LUXURY TRAVEL COMPANION: Holiday Season Gift Guide

Rimowa Essential Check-In L Gloss Red, £850 and Rimowa Essential Cabin Gloss Red, £680.

‘Tis the season, which begs the question: what should I give?

Many of us use the festive month and New Year as an opportunity for a getaway. Luxury travel is more about curated experiences and adventures over vacations. Many look for exceptional experiences that are tailored especially to the individual wants, needs and desires, offering a more exclusive and personalised touch. With that in mind we’ve curated a selection of luxury travel items you can gift to those with wanderlust.

Travel accessories have transformed from mere functional items to coveted style statements this holiday season. Fashion and function blend seamlessly - from compact pouches that double as art pieces to tech accessories that feel like jewellery, and travel gear that's as aesthetically pleasing as it is efficient.

From Loewe's sculptural pebble pouches to Rimowa's architectural suitcases, and CHANEL's stunning dual function watch necklace, these aren't just items you pack, they're extensions of personal style that turn every journey into a curated experience. Items like Johnstons of Elgin’s cashmere cape, Celine’s scrunchies by Hedi Slimane and Dior glasses add those finishing elements that elevate travel style.

Comfort is also an important aspect of a well-curated travel experience. Whether it's a long-haul flight or an escape somewhere warm, ALO Leggings and NIVIOUR hoodies paired with Louis Vuitton boots are the way to travel in style but also provide maximum comfort. Don’t forget self-care. Travelling may result in dry lips and skin and so what better way to turn up the hydration than with K-beauty favourite Dr. Jaart+?

Finally, in-flight entertainment needn’t be just about the screen, why not gift Hermès’ stunning travel chess set or Nothing’s perfectly compact and aesthetically pleasing earpods. It’s the little things and that extra level of thought that will garner your gift extra points this season.

So, whether you are looking for last minute presents to give or the best ones to travel with, this isn't just a gift guide – it's a passport to a world where every journey is an opportunity to express yourself. Here is our nonexhaustive list:
