Travel Light

Stylish Picks For Your Next Trip

Travel is a chance at escape. Here, we advocate that it is also an opportunity to leave behind the heavy baggage for what’s lighter and brighter. We’ve selected some accessories meant to put a little spring back in your step—that is, once you’re free of the clutches of the TSA.

HIM

Organization: The expertly designed Alloy Compact Backpack by Incase has padded compartments for all your gadgetry.

Financial Mobility: The William Wallet by WCFactory, made with lightweight aluminum and a latex cord that snaps all your cards and cash snugly into place.

Retreat: AiAiAi’s professional-quality TMA-1 DJ Headphones are good enough for the clubs, but thanks to exchangeable cushions, comfortable enough for leisurely listening — and, according to the manufacturer, nearly indestructible.

Productivity: The Qmadix Portfolio has a removable Bluetooth keyboard, adding even more functionality to your iPad (or any other Bluetooth-compatible device).

Insulation: If it’s good enough for Danish seafarers, its good enough for you. Wearing an S.N.S Herning sweater means you can leave behind the heavy overcoat, and still survive the sub-zero temperatures of your average plane ride.

Pleasure: Haribo Original Gummi Bears will satisfy a sweet tooth and maybe even help you earn a few new friends.

HER

Inspiration: Yohji Yamamoto designed the Furoshiki Bag for The Victoria & Albert Museum, inspired by the museum’s textile collection.

Comfort: A cashmere-silk blend scarf by CRUMPET will add a punch of color to your travel ensemble, and stashing a pair of Falke’s Classic Airport Socks means no more bare-footing it through security.

Contemplation: A classically designed Postalco Notebook will look chic on a beach in Zihuatanejo or next to a latte in Berlin.

Correspondence: Today, carrying a pen may be an anachronism, so you may as well make it a statement of style. The LAMY Safari Pen delivers the most visceral pleasure that can be aroused from setting a pen to paper, and will add extra charm to the postcards you send home.

Privacy: A Mary Green Silk Eye Mask is a kinder way of saying “Do Not Disturb”.
