What's New, What's Hot is Travel Weekly's look at useful and fun travel gadgets, edited by Joe Rosen. First up, these one-of-a-kind bags are made from recycled materials such as bags used to transport cement, rice and animal feed in Southeast Asia. The artisan work embodied in these products is evidenced by their stylish, yet ultimately functional appeal. Lightweight, water resistant and durable, Torrain handbags include a small duffel; a fully lined backpack; and a sling that fits diagonally across the back.

You won't mistake these bags for any other on the airport carrousel, not with an iconic Smiley face emoticon logo emblazoned on them for all to see. The result of a partnership between the ATM luggage company and the SmileyWorld brand, the Smiley Classic Luggage set includes a 22-inch carryon, and 26- and 30-inch spinners, come in yellow or gray, have a zippered interior pocket, top and side soft handles, telescoping handles and a TSA-friendly, recessed locks.

A true space-saving convenience for women on the go, this practical product would be a welcome addition to any travel wardrobe. Packed compactly in a silk, draw-string bag designed to eliminate bulk and fit neatly in a purse or carryon, the Jilly Jacket from Chilly Jilly is made from a crease-resistant, microfiber fabric that is at once lightweight and comfortably warm. It is available in a variety of colors and sizes.

Created by designer Azin Valy, this unique line of dresses, scarves and neck pieces features NASA satellite images of world capitals printed on fine fabrics, matching topographic details to specific design details. For example, the Tiber River curves and forms the neckline of the ''Rome'' dress. Locations captured from 30,000 feet in the sky include New York, Chicago, Dallas, Miami, Mexico City, Buenos Aires, Cairo, Rome, London and Istanbul.

A built-in universal mounting mechanism for easy attachment to bikes, kayaks, jet skis and motorcycles completes the picture.
