From mid-spring 2021, UK weekend escapes and last-minute getaways are finally on the horizon. Don’t get caught short – the right travel gear is the first step to a smooth holiday. Weekenders call for decent-sized holdalls and duffel bags, such as this suede piece from H&M, or artisan label Stelar’s offering which can fold down into a handbag. If planning a day trip, opt for a chic backpack or easy-to-wear cross-body bag; Strathberry’s sleek totes are best for those travelling with a laptop. For the finishing touch, invest in nifty, stackable washbags, such as Anya Hindmarch’s version made from recycled plastics and this tropical laundry bag from Ohh Deer. Whether you’re going away for one night or several, these are the smartest travel bags for women – or men or them, of course, should they appeal.
