Style Notes
Five luxury travel accessories you need
Stylish accessories from our favourite brands, for the jet-setting aesthete
1. A FRAGRANCE FOR SUMMER
Desperate for a European summer as an antidote to our chilly weather? You could start browsing flight fares, or simply rely on the light, floral scent of the newest addition to the Chanel Les Eaux family. Inspired by Coco Chanel’s 1920s summer playground, Paris - Riviera provides an instant olfactory journey to the Côte d’Azur with notes of orange peel, jasmine, neroli, and sandalwood.
2. FASHIONABLE LUGGAGE
Travel in style with Delsey’s Chatelet Air range of Parisian-inspired luggage. This collection of fashionable yet resistant hard-shell suitcases, with luxuriously lined interiors and practical compartments and pockets, will make you love the journey as much as the destination.

3. TRAVEL POUCH & TAG
Who doesn’t love a good travel accessory? Whether you’re looking for a tag for your luggage or a stylish pouch in which to store all your documents, Okapi’s collection of hand-stitched leather travel accessories are next-level chic. Each piece is locally produced using ethically sourced skins that are dyed in an array of eye-catching colours.
4. A FRAGRANCE FOR WINTER
The surprising shots of citrus from bergamot and oil of orange that linger in the opening notes of this scent should be enough to convince you to add Winter Palace to your fragrance collection. The eye-catching black and gold bottle, bearing an iconic Chinese symbol — the dragon — may have you expecting a heady oriental scent but notes of vanilla, red tea accord, and dry amber wood accord give this oriental a fresh, slightly spicy, and highly nuanced character.

5. NOISE-CANCELLING WIRELESS HEADPHONES
Sony’s WH-1000XM3 wireless headphones have incredible noise-cancellation technology, amazing sound quality, and a comfortable over-ear fit. You can control volume level, play, pause, and skip songs with a quick swipe and tap of the over-ear panel, and even customise your listening according to atmospheric pressure and levels of ambient sound using the handy mobile app. These definitely have our stamp of approval.
