The Maker
The story of Elena — Swiss-born, American at heart, and obsessed with handcraft.
Elena's Story
Born in Switzerland and proud of 44 years in the USA, Elena spent 24 years in real estate before following her true passion — travel and handcraft.
Fun Travel was born from a simple belief: your travel accessories should bring you joy, not anxiety. Every pillow and piece of jewelry is made to be affordable, beautiful, and light enough that losing a suitcase won't break your heart.
"I will produce reasonably priced travel items that you will not regret buying if a suitcase is lost, stolen or misplaced." — Elena

Priced so that if your luggage is ever lost, you won't lose sleep over your accessories.
Every piece is hand-strung, hand-sewn, and made with care by Elena herself.
No two pieces are exactly alike. Your jewelry is yours and yours alone.
