Briggs & Riley is a leader in quality, long-lasting luggage, offering sophistication and durability in stylish travel pieces. The brand just launched an exciting new colorway of its best-selling Baseline and @work styles, featuring a limited-edition Chocolate colorway for a warmer, more fashion-forward departure from the brand’s traditional color palette. In the past, limited-edition launches have sold out in record time—and this colorway may do the same.

The collection spans travel essentials from the Baseline Traveler Tote ($235) and @work Large Cargo Backpack ($429) to carry-ons and larger expandable spinners. Baseline styles feature the brand’s signature CX® expansion-compression technology for additional packing capacity. Each piece is backed by Briggs & Riley’s Simple as That® lifetime guarantee, covering repairs for life, including airline damage. Plus, this new launch comes just in time for fall and holiday travel and gifting.

About the limited-edition Chocolate colorway

“Our Limited Edition Chocolate colorway includes some of our most popular styles with a fresh, elevated point of view while complementing the craftsmanship, premium materials, and purposeful design that define Briggs & Riley. We wanted the collection to feel distinctive and luxurious, while remaining versatile and enduring,” shares Georgene Rada, Vice President, Design, Briggs & Riley.

“Briggs & Riley has always believed that exceptional design is found in the details, creating innovations that make travel easier while maintaining a distinct sense of style. That philosophy informs everything we do, from our patented CX® Smart Packing Technology, which gives travelers more room when they need it, to introducing refined new neutrals like Chocolate. We’re constantly looking at both function and form to anticipate the evolving needs of today’s traveler.”

“Our design process is rooted in identifying colors that will stand the test of time, not shades that simply follow a trend. We find inspiration everywhere, from the natural world to customer feedback. With Chocolate, we were drawn to its richness and warmth, inspired by chocolate’s timeless appeal. It’s sophisticated, grounding, and versatile, a shade that feels just as relevant today as it will years from now,” she shares.

The crossroads of luxury and discovery: Abercrombie & Kent finds it with Kitirua Plains Lodge
Nature, Outdoors, Sky

I’ve never been much of an office guy. Cubicles scare me. Quotas loom on distant horizons and attack me nightly in my sleep. I have always felt that I was meant to be a guy who took to the world like a knock-off of Alan Quartermain…adventuring his way across a continent in search of something other men could never find. Of course, when reality hit me in my younger years, I gave the office thing the old college try and discovered very quickly that I wasn’t cut out for it.

A little over a decade ago, Tom Cruise portrayed Jack Reacher as the titular wanderer. During the film, he looked across the courtyard into an office building and asked the female lead to look at all the workers in their cubicles, to point out the ones who are free. That moment stuck with me, and ever since, I have been chasing the meaning of true freedom. Now, the problem is I also like nice things. A nice suit. A great cocktail. A stellar resort. So, it is hard to find all in one place and quench the thirst of discovery.

These 4 Marriott hotels infuse luxury and wellness into Peru’s most iconic stops
peru hotels

What if Peru hotels offered more than a place to rest your head? What if walking through their halls felt like perusing an art gallery, surrendering into a retreat space, or unearthing history in a classroom? For me, when I’m heading to a country as fascinating and dense as Peru, this is the much-needed counterbalance between long days exploring layers of culture, ruins, and cuisine. 

Marriott rises to the occasion with a suite of hotels that extend beyond the generic luxury experience. Their luxury properties infuse local culture and restoration right into your room. This, paired with their signature Feel Well Experience Package, makes the hotel a destination rather than a waiting room, cross-pollinating with each location instead of walling it out.
