Lulu Guinness, the British vintage mulberry handbag designer known for her whimsical designs, which often incorporate her signature lip graphic, has launched her first luggage collection. And, as expected, it’s as pragmatic as it is playful.

Comprising carry-on and wheeled luggage sets, “The World is Your Oyster” collection employs Guiness’ famous lips in two different ways.

The line’s high-gloss, hard-shell rollers — available in lipstick red (naturally) and black mulberry alexa — are peppered with dozens of 3-D lips, creating, in effect, huge rolling smooches. There’s also a canvas suitcase grouping, in black only, featuring the same repetitive lip print, only this time in a quieter textile print.

“I wanted the collection to be practical and light, [using] the standard size requirements for carry-on luggage,” said Guinness. “I also incorporated an element of wit, which I do with all my mulberry laptop bag designs. The suitcases are sophisticated and subtle until you look closely and see that they are covered in my iconic red lips.”
