The spacious drop bottom zippered compartment interior has an rPET lining. The retail price for the drop pocket weekend is $160 and it also comes in black, juniper green, and storm blue.

Under Seat Bag:

Like the larger sizes in the Avalon collection, the new 16-inch carry-on bag is also made from rPET materials, but this one fits right under the seat.
