Kate in Kenya Kate Lesher is well versed on all the packing items you need for any type of trip. As the senior vice president for Mark & Graham , a gifting brand that has a cult following for its travel products, Kate oversees the collection and introduces new items to the mix. I personally swear by Mark & Graham for my domestic and global adventures and on car trips and flights.
I rely on their packing cubes, carry-on and check-in suitcases, beach bags, duffels, totes and tech organizers. The best part is that everything can be personalized and is fashionable to boot. Kate is well-suited for her job: raised on the East Coast, she developed an early love for exploration, a tradition she continues with her three young adult children, she says.
Their trips included a cherished return to Kenya, a country that holds a special place in her heart since her first visit when she was 20. In Kate’s role, she travels internationally, working to develop new products, while always keeping an eye out for inspiration for the next “it” thing. A self-confessed packaholic, she enjoys bringing a variety of options on her escapades.
