The Edit: Travel Essentials We Love

From timeless luggage to elegant accessories, these are our curated essentials for life on the move.

After years of travelling—and watching what actually works for my clients—I've developed strong opinions about what's worth packing. These aren't just beautiful things (though they are that). They're pieces that make travel smoother, more organized, and frankly, more enjoyable.

Consider this your edited guide to travelling well, from someone who's seen it all and knows what lasts.

A Note on Packing

The right luggage makes everything easier, but here's what really matters: pack less than you think you need, bring pieces that work multiple ways, and always keep your essentials in your carry-on. I've seen too many trips start stressfully because someone packed too much or checked something they desperately needed.

Travel light. Travel smart. And invest in pieces that make the journey itself more enjoyable.
