Fact: Cute Travel Gear Makes the Journey Less Stressful

Women's SuperLight Tree Runners

($150, Allbirds)

These lightweight runners, made of breathable FSC®-certified eucalyptus tree fiber, will get you to your gate blister-free.

Stainless Steel Water Bottle with Filter

($33.98, Brita)

Because you can never be too hydrated when flying, this stainless steel bottle promises hassle-free, great-tasting water on the go, plus its double-wall insulation that keeps water cold for up to 24 hours.

The Large

($490, Away)

This punchy magenta colour is enough to make us hit “add to cart,” but it also boasts all the bells and whistles you want in a suitcase — lightweight yet durable, with a polycarbonate hard shell, thoughtful details like 360° spinner wheels, and an interior compression system and water-resistant laundry bag that make packing less painful.

AirPods Pro (2nd Generation)

($329, Apple)

Dealing with a headphone cord while juggling luggage is a crime, so treat yourself to top-notch wireless ear pods that offer superb sound quality — and next-level noise-cancellation for whenever you need to drown out the sounds around you.

Metro Duffel

($280, Monos)

Made of water-resistant, ultra-microfibre vegan leather, this roomy duffel has an interior laptop compartment and a built-in trolley sleeve fits around the handle of most suitcases — and converts into an extra pocket when not in use. Smart!

Women’s Isabella Hip Pack

($49.99, North Face)

A hip bag is a must for tossing around your waist or wearing cross-body — the more hands-free you can be while travelling, the better. This sporty style has handy features like a zip pocket for small essentials and an internal key hook.

Serene Scalp Oil Control Dry Shampoo Powder

($58, Oribe)

Who has the energy to wash their hair before an early flight? If you need a little hair refresh on the go, this ultra-absorbing dry shampoo powder mattifies the scalp and reduces excess sebum. Bonus: ingredients like a specialty starch blend and kaolin clay absorb oil, dirt and product buildup while mango leaf extract helps support a healthy scalp microbiome.

Heritage Hardshell Carry On Luggage

($275, Herschel)

The Canadian brand recently launched hardshell luggage and it’s not to be slept on. Each piece was performance-tested, including drop, tumble, wheel mileage, trolley handle jerk, and zipper cycle tests, and is backed by a Limited Lifetime Warranty.

Whimsy

($99, BonLook)

Sunnies are a necessity for landing in different time zones and camouflaging bags from those overnight hauls, so they might as well be cute!

Reborn 3-in-1 Tote

($94.99 , Bugatti)

Made of 100 per cent recycled water-repellent polyester, this multi-functional carryall is not only environmentally friendly, but durable and water-resistant. It also includes optional padded back straps so you can use it as backpack or a tote.
