ROMA WEEKENDER BAG: This bag is made from paper (“via cultivation, not deforestation”) into a beautiful design by Italy’s Uashmama. Carry this lightweight, waterproof tote on the plane along with pride in looking good and leather-free. $160, Truck and Barter, 108 Washington St, Petaluma, 707-658-2131, truckandbarter.co
TECHNO PANTS: Designed by Germany-based Bogner exclusively for Susan Graf, these stylish pants are stretchy, comfortable, and wrinkle-resistant. With a fashionable fit, they can be dressed up or down, so you can doff your “airline” look by switching to heels to be ready for that lovely dinner at your vacation destination. $450, Susan Graf Limited, 100 Matheson St., Healdsburg, 707-433-6495, susangraf.com
DAPPER DRAWSTRING PANTS: These stylish Chinos by Zanerobe have a drawstring and stretchy fabric for increased comfort. But their stylish cut makes for a fashionable look, perfect for your arrival at your vacation spot. $99, Kaliber 315 D St, Santa Rosa, 707-528-0182, shopkaliber.com
COMPACT COZY: This pretty shawl can keep you stylish and warm and can also double as an in-flight blanket. Pashmina is a warm, but thin fabric, so you can stay cozy without bulky material to cramp your style and your narrow seat. $36, Bella Vita Sonoma, 457 First Street West, Sonoma, 707-935-8206, bellavitasonoma.com
FLY INTO THE GROOMING ZONE: Lugging toothpaste and sundry self-care potions across the world is kind of a drag, but this checkered canvas bag is so playful and cute, brushing your teeth and applying eye cream could become the trip’s highlight. Ok, probably not. But keeping these items handy on your flight helps you feel a little less after-a-long-flight-ish. $21, Bella Vita Sonoma, 457 First Street West Sonoma, 707.935.8206, bellavitasonoma.com
LIL COCKTAIL SURVIVAL KIT: If a mini bottle of vodka over ice isn’t your cup of tea, try doctoring your drink with this Bloody Mary kit. Complete with mix, rim salt, cornichon pickles, and a mini towel to wipe down the… uh… bar, this adorable toolbox is so cute it deserves a hug. $24, Truck and Barter, 108 Washington St, Petaluma, 707-658-2131, truckandbarter.co
