Whether holidaying in Blackpool or the Bahamas, packing hand luggage is a universal bore. But what’s to blame: the process, or your tired old holdall? Chances are it’s the latter, so count suitcase brand Tumi’s latest collaboration with resortwear label Orlebar Brown as a gift from the travel gods. The new four-piece tote collection has been designed as an upgrade to the usual cabin clobber, with iconic imagery from noted photographer Slim Aarons used across navy and khaki canvas bodies, finished with leather handles and a coordinating navy interior. And because you won’t want to leave bags this stylish just sitting in the hotel room, the pair has also added a waterproof rubber base that protects your belongings poolside, a strap tuck lock closure and a back slip pocket for last minute essentials. From now on, we’ll be leaving boring black on the business trips. The Tumi x Orlebar Brown collection is available now in select and stores online, priced from £295.
