The realities of airline travel are mostly painful. Delays, pricey Wi-Fi, reclining rudeness, etc., but at least your luggage can be both unique and earth-friendly. Projectkin of Copenhagen has just made their rolling carry-on luggage with the first sustainable materials that incorporate a mix of flax fibers and actual biodegradable plastic. Not only does it look fantastically textured (and mildly furry), it’s water-resistant, too. But it’s not just an environmental statement, it’s truly practical with 360-degree wheels, a telescoping handle, vegetable-tanned leather trim on the body and handles, and a TSA-approved lock. The interior also gets a divider made with the same body materials, as well as zipped compartments for convenience. The Kin comes in two earthy colors and should make you feel warm all over from your contribution to the earth and not from the hot breath of your personal space-offending row mate in the middle seat.
