Ricardo Beverly Hills, the Washington-based global luggage and travel accessories leader, has launched a new collection. Named “Avalon,” the new line features a sustainable backpack, duffle bag and suitcases that are created with travelers in mind who are committed to having a low carbon footprint and wanting to own premium-quality, meticulously crafted items.
The collection’s backpack is designed with a roomy main compartment for ample space, adjustable comfort straps, zippered pockets for easy accessibility, a trolley pass-through strap and a water bottle pocket on its side. Its exterior is made from fully recycled polyethylene terephthalate (rPET) materials that don’t comprise on product quality and has rPET interior lining as well. The backpack, along with the rest of the collection, arrives in three hues: black, green and blue.
Avalon’s “Drop-Bottom Weekender Duffle,” which comes in the same colors, is also made with strong, rPET material and has rPET lining its inside. This over-the-shoulder style consists of two carry handles, an interior with easy-snap compression straps, a shoulder strap that can be detached, a trolley pass-through strap and a pocket on its front. It also has a drop bottom zippered section that’s lined with rPET material.
The 16-inch, “Under-the-Seat Carry-On” is also crafted from rPET materials and is designed with in-line skate wheels, a removable 3-1-1 wet pouch, a large pocket on its front, and interior pockets that have zippers. The collection’s “Softside Carry-On Expandable Spinner,” “Softside Large Check-In Expandable Spinner,” and “Softside Medium Check-In Expandable Spinner,” are made with rPET material and consist of functional features such as an exterior pocket and carry handles at its top and sides.
Speaking to the brand’s commitment to sustainability, Chief Executive Officer Robert Dodson shared: “At Ricardo Beverly Hills, we are committed to providing eco-conscious products utilizing recycled plastic waste wherever possible,” Dodson told Fashion Mannuscript. “These new weekender and backpack designs complement the successful launch of the wheeled cases in the Avalon collection earlier this year.”
The new Ricardo Beverly Hills “Avalon Sustainable Soft Travel Bag Collection” is available to shop at Ricardo Beverly Hills’ official website and at Macy’s and JCPenney.
