With cannabis tourism on the rise, BIC set out to help United States consumers travel better with a limited-edition BIC Flickaway Weekender Bag design. The bag itself features details the cannabis community will appreciate, such as a red, removable Stash Sidekick, (an insulated pouch to keep goods discreetly organized) plus it's equipped with trip-ready accessories: an eight-pack of BIC Counterculture Design Pocket Lighters, a travel tray, a stash jar, and custom luggage tag and bag charms.
This isn't the first functional accessory by BIC, and this practical, fashionable travel solution builds on the success of the 2023 Best Buds Bags and 2024's Hold the Phone Case. The BIC Flickaway Weekender Bag launched in two colors—Orange Blaze and Purple Haze—for just $4.20 each, celebrating 4/20 alongside the BIC Flickaway Sweepstakes.
