Notably, all of these have been hand-painted by Amanda, unveiling a range of one-of-a-kind luggage. It boats gradients tones throughout, blending together tones of purple, teal, gold, green, and blue. This idea came to fruition when Amanda was tattooing a scientist who studied beetles. She was interested in these studies and translated that through a series of luggage. She painted 200 shells at ROAM, as two shells come together to make one suitcase. Notably, ROAM also allows customers to [choose their own trim colors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/airs) with the options of "Carolina Lilac, Kyoto Black, Venetian Green, Como Blue, and Ibiza Sky."
