Designer Brandon Blackwood has dressed Hollywood’s hottest stars, racked up industry awards for his handbag and footwear designs, gone viral across social media platforms — and now he’s soaring to new heights with the launch of amenity kits created exclusively for American Airlines customers. The ultimate ready-to-wear accessory, Blackwood’s amenity kits will be available on select American flights beginning later this month.
Through early September, premium cabin customers on American international and select transcontinental flights will be greeted by a complimentary Blackwood-designed amenity kit at their seat:
- Flagship® First and Flagship Suite® Preferred seats: A compact travel version of Blackwood’s trademark Portmore handbag, featuring the same structured design in denim and wraparound zip closure
- Flagship® Business and Flagship Suite® seats: A travel pouch with flair, the black kit features red accents along the zip closure and Blackwood’s recognizable checkered pattern on the interior
- Premium Economy: Featuring Blackwood’s checkered pattern on the exterior in blue and white, this kit is a statement piece for all
Customers on European getaways, like Chicago to Naples, Italy; Charlotte, North Carolina, to Athens, Greece; and Philadelphia to
Edinburgh, Scotland, can get their own kits when flying in premium cabins. Not crossing the pond this year? Customers on Flagship® transcontinental and Hawaii flights can also score an amenity kit when traveling in premium cabins. American offers Flagship® service to a variety of international destinations:
