Sneak Peek: Check Out Houston-Based Foreign Fare’s Spring 2025 Collection

A new look from the soft landings collection
FROM THE OWNERS of popular Montrose haunts Traveler’s Table and Traveler’s Cart is another jetset-focused business. Owners Thy and Matthew Mitchell launched Foreign Fare in the fall of 2023 with long-haul travelers in mind. The pieces are wrinkle-free and designed to be functional as well as stylish. The line was recently featured in Travel & Leisure as a “first class look.”
The Spring 2025 collection includes three new concepts. The soft landing collection is ultra-plush and made for hitting the streets after an overseas flight. The zip away vest can be worn three ways and is meant to be layered — ideal for going from humid Houston to a cooler destination. And, the PaperChic pants offer an elastic waistband in the back for a comfortable but flattering fit.
“I am thrilled to debut these new styles for Foreign Fare, expanding our collection to meet the needs of today’s modern, stylish traveler,” said Thy. “Inspired by my own travels, I designed these pieces to seamlessly combine sophistication and practicality to offer essentials that elevate the travel experience. I can’t wait to see others embrace them on their adventures.”
Take a look at the Spring 2025 collection below.
