Hemmings Way
Truth be told, we wouldn’t mind if our old, mismatched luggage got lost on the tarmac.
We’d happily stock up on outrageously luxurious pieces from Betty Hemmings. The high-end travel goods store has opened a Vancouver flagship location and its shelves are stocked with travel accessories fit for royalty. No really: they offer the umbrella carried by Prince Charles – or his personal umbrella carrier, anyway. And not just British royalty, but fashion royalty (Kate Moss for Longchamp) and cinematic royalty too (James Bond’s briefcase, minus the crazy gadgets).
Amidst company like this, we better start flying first class. —Kelsey Dundon
