Your travel companions:

Latitude Buddies plush mascots with suitcases, symbolizing playful family travel
At Latitude & Leisure, we believe every journey should be as unique as the traveler who takes it. That’s why we’re thrilled to introduce the Latitude Buddies—our playful mascots who bring personality and inspiration to every adventure.  

Inspired by Jellycat’s whimsical plush characters, these little explorers have taken on personalities all their own. From Flip’s street-smart energy to Lulu’s sunny vacation vibes, each Buddy represents a different way to experience the world. They’re here to remind us that travel isn’t just about the destination—it’s about the stories we create along the way.  

As we embark on new adventures, the Latitude Buddies will be right there with us, sharing their unique perspectives and helping us celebrate all the ways you can explore the world, your way.  

So, whether you’re dreaming of a luxurious escape, a cozy retreat, or a spontaneous beach day, the Latitude Buddies are ready to inspire your next great journey. Let’s get rolling—Flip’s already got his skateboard out!
