High fashion and high-tech meet in Rebecca Minkoff #AlwaysOn luggage

By Lulu Chang Published October 24, 2017

You’ll soon be able to bring the same fashion you enjoy in your handbag to your travel bag. Here to introduce high fashion to high tech is Rebecca Minkoff and her eponymous fashion line, which has now expanded with a new set of #AlwaysOn power luggage. Slated to launch for pre-order on November 1, this line of connected suitcases seeks to create a “seamlessly connected travel experience” by integrating charging technology with a sleek, lightweight, and personalized carry-on roller bag. Effectively an extension of your personal style, this is one suitcase you might just want to bring around with you.

Meant for “the always-connected girl on the go,” these pieces of luggage come with a built-in 10,050mAh power bank that can charge your smartphone up to four times. The luggage also gives you the option to charge multiple USB-C and USB enabled devices simultaneously by way of the Rapid Charging power integration. Seeing as this is a “smart” bag, the luggage is also compatible with the Rebecca Minkoff Travel Bluetooth Smart App, which gives you notifications about power bank power levels and the location of your bag. The app can also trigger your bag to sound a “Find Me” alarm should you ever misplace it.

Featuring a lightweight, polycarbonate hard-shell exterior, the suitcase also promises lifetime-warrantied smooth-glide wheels that spin in all 360 degrees, as well as a four-stop trolley-handle system that allows you to adjust the height of the bag as needed. And thanks to a TSA-approved luggage lock, you should be set on security, too.

To personalize your Rebecca Minkoff bag, you can grab a customization sticker pack, which includes cityscapes, emojis, and individual puffy letters. There are also monogrammable leather luggage tags, some of which come with a lightning cable to ensure ready-to-go iPhone charging.

The Rebecca Minkoff Travel #AlwaysOn luggage line will be available for pre-order on November 1, and the pieces will begin shipping on December 5, just in time for the holidays. Matte black will be the first color made available, but if that’s not quite your speed, rest assured that other options will be coming out in February 2018.

Why Your Next Outdoor Security Camera Might Need Three Lenses

EZVIZ Puts Triple-Lens Outdoor Security in the Spotlight at IFA 2026

Monitoring a home often means watching several things at once. Just as a car pulls into the driveway, a visitor might approach the front gate, or movement could catch your eye in the side garden. For many European homes, this is a familiar scenario.

The challenge becomes even more noticeable when a property includes a backyard, detached garage, or swimming pool. Installing another camera for every angle is one solution, but it also means more devices to set up, manage, and maintain.

I played with Yarbo’s yard robot at IFA, and now I want one for every season

One tracked robot, a new job for every season

Yarbo M-series Featured 2

I’ll admit, I wasn’t expecting a yard robot to be one of the more entertaining things I’d get my hands on at IFA 2026. Then I walked over to Yarbo’s booth and started playing around with the M Series.

The basic idea is wonderfully simple: instead of buying a different robot for every outdoor chore, Yarbo gives you one tracked robotic Core and a collection of attachments. Swap the module, and suddenly your robot has a completely different job. Mowing? Yep. Snow? Yep. Leaves? Yep. And there’s even a trimmer module on the way.

The future of smart homes may not be more devices, but better-designed experiences

Minimalism has reshaped almost every corner of the modern home. Kitchens hide appliances behind seamless cabinetry, televisions have become slimmer and more discreet, and storage is increasingly designed to disappear into the architecture. The goal isn’t simply to own better things. It’s to create spaces that feel calmer, cleaner, and more intentional. Smart home technology, however, has largely moved in the opposite direction. Every upgrade seems to introduce another speaker, another controller, another light, or another connected device competing for space and attention.
