About Us

Your Destination for Travel Wear and Accessories

 At Kiss Hug Five, we’re more than just a travel wear brand; we’re rooted in cherished memories and a lifelong love for adventure. Our journey began with something as simple as a nightly bedtime ritual between my two daughters and me. Each night, after telling them a story, we’d end with a kiss, a hug, and a high five – a routine that became known as "Kiss Hug Five."

That bond inspired me in so many ways, and eventually, it became the foundation for *Kiss Hug Five*, not only as a symbol of family affection but as a name for ventures close to my heart. Years ago, I formed *Kiss Hug Five Entertainment*, a film production company that thrived in the independent film scene. Although that chapter has since closed, the name remained a powerful connection to my creativity and personal journey.

Fast forward to today, and *Kiss Hug Five* has transformed once again – this time into a travel wear and accessories brand designed for those who, like me, have always had an itch to explore. I’ve traveled the world since 2017, meeting my fiancée in Vietnam and drawing inspiration from travel vloggers like Kara and Nate, The Endless Adventure, and Lost LeBlanc. This lifestyle ignited my passion for creating comfortable, stylish, and meaningful travel gear for Generation X adventurers.

Why Travel Wear for Gen X?

Travel is about more than just reaching a destination – it’s about the experiences along the way. As someone who’s been infatuated with travel since childhood, I know that feeling of wanderlust. From dreaming about palm trees in California while growing up in Queens to immersing myself in cultures around the world, travel has always been in my DNA.

I wanted to create a line of travel wear that embodies comfort, practicality, and a bit of nostalgia for fellow Gen X travelers. Whether you're navigating through bustling airports or exploring a new city, our designs are made to keep you at ease while making a statement.

Our products reflect a deep understanding of what it means to be a traveler of a certain age – someone who’s seen a bit of the world but craves more, all while seeking the balance between comfort and style. Every piece of clothing, every accessory, has been carefully curated to ensure that you not only look good but feel good, no matter where your adventures take you.

Why Kiss Hug Five?

This store is the culmination of years of personal and professional growth. Starting from small Redbubble and Etsy shops, *Kiss Hug Five* has evolved into a Shopify store where the best of our travel designs now live. Here, you'll find apparel and accessories that speak to the adventurous spirit of Generation X – the ones who grew up dreaming about far-off places and who now have the freedom to explore them.

At Kiss Hug Five, we believe in creating travel wear that not only supports your journey but also tells your story. So whether you’re embarking on your next adventure or just daydreaming about one, we’ve got you covered.

Join us as we explore the world, one stylish, comfortable piece of travel wear at a time.
