Travelling with your luxury handbags and accessories can be both exciting and nerve-wracking.
Whether you’re jetting off to a tropical paradise or heading on a city break, your luxe collection deserves the same care and attention on the go as it does at home.
Over the years, we’ve picked up some essential tips to help you travel confidently and safely with your beloved pieces.
1. Use Dust Bags and Pouches
Your handbags and accessories deserve first-class treatment! Always pack your handbags in their dust bags to protect them from scratches, dust, and other mishaps during transit. For smaller items like jewellery or charms, padded pouches are a must to keep them safe and snug.
2. Stuff and Shape Your Handbags
No one wants to unpack a squished handbag! Stuff your bags with tissue paper or bubble wrap to maintain their shape while travelling.
Pro tip: If your travel bag allows, nest smaller handbags inside larger ones - like using a Book Tote to store a few smaller pieces. It’s space-saving and keeps everything in pristine condition!
3. Hand-Carry Your Luxe
This one’s non-negotiable: never check in your luxury handbags. Always carry your most valuable pieces in your hand luggage to avoid potential damage, loss, or theft. Trust us, your luxe deserves to fly first-class with you!
4. Avoid Overpacking
We get it - packing light isn’t always easy. But overstuffing your handbag can stretch or damage its shape. Use separate toiletry cases to prevent spills, and keep your bag’s interior safe with our Cleansing Wipes - perfect for cleaning up any unexpected messes mid-travel.
5. Climate Consideration
Your destination’s climate plays a big role in how you care for your luxe. Heading somewhere humid or rainy? Protect your bags with our Water & Stain Guard before you go and keep it handy for touch-ups.
Planning a sunny getaway? Don’t forget to include our Nourishing Conditioner in your care kit. It’s like sunscreen for your handbags! With its built-in UV filter, it protects leather from the sun’s damaging rays, preventing premature aging and keeping your luxe collection looking flawless.
6. Be Discreet
While we love showing off our luxe collections, it’s important to be mindful of your surroundings. In certain areas, it’s safer to keep high-end accessories discreet to avoid unwanted attention.
7. Pack a Luxe Survival Kit
Never leave home without a handbag care kit! Here’s what we recommend packing:
- Cleansing Wipes for accidental spills or stains.
- Water & Stain Guard for unpredictable weather.
- Nourishing Conditioner to hydrate and protect leather from UV damage.
- Application Mitts for precise and mess-free care wherever you are.
⛔️ Luxe Travel Warning ⛔️
Here’s a true story: On one of my last flights, my makeup leaked ALL over my Hermès purse. 😱 Thank goodness I had a Cleansing Wipe to hand—it saved my bag from a potential disaster! Always keep one in your carry-on for emergencies.
Final Thoughts
Travelling with your luxe doesn’t have to be stressful. With a little preparation and the right care products, your handbags and accessories can stay as stunning as the day you got them - even on the go.
So, pack smart, travel safe, and don’t forget to treat your luxe to the care it deserves! 💼✨
