The Club guide to stylish travel accessories
Whether you’re off for a long weekend or jet-setting around the world, the right accessories will guarantee you arrive in style. Adam Tanous, founder of The Dapper Chapper, shares his favourites
Tag, you’re it!
Identify your bags instantly on the carousel with this chic luggage tag set by Aspinal of London (£35). The vintage tan croc print is stylish, while the Italian calf leather makes the pieces soft and durable. The set features two sizes, suitable for suitcases and carry-on bags. Each has a gold foil Aspinal signature address card and you can personalise the tags with up to four initials.
Mask force
When it’s time for some shut-eye on the plane, this eye mask by Otis Batterbee (£50) will help you look about as stylish as you can while asleep. In addition to blocking out the light, it has a velvet cotton backing for comfort. The final secret ingredient? A pinch of British lavender in the lining, to soothe tired eyes and aid restful sleep.
Fit kit
The Aēsop travel kit (£50) contains all the travel-size essentials you need in one luxurious set. The London range has unisex products for your hair, skin and body, including the brand’s famous parsley seed anti-oxidant hydrator, and a handy mouthwash. Plus, its all in one elegant case is perfect for slipping into your carry-on bag.
Prepare to pouch
If you’re not sure a pouch is something you really need, think again. The Herschel Supply Co pouch (£70) is both practical and cool. This little accessory is convenient for when you want to grab something easily from your bag while on the plane.
Access all areas
Show your passport some love with this beautiful burgundy Smythson passport holder (£135). With a soft, deerskin exterior and smooth, calf leather interior, it has two convenient pockets for your passport and boarding pass.
Nailed it
The Czech & Speake air-safe, leather-bound manicure set (£198) is a neat bit of kit containing nail clippers, tweezers, safety scissors and a Teflon-coated synthetic crystal file. Designed to resist rust and bacteria, and meet travel regulations, it will happily find a home in a dapper traveller’s hand luggage.
Hear me
When it’s time to zone out, these Bluetooth wireless headphones from Bowers and Wilkins (£329) will do the trick. They have a 17-hour battery life and are compatible with any device. A really smart piece of tech.
In the bag
When it comes to leather, nothing says luxury like Mulberry. This clipper bag (£1,350) has a suede-lined interior, two short handles, a detachable leather shoulder strap, hidden padlock and canny slip pocket. It’s built to last, suitable for all kinds of holidays, and guarantees you’ll look good wherever you are.
