The White Lotus is back, baby! While some folks are busy boarding their flights to Bangkok, Thailand—aka settling in for the first episode of season 3—as we speak, I'm currently shopping all of the HBO show's collaborations at Bloomingdales, Compartés and Away right this minute. Can you blame me? The resort-ready collections are worthy of five stars, but when it comes to The White Lotus x Away collab that dropped on Feb. 16? It deserves six—maybe even seven! So I hope you're in the market for some new luggage because these dreamy new raffia-inspired pieces are per-fect for jet-setting to paradise.

As you know, the collection was inspired by the newest season of The White Lotus, which takes place in Thailand (so, as expected, the pieces have an earthy vibe to them). What you probably don't know is that Away partnered with Sydney-based artist Lezio Lopes (the illustrator who worked with Plains of Yonder on the show’s opening credits) to create a super special *hand-drawn* wallpaper just for this collection. In other words, all The White Lotus Away pieces, from the carry-on ($325) to the insider packing cubes ($55), have hidden details that capture the show’s signature allure so you have a luxe experience while traveling. The bigger carry-on ($395), for instance, has a custom lotus flower print lining and a matching laundry bag. It also has a lightweight polycarbonate hard shell with a raffia-like texture that feels like it was made just for a stay at the fictional resort.
