse than you on prom night, you check yes to at least a half-hour that could be better spent with $10 on an iced soy latte at the airport Starbucks.

So check this carry-on Diane von Furstenberg luggage. The expandable suitcase is lined with DvF logos and a detachable toiletries kit, the pretty pewter makes the Diane von Furstenberg suitcase hard to lose sans shouting “Steal me” like a Louis print, and the boss DvF suitcase has rolling wheels, a necessary convenience when you travel alone and–

Haven’t eaten anything since yesterday.

Have a happy Labor Day weekend jetaway, lovelies.

XXXO,
K
