Williams co-designed the entire collection with Away; she wanted the pieces to encourage people to dream about returning to their favorite destinations and influence future travel.

The collection includes four new colorways of the classic Away polycarbonate suitcase (coral, aqua, periwinkle and an exclusive swirl print), as well as the packing cubes, pet carrier and toiletry case in limited edition colors. Williams is also introducing two brand-new product silhouettes for Away; a convertible backpack tote and a jewelry sleeve.

While Williams has traveled (and quarantined) in order to compete on the tennis circuit, she kept this campaign local. The iconic athlete recreated two of her favorite locales, Paris and Rome, for the campaign, all from the safety of her own home. The very cheerful snaps include photos of Williams in her kitchen, donning a beret and surrounded by many a French pastry in front of a screen modeled after a chic Parisian café, as well as pictures of Williams in her backyard, posing next to a Vespa with a backdrop of the Trevi Fountain.
