Away, Instagram’s favorite luggage company, unveiled its first-ever celebrity collaboration this week, just in time for your last-hurrah summer vacation. It’s with Rashida Jones and is inspired by Stockholm, one of the actress’s favorite cities.
The collab is part of a new series in which Away will team up with “known travelers” to bring you capsule collections based on different places around the world. For the first edition, Jones dreamed up three new, muted shades of Away's classic sizes: the Carry-On ($225), the Bigger Carry-On ($245), the Medium ($275), and the Large ($295).
But the coolest part of Jones’s Away collection is that it includes more than just a suitcase. (Which is good news for anyone who, like me, can’t justify buying new luggage when the old clunky one in your closet still works just fine.)
In addition to the carry-ons, Jones designed two traveler-friendly extras, including the Stockholm Tote ($95), a sleek black bag that’s big enough to fit essentials (laptop! Snacks! Makeup bag!) but small enough that it won’t be a pain to carry through the airport or around your destination city. It comes equipped with tons of inside and outside pockets, an internal laptop sleeve, and a removable zippered pouch that, according to the site, fits "the really big iPhone."

Away: Edition RJ also includes these really smart and useful Packing Cubes ($45) for organizing your suitcase, which come in sets of four. They range in size, with options slim enough to perfectly fit a pair of shoes, large enough for sweaters, and small enough for socks and underwear. The inside of your suitcase will have never looked so good.
