Focus on Getting the Best In Travel Accessories

The Alpaca Travel Set is the ultimate luxury when travelling on long-haul flights, lengthy road trips or even the overnight train ride. Wrapping up in a hypoallergenic 100 percent baby alpaca blanket will give you the shut-eye you need so you can arrive at your destination refreshed. The travel set includes an eye mask too, making it easier to sleep even if it’s daytime!

You’ve got the luggage but using textured calf leather tags will ensure you identify your bags instantly when waiting for them at the airport carousel. These luggage tags come in seven distinct colours plus you can personalise them with your own initials. No more stressing about arriving at your luxury villa with someone else’s luggage!

Talking about personalisation – how about monogramming your holiday accessories or even better, gifting your travel companion with personalised vacation gear? You can choose from over 50 different monogram font styles and thread colours. How’s that for turning your travel gear or gift into a bespoke item that stands out on the beach, in the countryside or at the train station?

Last But Not Least – Design Your Holiday Wardrobe

Designing your holiday wardrobe depends a whole lot on where you’re going, the weather and the type of activities you intend to do while travelling. Are your days going to be spent visiting wine farms, tanning next to your own private pool or hiking through the Andes? Will you be partying the night away at high-end nightclubs or sipping champagne under starry nights in the middle of Africa?

Having the right gear ensures you holiday in comfort and style. If you’re looking for glamorous dresses and skirts in various designs, colours and patterns, Lexy London is your solution. Created by a former stylist, Lexy London is a capsule collection of tailored, flattering dresses suitable for all tastes and styles.

If true couture is more your style, Nina Morris is the ultimate fashion collection for your unique dress taste. Every item is made with love and exquisite craftsmanship. Only the best fabric is used and every piece is made in Nina’s own atelier based in London. What’s more, your Nina Morris holiday wear will last you for many years.

Well, you can when you select an item or two from the Contessina London jewellery collection. The designs are inspired by art and nature with each piece handcrafted with premium-quality materials. How’s that for adding a touch of sophistication?

Every holiday wardrobe, no matter where your destination is, should include quality exotic leather accessories made with high standards. Adding a touch of timeless elegance won’t go amiss and you can do it effortlessly with the Cape Cobra collection of quality handbags, totes, clutches, wallets, belts and more.

These swimming trunks are truly exceptional.

They tick all the boxes when it comes to quality craftsmanship, colours, and shape. The collection is exclusively hand made in Italy from the finest materials and is inspired by the beautiful coastal region of Maremma in Tuscany. The fast-drying material is coloured with natural extracts to respect the environment. If you’re looking for a touch of personalization, the plain trunks can be monogrammed with your initials.
