New York’s (capsule) fashion trade show kicks off today and to mark the occasion, organizers are launching their first-ever “travel mart,” featuring an exclusive (capsule) collection of travel must-haves designed exclusively for the event.

Five specialty items have been designed by participating show designers, including former J.Press creative director Mark McNairy, UK-based Ally Capellino, Corduroy-fave Jack Spade, and local labels and merchants SHARPS Barber & Shop and Bowery Lane Bicycles. Each item comes tagged with a collectible (capsule) stick pin, and will only be sold at the (capsule) show in New York this week, and online at www.capsuleshow.com and www.oaknyc.com for a limited time.

Our favorite is the Ally Capellino Denim Carry-on Bag (above). This special-edition Alphonse rucksack from the British bag designer comes in a dark-washed denim and is topped off with a leather buckle and a special Ally Capellino x (capsule) branded handle. With plenty of roomy pockets and versatile styling (we’d take it to work or to the cottage), it’s proof that the rucksack is making a comeback.

Also on our list of things to pick up: SHARPS’ handy travel set of no-fuss grooming products, which include shaving essentials, Daily Prep Moisturizing Lotion, shampoo and a full-size “Happy Me All Over Soap Bar” all packaged together in a portable gift (or travel) box (photo at left). It’s a sharp take (no pun intended) on the basic travel and grooming kit.

The (capsule) show takes place today and tomorrow at Center 548 in New York and the (capsule) Travel Mart is now open for business at www.capsuleshow.com and beginning next week atwww.oaknyc.com.
