Dwyane Wade Teams Up With Away for a Suitcase Designed for Wine and Other Awesome Travel Stuff

Away’s luggage is kind of our jam over here at The Manual. We love the brand’s unbreakable, uncrushable, basically un-fuck-uppable clamshell suitcases to the point that we’ve almost stopped carrying any other kind. Major points in Away’s favor are the luggage’s roomy interiors with separate sections for shoes and non-compressible items on one side and a compressible clothing section on the other, the super-utilitarian built-in laundry-bag, multi-directional, smooth rolling wheels, and the multiple different size options that they come in.

Yet, Away just can’t stop improving on their already nearly-perfect products.

Earlier this year we saw Away collaborate with NBA All-Star and Miami Heat player Dwyane Wade for the Away X Dwyane Wade collection. That collab featured design inspiration from the Heat’s hometown of Miami in the form of an interior palm-print and an exterior wrapped in matte black aluminum, which brought that same sense of sharp, gentleman-meets-high-roller style Wade sports off the court, where he’s often found donning a slim cut, black suits, blazers, button-downs, killer sneakers, and oxfords.

Away Travel

Now, Wade has teamed up once again with Away for not only an exterior style upgrade in the form of dual-hued navy and powder blue suitcases but also with multiple awesome additions to Away’s traditional luggage lineup.

With a dopp kit, duffel pack, packing cubes, and a suitcase specifically designed for traveling with wine, Dwyane Wade and Away have created a frequent traveler’s dream suite of suitcases and accessories. Check out all the new additions to the Away X Dwyane Wade collection below.

The Dwyane Wade Wine Case – $275

With an interior designed and outfitted for six full-size bottles of wine (or liquor … or beer), this suitcase is ideal for anyone who loves wine, from aficionado to the enthusiast. In addition to the wine case, the dual-toned sky blue and “ocean shore” color-combination can be found on the four original luggage sizes: the Carry-On ($225), the Bigger Carry-On ($245), the Medium ($275), and the Large ($295).

The Dwyane Wade Packing Cubes – $25+

With four sizes starting at just $25, the Dwyane Wade Packing Cubes from Away are the perfect addition to your travel “uniform.” Made from heavy-duty, transparent PVC, these bags were designed to separate your clothing by type all while keeping whats inside clearly visible.

Made from the same premium pebbled leather as the Duffel pack, this dopp kit is bigger than most others and is designed to keep every lotion, cleanser, and hair clay in place. There’s even a spot specifically to stow your toothbrush and toothpaste.

Inside The Lodge at Bodega Bay: What it’s like to stay at the #1 hotel in the world
The Lodge at Bodega Bay deserves the title of #1 hotel in the world
Sarah Joseph at The Lodge at Bodega Bay

I recently had the chance to stay at The Lodge at Bodega Bay, which was voted the #1 hotel in the world by the 2024 Condé Nast Traveler Readers' Choice Awards. With modern, top-tier amenities and surreal views of the ocean, it's easily among one of the top five hotels I've ever visited, right up alongside the Gaylord Palms hotel in Florida and the Mountain View Grand in New Hampshire. Here's everything that made The Lodge special, and why you should consider visiting the next time you're feeling stressed.
What makes The Lodge special?

To me, nothing is more relaxing than a seaside escape, where you can just sit for hours and watch the sea and sky. There are many alcoves on campus where you can hide away and take in the view, but most rooms also have private patios. My husband, Gladston, and I particularly loved the outdoor fire pits, where we toasted our hands in the chill spring air.

The best U.S. beaches you’ve never heard of — until now
America’s best-kept beach secrets, according to locals
Pa'ako Cove, Hawaii

Want to enjoy a beach day without the crowds, parking hassles, or the battle for the perfect spot on the sand? A recent survey by Frugal Flyer asked 3,002 locals to reveal the best hidden beaches across the country.

Unsurprisingly, Hawaii dominates the list. Topping the charts is Awahua Beach, tucked away at the base of Moloka‘i’s Kalaupapa Peninsula. This small black-sand beach, framed by cliffs nearly 2,000 feet high, is part of a National Historical Park that once served as a leprosy settlement. Accessible only by mule, a tough hike, or a small plane, Awahua’s remote location makes it one of Hawaii’s most quiet escapes.

I’ve used the Carl Friedrik Core luggage set on countless trips—why I trust it
The color scheme and convenience may be worth the odd scuff
Carl Friedrik Core Luggage Set

As anyone who has dragged a battered old bag with a wonky wheel across cobbles knows, the right luggage choice can make or break a trip. Especially if that trip involves difficult terrain, rushing to make connections, or plenty of outfit options. Carl Friedrik’s Core Set is a good entry point into the London-based brand’s luggage options.

The set comes in three standard colors: a Sand/Chocolate version (which is the one tested below), Navy blue, and black. At the time of writing, a limited-edition Atlassian Williams Racing option is available for the F1 fans amongst you who like a plucky underdog with a blue and white color scheme.
