All Aboard: Bills Khakis x Mulholland

We love designer collaborations, especially when they involve two brands we know are dedicated to high quality and superior craftsmanship. This exciting partnership is between Bills Khakis, a brand that specializes in American-made sportswear, and Mulholland, the California based luxury leather brand – and the collection has our names written all over it.

Bills Khakis has partnered up with Mulholland to create a specialty travel collection, filled with fall essentials. Rugged waxed canvas is dipped in paraffin wax for added strength and water resistance. Quilted twill tops and zippers galore, not to mention plenty of storage. But what is it that gives this rugged collaboration an extra push? The bags are hand sewn – and that screams dedication. So lets get into the details.

Berkeley Duffel – Your new travel companion. This bag was built in San Francisco and will carry all of your items comfortably. The size is perfect; fitting everything you need, while still stowing perfectly into an overhead department. There are three outside zip pockets, one of which is deep enough to stash a pair of shoes. The rolled leather handles make hand carrying a breeze and each piece will develop a unique look due to the waxes in the canvas, which will develop handsome patina overtime.

Dopp Kit – Never underestimate the power of a good dopp kit. Razor (check), toothpaste, (check), swagger (double-check) – carry all of your grooming must haves in this quilted toiletry bag. The paraffin waxed coated canvas will deflect any moisture and you’ll keep you basic needs in check with a dapper dopp kit.

Officer’s Bag- If you can’t get enough Bills Khaki x Mulholland, then don’t limit yourself to their travel accessories – you can use this workbag everyday. The canvas material will evolve overtime, hold all of your stuff, withstand the elements, and the lightweight material will help prevent pinched nerves. Most importantly, you’ll look good. And that’s all that really matters after all.

All of these products are available at select specialty stores nationwide, and of course on BillsKhakis.com

Savannah Beyond the Postcard
Take a look at one of the greatest southern cities from a different perspective.
Architecture, Building, Spire

Savannah is one of those cities that seems almost too easy to like. The live oaks are dramatic. The Spanish moss does exactly what it is supposed to do. The brick sidewalks buckle in all the right places. The houses look like they were designed by people who understood proportion, shade, and the value of a proper front step. Even the light seems to arrive with better manners than it does in most places.

I have a built-in advantage when it comes to Savannah. We have family there, so we have been back several times, not just once for the checklist version of the city. I have also done a photography workshop there, which is a terrific way to learn any city. You get up early, stay out late, and pay attention to alleys, doorways, ironwork, reflections, and the way a city changes when the tourists are still asleep.

I spent 72 hours in London with only a carry-on. Here’s how I did it in style
Luxury travel doesn't require a checked bag
London

Somewhere between the baggage claim carousel and the Elizabeth Line, I realized I'd already won. As passengers from my Norwegian flight to London crowded around the conveyor belt waiting for checked luggage to appear, I was already on my way into the city. Twenty minutes later, I was headed toward central London with nothing more than a carry-on suitcase and a backpack. I've become a bit of a carry-on evangelist over the past few years. Not because I'm trying to prove some minimalist point or because I enjoy seeing how few shirts I can survive with. I just genuinely think it's the better way to travel, especially for a long weekend in Europe.

My recent 72-hour trip from Copenhagen to London wasn't exactly a backpacker's itinerary. It included a stay at one of London's nicest luxury hotels, rooftop cocktails, dinners worth dressing up for, and plenty of walking through Soho, Covent Garden, and the rest of central London. Somehow, everything I needed fit inside my Travelpro Platinum Elite Slim Cabin Hardshell Spinner V2, with a backpack holding my flight essentials.

This New Montana Hotel Captures the Poetry of the Open Road
Helena's newest boutique hotel revives the spirit of the classic roadside motel.
Corner, Home Decor, Bed

In case you need another excuse for a Montana getaway this summer, a quirky new boutique hotel has opened in Helena, the Treasure State's capital. The Bell Hotel occupies the site of the former Bell Motel, a classic 1950s roadside lodge thoughtfully reimagined by CWG Architecture. Each of its 14 rooms features locally made chocolates, coffee, and artwork. While in town, ask the front desk about the Bell's Picnic in the Park package. The hotel supplies a basket of local treats and a blanket; Montana provides the sublime scenery and glorious weather. You're on your own for companionship.
