First things first, a proper weekend bag that’s spacious enough to hold all your essentials. Designed to hold 52 litres worth of packing – plenty of space for a few days – it’s crafted with Brunello Cucinelli’s trademark attention to detail, with supple leather and contrasting brown handles, which give it a refined yet rugged appeal.

Any discerning jet-setter should be prepared for the plane and hotel lobby air conditioning. This is where Métier’s blanket comes in handy. Incredibly soft and designed for easy portability, you can store it in its accompanying pouch once you’ve reached your destination.

Loro Piana’s cashmere baseball cap is the ultimate quiet luxury accessory, and it’s practical to boot. The fabric is treated with the brand’s innovative Storm System® technology, which makes it resistant to light wind and rain – a prudent choice, should autumn decide to arrive early.

TOM FORD’s wash bag allows you to carry your grooming essentials wherever you go. And it’s capacious enough for a skincare regimen worthy of the famously well-groomed designer himself. The refined designed and premium leather construction mean it can double up as a pouch.

If you’re planning to pack a single pair of shoes, Christian Louboutin’s loafers are a smart choice for a getaway. They combine the smart look of classic mocs with the flexible rubber soles of sneakers, while their light-brown suede colour is guaranteed to work well with pretty much anything in your suitcase.

Stylish sunglasses should be among the first items to be allocated a berth in your suitcase, and it’s important that you choose a pair that’s versatile enough to be worn by the pool or out to lunch. If in doubt, you can’t go wrong with aviators. Cartier Eyewear’s are a great choice – their retro feel will complement most outfits nicely.
