The official Taco Bell Shop is a destination for branded t-shirts, ski jumpsuits, onesies and home decor, as well as a brand-new novelty luggage collection inspired by the quick-service restaurant's own hot sauce packets. With fellow Southern California company, Calpak, Taco Bell created a set of four bags with spicy-hot colorways and motifs to speak to fans of Mexican food.
The capsule collection of travel essentials created in collaboration with Calpak includes the Fire! carry-on suitcase, Hot! duffel bag, Diablo! cross-body bag, and Mild! five-piece packing cube set.
While the public will have to wait until April 26th to get their hands on these travel goods, members of the Taco Bell Fire Tier Rewards program have already gotten access.
