Cool Hunting

Simplicitas's clean and clever solution keeps your toiletries protected when traveling and conveniently hung when you arrive at your destination. Most toiletry bags are made of soft collapsible fabrics which are great for conserving space in luggage, but don't provide much protection to keep plastic bottles and tubes from exploding or leaking. The 182 Gram Toiletry Bag is made of durable polypropylene and a heavy duty elastic band connected to one half holds the two halves closed when your bag is on the go.
To open and hang, just take the two halves apart and stack the top half inverted to create a two-tiered case. The elastic band is then used to hang the case with all its contents in the shower, on the door or in a closet. This feature is also convenient when space is limited, counters are wet, and you're just not comfortable laying your toothbrush on unknown surfaces. It's also dishwasher safe for easy clean.
We first reported on these in our gift guide when they were only available through Simplicitas and we're pleased to see they've made it into Flight 001 where they're available for $35.

For a holiday spent taking in Barcelona's seamless blend of old and new architecture, food and sounds, the sublime Chic and Basic Hotel couldn't be more well-suited. Located in the trendy Born area, it's an ideal jumping-off spot for wandering the many narrow, meandering streets of the city's neighboring areas. But it's the hotel itself that symbolizes so much of what we consider Barcelona...
For someone like myself who grew up traveling in converted buses, this new Republic of Fritz Hansen-designed Airstream and coordinating modified MINI Cooper S Clubman doesn't look exactly practical, but it does look dreamy. At 6.8 meters long (about 22 feet), the Airstream trailer makes for a relatively compact way to make a road-trip luxurious—for fans of both sea and sun. Incorporating neoprene, acid...
by Kelsey KeithPlaying on the idea of pixelation, the rooms and suites of the new Pixel Hotel in Linz, Austria, are scattered across the metropolitan area, blurring the definition of the classic hotel. Young and promising local architects were given a brief to convert various spaces—a garage, a workshop, and even a ship—into six hotel rooms. The results range from an architecturally-fitted interior connected to...
The only thing better than a laid-back stroll around Prague during the winter holidays is to be able to come back to the Hotel Josef. Set on an ancient street a short walk from the Old Town Square and on the edge of the old Jewish Quarter, it's an ideal location for exploring the city—if not for the famous statue of Kafka riding the...
by Juliet Kinsman Cobbled and colonial but also contemporary and quirky, I recently had the chance to stay at the brand-new Douro Valley hotel, Quinta da Romaneira. From one look at the interior design it's clear that super-picky attention to detail is paramount. Thierry Teyssier, the creator of Quinta dos Sonhos (Romaneira's Portuguese name) considered every color, visualized every view, procured the highest spec...
To celebrate their 110th anniversary, high-end luggage maker Globetrotter collaborated with one of the world's most futuristic designers to create a contemporary classic that could see the company through its next 110 years. Ross Lovegrove, the Welsh designer known for his fluid forms and experimentation with revolutionary materials, sought to create the world's most lightweight suitcase. Carbon fiber was the obvious choice but the...
