“I thought there was a need to bring elegance back to travel… and so began SteamLine.” Host Kristen Cole (in NYC) sits with Sara Banks (in Mauritius) over Zoom to discuss her Dublin-based SteamLine Luggage brand and mixing business with adventure as she travels the world with her family, over the past eighteen-months. Sara shares stories from time spent in Kenya, Bali, Australia, Colombia, Mauritius, Greece, and the U.S., expert packing and travel advice, and why less is always more. They also discuss Sara's enthusiasm for specialization and getting into season-less product, the brand's refurbishment program, collaborations, and her move into more vegan and natural materials. Kristen also touches on recent fashion news Peter Do at Helmut Lang, why she loves speaking with women entrepeneurs, her fantasy old-world train trip (via Wes Anderson's designed British Pullman carriage), Derry Girls on Netflix, social media docs Social Dilemma and LIKE, and costumes at the NYC Ballet.
