This past weekend's Parade Magazine cited a new trend: baggage-delivery services that collect and drop your luggage off at your destination.
"services are charging travelers from $130 to $460 to ship a 35-pound suitcase overnight from L.A. to New York, and business is booming."
Actually, luggage-free travel (as it's called) is nothing new. A service we discovered years ago through DailyCandy, ships your Chanel from Chicago to Chile but with a twist:
Garde Robe, a Manhattan-based wardrobe storage and organization company, can create a personal ultra organized cyber catalog of your clothing, shoes and accessory collections for reference from anywhere in the world. Garde Robe will take photos all your closetry, note detailed descriptions (size, color, designer, etc.) and ship it to your destination.
The process makes it easy for celebs, business people, and fashionistas to manage their goods (or their staff members who help them pack). One special note is the on-line resources helps with insurance and their on-call seamstresses repair and clean.
