Alison Van Der Lande – The Tania overnighter
Alison van der Lande claims that all her bags are made in small, family-run Italian leather workshops that represent meticulous craftsmanship. The soft, supple leather provides unmatched style, while split internal pockets – one zipped for bulkier items and another for lipstick and a mobile phone or similar accessories – ensure the utmost functionality whatever the setting. Available in metallic-silver/champagne, white, and sky blue – and in cognac and navy.

Delsey – ‘Karat’ trolley case 70cm
Light at only 3.17kg yet incredibly durable, Delsey’s Karat case is built from 100% lightweight polycarbonate, with handles constructed from aircraft-grade aluminium. But this durability doesn‘t detract from its attractiveness – the ridged casing giving it modern styling – and functionality, with its fully lined, four-compartment interior allowing for maximum storage. In addition, its four sets of twin 360-degree wheels make moving a breeze.
