“I need sleep when I travel so I can be fresh upon arrival. I love anything that’s soft on my skin, like this alpaca throw by Johanna Howard, which is my favorite to bring on board (along with my Ostrich neck pillow!).”

Nick Gagne
“Terre d’Hermès has been my go-to fragrance since I was a teenager, and I always take a travel-size bottle with me when I go somewhere. I think when you’re away from home, it’s important to keep some consistency and familiarity.”

“Paravel’s packing cubes are a must. They’re stylish, functional, and sustainable. The first thing I do when I arrive at my hotel is unpack and put these straight into the dresser drawers. I also use them to organize room schemes when traveling out of town for a design meeting.”

Maggie Getz
“This dopp kit by Clare V. is hands down the best travel case I’ve ever owned, from the way it unfolds to sit open to the bright colors that make it easy to find in my bag.”

“This Bleu de Chauffe dopp kit is durable, timeless, and an incredible price! The black waxed cotton canvas is water-resistant and will patina nicely over time, while the blue and bronze zipper makes it stand out among a sea of black toiletry kits. Best of all, it’s unbranded, which is hard to find.”
Zazou Toiletry Case, $115, bleu-de-chauffe.com
Kate Ives Marshall
“These bags are great for organizing smaller items within your suitcase, like socks, bathing suits, or belts. The classic print reminds me of the linens in my childhood bedroom. When I’m traveling, the small pop of familiar pattern brings me back home!”
