With warm weather comes the promise—or at least the possibility—of weekends spent away, lounging on a beach or exploring a new city. Even if you’re not spending the summer living out of a carry-on, luggage brand Away's new collaboration with New York-based clothing brand La Ligne, available today, June 11, will have you dreaming of jetting off. The new capsule comprises vacation capsule wardrobe staples that could easily double as old-faithfuls in your real-life summer wardrobe. And, they'll make you stand out in the TSA line while you're at it.
The limited-edition collection was born out of a years-long friendship between both brands' founders. What started as a natural combination—La Ligne knits, Away suitcases—on their combined family vacations quickly became a go-to pairing among their legions of dedicated fans.
“There’s such a natural fit between our brands,” Jen Rubio, Away’s co-founder and CEO, tells Marie Claire. “I can’t tell you how many times our customers have tagged us in photos wearing a La Ligne sweater and rolling an Away suitcase.”

When designing the 20-piece selection, both brands looked to the essentials required for seamless summer travel, as well as their personal packing strategies. Lightweight summer sweaters and soft, plane-friendly knit pants are musts, as are matching pajamas and white graphic tees.
With this in mind, staples from both brands—like Away’s Bigger Carry-On and La Ligne’s Marina Sweater—are available alongside a series of coordinating accessories in two exclusive striped colorways with La Ligne’s signature touch: a bright orange striped pattern dubbed “Spritz,” and “Cabana," a trendy, nautical navy-and-white print.
Neither brand stuck to just the basics. “With this collection, if you add in a few accessories, a swimsuit, a dress, or pair of jeans, you'll have everything you need to get you there and keep you happy once you’ve arrived,” says Meredith Melling, La Ligne’s co-founder.
Matching pajamas complete the ideal travel wardrobe.
Priced between $30 and $345, the collaboration offers something for every type of vacationer. Longtime fans will appreciate the inclusion of new accessories like a sleek sunglasses pouch, two cute new luggage tags in coordinating colors, and a bright white baseball cap with a retro-feeling graphic to keep your face safe from the sun.
Away’s cult-favorite packing cubes also got reimagined in the sunny new prints, offering a spark to even the most tedious part of the travel process: packing. Kids also can upgrade their own vacation wardrobes courtesy of the pint-sized Marini Sweater—cue the coordinating family photos.
