Courtney is an adopted San Franciscan and fashion publicist. Travel attire has hit a bump in the road, so to speak. Long gone are the days of wearing a suit on an airplane or Pucci clad stewardesses. The glamour that was once synonymous with air travel has been replaced with lounge wear and a sea of uniformity. However, not all hope is lost; style has not left the friendly skies forever because of fashion companies such as TOKYObay and their RedTango collection of totes and carry-ons inspired by the vintage airline era.
TOKYObay has made a name for itself the last 16 years by designing distinctly modern pieces inspired by vintage themes. The streamline RedTango bags in cool bold colors harkens back to a time when the idea of the future was more idealistic than nihilistic. The RedTango Weekend Bag evokes a pilots briefcase, perfectly sized for a laptop, while the Carry-On Bags rounded shape feels more space-aged than computer-aged. The mod inspired cosmetic cases sophistication stems from their clean modular shape. Just when the drudgery of travel gets you down this spring travel season, RedTango will make you feel excited about packing your bags again.
As Dory Isaacs, one half of the versatile design duo that is TOKYObay, explains it, having a nice piece of luggage always makes me feel just that little bit more excited about a trip, even if I am not in First Class I feel it adds a little class to me so the color and practicality of the Carry-On Bags and Weekend Bags just add that little bit of class from times that were a little less about the stress of travel and more about enjoying the journey.
To commemorate this travel season TOKYObay will be giving away patent luggage tags with any purchase of $35 or more at www.tokyobayinc.com from March 18th to April 9th. The brightly colored tags are the perfect accompaniment to make you feel like your traveling back in time as opposed to wasting your time in transit.
