I designed this bag in the same way I designed everything else, so largely based on right angles, but perhaps a little more emotionally, more personally. Designing a handbag is undoubtedly different to designing a Braun stereo system, but I applied the same principles. It had to be functional, visually durable, and very aesthetic. Less, but better.

Whether you're planning a quick road trip to the nearest beach or a much-needed couple's getaway, spending a few days away calls for a sturdy, stylish, and functional travel bag. We often turn to our favourite weekenders to hold everything we need for short trips and overnight stays. The best weekender bags are roomy enough to carry your clothes, toiletries, and a pair of comfortable shoes or two

While you can toss a laptop into just about any bag, the best laptop backpacks are specially tailored to pamper what is probably one of your most expensive (and delicate) possessions. That means a padded pocket lined with soft non-scratch material, easy access to your computer without unpacking everything and lots of extra pockets for portable mice, chargers and other accessories.

PROOF Wallet is a vertical, wrap-around design that keeps the metal front but softens everything else. The Founder model pairs an aerospace-grade aluminum plate with top-grain leather and a wide elastic strap, aiming for something that still feels slim but looks more like a compact card case than a tactical gadget. It is pitched as a minimalist wallet built for professionals, which mostly means it does not scream EDC the way most metal wallets do.

If your suitcase has seen better days-or you're just ready for an upgrade-Amazon is quietly packed with carry-on deals worth grabbing just in time for 2026 travel plans. We found top-rated options starting at just $23, including lightweight spinners, polished hard-shell styles, and compact picks designed to make getting through the airport a whole lot easier. Whether you're planning a quick weekend trip or gearing up for a long-haul flight, these are the carry-ons that actually deliver.

As a food and travel journalist, I'm constantly on the move. Most days start the same way: laptop in my tote, water bottle in hand, and out the door-whether that means working from an airport gate, answering emails on a flight, or heading straight from meetings to dinners and events. When your office changes daily, having a laptop bag that keeps everything organized isn't just helpful-it's essential.

When it comes to your wardrobe, it can be easy to define "bougie" as a piece of clothing that looks or feels expensive - and while the items on this list check those boxes, they're also so clever, you'll wonder how you ever did without them. Scroll on to shop for chic loungewear with extra functional features; trendy and practical fits for both day and night; and accessories that solve all sorts of fashion-related dilemmas.

It's not a multi-thousand pound handbag from Hermes that best captures the new era of It bags, but a 149 tote from John Lewis. Launched this season, it's deeper (45cm) and taller (33cm) than your average handbag, and comes loaded with good intentions. It's able to hold your packed lunch, flask and book, as well at a push as your gym kit.

"If it were up to me, I'd take everything I own on the plane. Admittedly, I am an over-packer," she told T+L. "It's also just being a stylist for my whole adult life, you know? All I ever think of is having options and not having the thing you want or not having the thing you need. But when I'm packing for clients or friends, I'm very strategic, and when I'm packing for myself, I'm not strategic at all."
