11 Best Barbie Collabs (2023): Polaroids, Pool Floats, Hair Tools

I'm a big fan of Sonix phone cases. I had the Illusion phone case on my iPhone 13 for almost two years and it still looked brand new even after a number of drops (oops). Naturally, I was happy to slap on another Sonix case to my iPhone 14 Pro Max—especially a Barbie one!

The Vintage Barbie case features black and white zig-zag stripes resembling the same bathing suit pattern on the first-ever Barbie doll. Sonix also threw in adorable pops of glitter, pink, and the iconic Barbie logo. It's protective too—complete with raised edges around the display along with a camera bump for full coverage. With built-in MagSafe, I swap between attaching my wallet and PopSocket PopGrip. It's an adorable little pink system. —Brenda Stolyar

In one of Barbie's teaser trailers that made me scream, Ken pulls out a pair of bright yellow plastic roller skates and declares, “I literally go nowhere without them!” After obtaining a pair of the official inline skates Impala made for the movie, I agree. Disclosure: I already own a pair of Impala quad skates that are of dubious build quality. The skate plates on the bottom were drilled in crooked out of the box, so I had a tendency to drift sideways until those were repaired.

The inlines, however, are awesome. They fit true to size and the boots are well-padded. After several days of blacktop skating, I don’t have bruises on my feet or shins. The 84A hardness feels fantastic on asphalt and you also have the option to switch to bigger wheels if you’re staying outside. I do have to warn you—cars stopped to look at these highlighter-colored skates, so these are not for the meek! Just buy yourself a pair of tiny retro track shorts to go to your next skate disco night and roll (hah!) with it. —Adrienne So

I've owned my yellow Kipling crossbody bag for years and it's still in great condition, so the Kipling Art Barbie Tote Bag was a no-brainer. It's a more comfortable alternative to my current travel duffel bag, plus it's way cuter. The exterior is a perfect shade of bright pink (with a glossy lacquered coating that makes it pop), and the inside is lined with an adorable Barbie-themed print with the signature logo and images of different dolls. The nylon material is lightweight and water-resistant.

Most importantly, it's extremely roomy. I used it on a recent trip to the shore and managed to pack a week's worth of clothes without overstuffing the bag. The zippers on the outside let you expand and contract it depending on how much space you need. The dual handles make it easy to carry without weighing down your shoulders, and there's a luggage passthrough strap, so you can slide it over your carry-on's collapsible handle. But my favorite feature of all is the included key clip inside, so I never have to dig around to find my apartment keys. It's officially my new go-to travel companion. —Brenda Stolyar

★ A mini backpack alternative: Kipling's Barbie collection includes a variety of different bags including the Seoul Small Backpack ($134), which I also tested. It was perfect for a day trip I recently took—with plenty of room for a sweater, water bottle, snacks, and my Kindle. It's also adorable, with the same color and accents as the tote, and comfortable to wear for long periods of time. Just cross your fingers it comes back in stock.
