Testing the Travel Collection from Lola Blankets and Dagne Dover

Introducing the Travel Collection

Have you ever thought about those flimsy, free airplane blankets that get reused? That's a good reason to bring your own blanket on a flight, especially if you're like me and tend to get cold easily. When I heard about the newly launched travel blanket from Lola, I decided to put it to the test on a cross-country flight, coincidentally the same day I received it.

Product Details

Launched in collaboration with Dagne Dover, a brand known for its stylish neoprene bags, the limited edition Lola x Dagne Dover collection retails for $375. It includes a travel blanket and a medium-sized Landon Carryall bag, designed for modern travel enthusiasts. The collection comes in four standout neutral colors, and I opted for the classic Onyx black.

Quality Assessment

First on the list is the Landon Carryall, one of the most beloved products. I started using the bag right out of the box, and its hidden features quickly revealed themselves. While juggling a suitcase and a personal item, I had to quickly shove a breakfast bag into the Landon when boarding. To my surprise, the sides of the bag automatically expanded, creating extra spacious storage.

Material and Blanket Size

The Lola blanket measures 40 x 48 inches, providing ample comfort to wrap around your body without falling to the airplane floor. Although it's made from synthetic materials, it feels incredibly soft and luxurious. Each blanket is hand-stitched, stain-resistant, machine washable, and doesn’t shed. I felt perfectly warm even in the coldest exit row seat.

Pros and Cons

There are several things I love about this collection:

• Extremely soft material.
• The overall set is more affordable than purchasing items separately.
• Machine washable, making it easy to clean.

However, a few downsides can't be ignored:

• The blanket is somewhat bulky and not easy to fold neatly.
• The price is relatively high.

User Experience

Using this blanket feels like being wrapped in a soft layer of fur. However, folding it back up after use can be as uncomfortable as lugging beach gear back to the car after a long day. I tried rolling it up, but compressing it neatly was not an easy task.

Helpful Tips for Vietnamese Travelers

If you're planning a long flight, this blanket could be a fantastic choice for those who prioritize comfort. However, consider its size and weight when packing. For Vietnamese travelers, you can purchase this collection directly from Lola's website using the discount code CNTRAVELER35 to save 35% on your entire order.

Conclusion

Overall, the Lola x Dagne Dover collection is an exciting option for frequent travelers. Despite a few minor drawbacks, the comfort it offers will surely satisfy you during long flights or road trips.
