The Heart Behind the Brand...

 

 

At SOLMATE, we believe that travel isn’t just about checking destinations off a list—it’s about creating space for the moments that matter. For us, that moment has always been our yearly getaway—a time to step away from the noise, soak up the sun, and truly reconnect.

When Kenny and I got married, our first big trip together was our honeymoon. Just the two of us, starting our life side by side. Then, like so many couples, life got busy. Careers, kids, responsibilities—all good things, but things that kept us home.

For years, we told ourselves we’d get away someday. But we finally realized: someday never comes unless you make it happen. We knew we had to prioritize intentional time away because that time together wasn’t just a luxury—it was essential for our marriage.

So, we made a commitment: once a year, no matter what, we take the trip. No distractions. No schedules. Just us, reconnecting, recharging, and soaking in the sun.

And that’s where SOLMATE was born.

In 2022, while prepping for our annual getaway, I ran into the same frustrating packing dilemma I always had: how do I travel with my favorite wide-brim hats without ruining them? I had tried everything—stuffing them in my suitcase (crushed), carrying them through the airport (annoying), or wearing them all day (not ideal).

So, I designed a solution....

SOLMATE is more than just a bag—it’s a piece of our story. A patent-pending travel essential designed for women who believe in taking the trip, making the memories, and keeping life’s most important connections strong.

This bag started as something I needed, but it became something so much bigger. It’s a reminder that taking time away isn’t selfish—it’s necessary. And now, I’m beyond excited to share it with you.

Whether it’s a getaway with your soulmate, a solo excursion to recharge, or a girls’ trip filled with laughter and adventure, SOLMATE is here to make traveling effortless, stylish, and stress-free.

We can’t wait for SOLMATE to be a part of your journey, too.

This is your reminder to TAKE THE TRIP. RECONNECT. RECHARGE.

Because time away isn't extra, it's ESSENTIAL!
