The Carry-On Edit
Winter 2026
Travel is often a series of compromises, but your luggage shouldn’t be one of them. A carry-on isn't just a container; it’s an investment in a "less but better" philosophy. We’re looking for pieces that balance the rigor of frequent transit with a strict adherence to ethical craft. From aerospace-grade recycled shells to vegan "ultrafiber" that rivals the finest Nappa, these are the pieces that make the journey as intentional as the destination.
The Main Cabin: Carry-On, Perfected
A masterclass in longevity. By swapping traditional zippers for a reinforced aluminum frame and latch system, Monos has eliminated the most common point of failure in luggage. It is built for the long haul, backed by a Climate Neutral Certification that ensures your footprint remains as light as your bag.
A representation of the pinnacle of heritage craft. Handcrafted in the UK, its body is made from vulcanized fibreboard, a surprisingly lightweight material made from bonded paper and cotton. This is a "buy once, keep forever" piece that gains character with every mile, proving that sustainability is often found in extreme durability.
The Weekend Edit: Short-Haul Sophistication
Perfection of the "no-harm" luxury aesthetic. Their custom-developed vegan ultrafiber leather is the industry gold standard for those who want the weight and grain of high-end leather without the animal cost. It features a dedicated external laptop sleeve and a luggage sleeve that slips over your carry-on handle for a truly hands-free transit.
For the traveler who values modularity. It features a water-resistant exterior and an interior lining made entirely from recycled plastic bottles. The dedicated bottom compartment is a game-changer for keeping shoes or laundry separate from your clean knits.
The Cabin Companion: Travel Totes
1. Call It By Your Name Quilted Maxi Cabas
A celebration of artisanal craft. Using 100% cotton bandanas sourced from the last traditional US factories and finished with hand-embroidery in Paris, it brings a tactile, human element to the sterile environment of an airport.
Organic cotton-blend canvas, providing a structured silhouette that doesn't feel precious. It is a quiet, minimalist essential from a brand that maintains a strict commitment to ethical labor practices across its European supply chain.
The Supporting Pieces: Travel Organization
1. Keep Your Cadence: The Parcel System
These magnetic, modular containers are made from recycled ocean-bound plastic and are designed to be a lifetime alternative to waste. They are leakproof, TSA-compliant, and endlessly customizable.
2. Alepel Hand-Painted Makeup Bags
Proof that "vegan" can still be "bespoke." These cases use 100% Microfiber Vegan Nappa and are hand-painted by artists in Miami, supporting the creative community with every purchase through a zero-waste production process.
3. Call It By Your Name Maxi Bucket Bag
A whimsical, artisanal alternative to the rigid vanity case. Handcrafted from reversible bandana cotton, it is the perfect soft-structured companion for your essentials. It prioritizes artisanal production over mass manufacturing.
Notes From HERBE.
Luxury in transit isn't about the destination; it’s about the integrity of the tools you take with you. By choosing materials that prioritize longevity, whether it’s a century-old fibreboard or a cutting-edge recycled polymer, we shift travel from a culture of extraction to one of stewardship.
