Summer is on the way, and after two years of disruption and isolation, many of us are starting to think about travelling further afield again. In fact I have my first trip abroad since February 2020 – a return to my beloved Copenhagen for its annual 3 Days of Design event – booked for June, and I can’t wait. So, I thought I’d dedicate this month’s instalment of ‘The Edit’ to everything you need for easy packing and comfortable journeys.
Whether you’re travelling for work or leisure, here are a few things to help make it as stress-free as possible. You’ll find clever technology, practical and stylish luggage that will last for years to come, reusable cups and bottles for drinks on the move, and skincare and aromatherapy to keep you calm and hydrated en route. There are even a few super-soft accessories to snuggle up in when things get chilly or you want to sleep – perfect for planes, trains, airports and hotels where the air-con is turned up a little too high!
