MAMA'S GOT A BRAND-NEW BAG!



In the mood for a quick getaway or planning a dream vacation? Stop in Benchley Luggage & Gifts at Fashion Island, a one-stop boutique for fine luggage collections, travel accessories, games, business and personal gifts.

For more than 30 years, Benchley has supplied the best in luggage, including lines such as Tumi, Hartmann, Rimowa, Kipling, Zero Halliburton, Briggs & Riley, Brics and more.

And it's recently added two new lines worth checking out: French 1946 (pictured above) and Knomo bags from London. French 1946 is a modern reinvention of French luggage. The Knomo collection includes high quality leather quilted laptop bags, messenger bags and more. Each design offers space for laptops, PDAs, MP3 players and more. The line arrived before the holidays and is a best seller.

Open 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday to Friday; 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Saturday; 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Sunday. Across from Neiman Marcus at Fashion Island in Newport Beach. 949.759.9101.
