This week’s edit of lovely luxuries for travellers at heart

SUPPORT ACT | Spend’s travel pet peeve? Attempting to balance your tote on top of your cabin baggage when sprinting through airports, then watching it swing off and everything spill out.

Everything stays in place. Genius. july.com.au

GOING SOMEWHERE? | Guys, don’t be lazy by resorting to unsightly runners when it comes to airport-ready footwear. You can look stylish and still slip your shoes off at a moment’s notice in these leather “sneakers” with cross-elastic laces. Plus, they mould to your foot, making them comfortable enough to explore a new city in. Perfect for packing lightly. Secondskin Triple Stitch Sneakers, $2295, zegna.com.au

WHEELIE NICE | Industrial-looking aluminium suitcases have become ubiquitous on baggage carousels, so it’s refreshing to see the luxury luggage brands embrace leather-wrapped versions once again.

Available in seven colours, from brights to neutrals. Small Classic Grain suitcase, $3975, mulberry.com.au

A TOUCH OF SPICE | Every destination has a specific swimwear vibe: for glamorous cities you go vibrant, while natural island backdrops generally call for neutral palettes and earthy hues. This timeless Matteau one-piece, for example, is proof that brown is far from boring when you add a nutmeg stripe. Petite Square Maillot, $320, matteau-store.com

SUN SCREEN | Can’t you just see yourself strolling around the pool in your villa in the south of France this summer wearing flat sandals, swimmers, slouchy caftan cover-up and these blue beauties firmly fixed to your face? Their rectangular frames (made from a hardy nylon fibre) will look great on round and oval face shapes, while the lenses are a soft gradient grey to block out 100 per cent UVB and UVA rays.
