The edit: the best British products to pack in your suitcase

Globe-Trotter has been handcrafting suitcases in England using tried-and-true vulcanised fibreboard technology since 1897, but its designs still move with the times. This eye-catching carry-on case, neatly sized for an overhead locker and furnished with two wheels, is perfectly adapted for a modern mini-break.

Diana Vreeland, legendary editor in chief of American Vogue, famously said: “The eye has to travel.” Well, so do the taste buds – and The Macallan’s woody, spicy-sweet single malt Estate whisky is distilled from home-grown barley and will transport you straight to the distiller’s Speyside base in Scotland. 1 litre.

Invented for underwater exploration, there’s no watch more appropriate for the beach than a diver. And Christopher Ward’s C60 is sea-friendly not just in function, but in form – the slick #tide fabric strap is created from 100 per cent recycled marine plastic.

The shoemaker’s sleek, streamlined loafers have become an instant menswear classic. Now the label has given its signature, sophisticated silhouettes all the comfort of a sneaker – kitting them out with shock-absorbent rubber soles – and, in doing so, has created quite possibly the most perfect travel shoe.

Hemingsworth’s new Kulbir swimmers feature the time-honoured style details of a classic Gurkha trouser – a crossover belt, pleats and metal side buckles – but are cut in London from quick-drying polycotton. Quite possibly the most sophisticated beach-to-bar attire around. 

The key to a streamlined travel wash kit is packing it with items that do double duty, such as this face and body wash, infused with a refreshing mix of mandarin, ginger and green tea, from just-launched, one-to-watch British grooming brand, The Fellowship. 300ml.

Wood-centric fragrances tend to feel automatically wintry, which makes Atlantic, the new scent from Thomas Clipper, so special. Blending energising neroli with comforting tonka, cinnamon and cedarwood notes, it’s both zingy and warm, so perfect for summer nights. 50ml.

Based in Marylebone, Anglo-Italian brings a tailoring eye to everyday men’s staples. Cut from light 13oz Japanese denim with a smart, tapered cut that’s roomier in the thigh, these ecru jeans will not only look cool in the sunshine, but also keep your legs feeling cool.

If you hate scrabbling around the bottom of your bag for documents at the airport, Ettinger’s travel pouch is a game changer. Crafted at the leathermaker’s Birmingham factory, it’s a superbly stylish, practical and easily accessible way to keep your passport, phone and papers in check.

Coconut Residence creates pieces that honour the heritage of the label’s co-founders, spanning the Caribbean, Guyana, India, Kenya and West Africa. The brand’s cool, colourful and robust Kota market bag – inspired by a shopping tote that’s a part of daily life in India – is a prime example.
