With the winter blues now at their peak, The White Lotus x Away travel collection couldn't have arrived at a better time. Of course, every self-professed devotee of the record-smashing HBO series will know the drop was planned to coincide with the release of its much-anticipated third season, which lands on the platform and sibling streaming service MAX on February 16.
But while the gloominess of the coldest months makes every summer escape a distant, unachievable mirage, the latest collaboration between co-founders Jen Rubio and Steph Korey's American luggage brand and director Mike White's The White Lotus puts a cinematic spin on travel essentials, reminding us that our next adventure may be only weeks away — or even convincing us to book impromptu journeys just to have an excuse to style one of their co-authored, sandy creations. Am I being excessive? Maybe, but what else can you expect from a series whose Season 2 finale alone had 4.1 million US viewers glued to their screens in one day, with 752 million minutes viewed amassed in just a week? Nothing less.
