Shopping for Travel...



TravelSmith are the experts of Travel Wear. Their clothing is lightweight and wrinkle-resistant. Their prices are a bit on the higher side but can be found on sale and on discount sites. TravelSmith outfits seem tailored for both men and women travelers.

TravelSmith Outfitters, Inc. is a California company that retails clothing and shoes for men and women. It offers luggage and bags; travel supplies, such as belts and wallets, health and wellness, toiletries, packing aids, plugs and adapters, electronic and gadgets, travel games, and books and journals; and gift certificates. The company was founded in 1991 and is based in Novato, California with outlet stores in Berkeley and Palo Alto, California; and West Chester, Ohio.



The iconic product that Travelsmith sells is what they call “The Indispensable Black Travel Dress.” Originally introduced a decade ago, the simple dress was a combination of product development and marketing genius. Made of a soft and stretchy fabric that didn’t require ironing or dry cleaning, the dress had no zippers, buttons, or snaps. The high empress/princess waistline looks great on everyone. Travelsmith slowly began expanding their line by introducing various lengths, different sleeve lengths, necklines, and colors. Over the years they probably sold about 20 variations on this dress. The nice thing is that the basic product is still available today.



Most of the clothing they sell is their own unique brand. They regularly introduce new items, and everything eventually goes on sale. If you live in Northern California your in luck, older inventory regularly is greatly reduced, which means you can find some incredible bargains in their sale section. So go online and sign up for their mailing list so you can be notified when they have one of their huge warehouse sales. Great prices, but bring your comfy shoes, because you’ll need to scour the racks to find the right sizes and such.
