For the person in your life who’d rather be… anywhere else, we’ve compiled a list of holiday travel accoutrements. Some are for business; some, of course, are for pleasure.
(L) Nice: Paul Smith‘s wash bag is open-sky-blue and adorned with a great vintage stamp collection. If you likes Grahame Greene, you probably like this, too. $190 (USD) at Mr. Porter.
(R) Naughty: If on the other hand you or your giftee likes Jack Kerouac and shitty whiskey, get this On The Road flask by Penguin. $36 at the Drake General Store (1150 Queen St. W and other locations).
(L) Nice: Apparently nice types do not think stealing hotel toiletries is fun. For such people, a Tocca toiletries kit is the thing. $28 at La Merceria (506 Adelaide).
(R) Naughty: This Kiki de Montparnasse “intimacy kit” contains mints, condoms, and personal lubricant, so you’re ready for anything the hotel masseuse has to offer. $40 at Stylebop.com.
(L) Nice: No crocodiles were harmed in the making of Nella Bella‘s “Paris” weekender; the skin is faux, and as a result, the price won’t induce guilt either. $98 at NellaBella.com.
(R) Naughty: If Kate Moss designed it, and she did, you just know there’s an (alleged) coke-baggy pocket inside. Just a thought. Also, if senseless glamour is your thing, you can’t not love. $1268.00 (USD) at Longchamp.com.
(L) Nice: Sweet dreams are made of Mac products now, as Cote en Ciel‘s popular iPad stand-slash-pillowcase proves. Is this the new sleeping with a book under your pillow before an exam? $85 (USD) at Mr. Porter.
(R) Naughty: The louche life gets portable with this sturdy wine sack, the perfect accompaniment to a moveable feast. $69.95 at Uncommon Goods.
(L) Nice: Take notes on the scenic route with this almost-twee Field Notes kit. $44.95 (USD) at Field Notes online; Field Notes products are also sold at the Drake General Store (1150 Queen St. W).
(R) Naughty: Or just take your flask/knife/classified information in this Bond-worthy BOSS Black bag. $250 at Harry Rosen (82 Bloor St. W).
(L) Nice: Record your future memoir-slash-Julia Roberts movie in Moleskine‘s neat Travel Journal. $16 at The Bay and most bookstores.
(R) Naughty: The Hedonist’s Guide to Marrakech, obviously. Previously featured here. $21.95 at Type Books (883 Queen St. W) and other bookstores.
(L) Nice: Backpacking in style is kind of oxymoronic, but how cute is this lemon-and-olive Fjallraven one? $65 at Jonathan & Olivia (49 Ossington).
(R) Naughty: Qwstion‘s three-day travel bag is utilitarian but also says “I’m with the band.” $449 at A2Zane.
