Prada Flight Set

By Desmond Carter

f you’re traveling fashionably, you might have a passport holder that cost more than your first-class plane ticket and a suitcase emblazoned with monograms. One place where luxury is probably lacking is the wrinkled Ziploc freezer bag you’re using to store your tiny bottles of shampoo and face wash.

Fear not, though, because airline strictness no longer means that your toiletry bag has to contain the same tacky transparent baggy that is more suitable to store a filet mignon than a consortium of fine toiletries. The new Prada Flight Set bag has everything taken care of and ensures that you’ll travel in complete style.

The black nylon bag, replete with the signature metal Prada logo, has saffiano calf leather detailing and a lengthy zipper that allows you to easily access your most needed goods. It also comes with reusable plastic bags designed to fit perfectly within the bag itself. For those of you who like to travel with their own beauty products that aren’t sold in travel-sized packages, the Flight Set also comes with four bottles for liquids. Be it moisturizer or hair product, these bottles are transparent and allow for easy inspection by customs. Always one to go the extra mile, Prada has also included disposable slippers that you can slide on your tony toes while your loafers are searched for explosives. Forget about stepping on cold and potentially-dirty airport floors.

With this convenient bag, you’ll no longer have to travel like a plebe and will (hopefully) be able to make it through customs that much quicker. After all, there’s plenty (of gin) waiting for you in the first-class lounge that will surely quell any pre-flight jitters you might have. The Prada Flight Set retails for approximately CDN $275. –D.C.
