W Hotels x Thomas Lélu have launched an exclusive collection of "canvas tote bags and notecards in collaboration with contemporary French artist, photographer, and author Thomas Lélu; this collection draws inspiration from Lélu’s recent visits to the newly transformed global flagship W New York – Union Square and the West Coast flagship W Hollywood."
The collection features five custom quotes paired with Lélu's distinctive illustrations, reflecting the themes of modern travel. These tote bags and notecard sets will be available at W Hotels globally, as well as for purchase in-room at select hotels and through W Hotels The Store online.
Featured quotes include “Can I stay a bit longer? Stay forever,” “Hi! Could you bring me a cocktail? I need attention,” “Are you in love? No, I'm at the pool,” “Wake me up when there's no WiFi,” and “Sometimes all you need is a one-way flight.”
This collaboration highlights W Hotels' initiative to enhance guest experiences through artful and functional accessories.
