L uggage tags, tiny shampoo, your passport: these are things you know you need to enjoy a seamless travel experience. Until this very moment, however, you may not have realized that you also need a Louis Vuitton shoe trunk. Luckily our Marketplace has (more than) one—along with an eclectic selection of items and accessories that will make traveling for a work or pleasure even more of a joy.
This week's Shortlist is a selection of five items you should snap up now before you book that next flight.
Goyard Vintage Duffle
This vintage Goyard travel bag is made from whisky-toned calfskin and quietly stamped with the brand's signature. This visual simplicity is a departure from what we're used to from Goyard's distinctive coated-canvas Goyardine, and would make for a low-key carry-on for any traveler.
Hermès Phone Case
This Hermèsway phone case was first introduced in 2021 and only increased in popularity since its debut. This black leather iteration features gold hardware and the design hallmarks that have made this piece such a hit: an adjustable shoulder strap, card pocket, pouch for headphones, and a lipstick holder. If there is a more compact yet luxurious way to keep hold of all your important items, we've yet to find one.
Louis Vuitton Shoe Trunk
Louis Vuitton has a habit of turning their ultra-recognizable logo into pieces of elite luggage for those who insist on traveling in style. This vintage shoe trunk holds twelve pairs of shoes in individual pillowed inserts and comes with dust bags, keys and a luggage tag. Packing shoes in their own case is old-school elegance incarnate.
Patek Philippe Aquanaut
The Patek Philippe Aquanaut was designed with nautical influences, much like the Nautilus. The most notable complication on this timepiece is the dual time function that allows the wearer to toggle between two time zones. It's handy if you want to be able to quickly determine whether you still have time to call before bedtime, or if that restaurant in Paris is open for reservations yet.
Hermès Briefcase
This exceptional briefcase isn't strictly a travel item, but it will serve you well as a companion on business trips. Featuring four central compartments and palladium hardware, this crocodile bag is as functional as it is beautiful.
