Birthdays are a good opportunity to splurge without feeling too guilty. Whether it's for yourself or for a significant other/family member/friend, it's fun to get/give something special that you/they might not typically buy.

Even though our birthday was yesterday (24), we'll be seeing some family members this weekend for one last long weekend at the beach, so here are some ideas for them (wink wink)!

[hudson sutler garment bags]

I've been thinking about buying a Hudson Sutler weekender duffel bag for a while now (this one in particular), but have struggled to rationalize pulling the trigger since I already have and love this weekender. However, just today, the brand released a new line of garment bags, meaning I can grab one of those while I deliberate on the matching duffel.

The Yorktown garment bag ($145) keeps your suits and dress shirts wrinkle free and clean while traveling. Hudson Sutler currently offers the garment bag in three different styles (Yorktown, Hatteras and Lowell), which all have matching commuter duffels, weekender duffels and dopp kits. The navy blue and red design stands out the most to me because it has a classic, nautical look. It also features red and white gingham liner inside the bag and contrast stitching throughout, among other nice touches. Whether you're adding this to your Hudson Sutler collection, or using it alone, this garment bag is a great addition for all your travels.
