Gucci Night Courrier soft GG Supreme carry-on duffle

Gucci is renowned for eclectic, modern design combined with fine Italian craftsmanship, and the romanticism of travel is a key source of inspiration for its collections.

Every appliqué is applied individually by hand to each piece by specialist artisans, ensuring no two bags are the same, giving each item a one-of-a-kind appearance. In addition to the bag’s unique exterior, its interior zip and smartphone pockets, as well as its detachable and adjustable nylon shoulder strap and cotton linen lining (available in black or beige) make it a stylish yet practical travel companion for journeys near and far.

Jimmy Choo Lee Bag

Jimmy Choo may be best known for its statement shoe designs, but its line of men’s accessories, launched by creative director Sandra Choi five years ago, merges formal and relaxed dress codes to complement smart and casual attire. The design of the versatile Lee L messenger bag was inspired by a photograph of Choi’s Grandpa Li, who carried a vintage version of the bag when he worked for the Hong Kong Post Office. Made in light mocha suede and black grainy leather, it’s just as practical as it is stylish, featuring a large main compartment, a flap closure with two buckle fastenings and multiple zipped pockets. Whether using it for work or on a weekend, the satchel-style bag can be worn with a suit or with jeans.
