"With its humble nods to craftspeople and romantic, provincial towns, the piece speaks to the nomad life in me."

 

 

It’s only recently I’ve begun to think about what’s in my go bag; because in the world I previously lived in, a passport and a credit card was pretty much all one needed. Passport, now, not so much. I choose the Dior Caro because it reads as denim with its 18,000 stitches and is the ultimate day to night bag. A part of Maria Grazia Chiuri’s 2021 Cruise collection, with its humble nods to craftspeople and romantic, provincial towns, the piece speaks to the nomad life in me. Gold hardware forever. What goes inside? A swimsuit – because even on escape one must be able to dive right in.

"I can see myself shoving my book, notepad and pen inside ...  hurrying out the door with a picnic blanket and bottle of pet nat in hand. My ideal escape."

 

 

When thinking about my ideal ‘go bag’ my mind instantly went to classic and practical, yet a little bit adventurous; and this is exactly what the Fendi Peekaboo ISeeU EastWest is. With roomy compartments that fold out like an accordion, I can see myself shoving my book, notepad and pen inside, flinging the detachable strap over my shoulder and hurrying out the door with a picnic blanket and bottle of pet nat in hand. My ideal escape.

"Always reminding me to use special things every single day and never take what we love for granted."

 

 

Escaping reality right now would be me and my family on our favourite island of Ibiza. What could be better for the golden isle than this classic Chanel bag in a matching hue. It would be with me every step; perfect size for the plane (oh remember the joys of flying), the beach, and the club. Always reminding me to use special things every single day and never take what we love for granted.

"When on the go, I prefer to be entirely hands-free."

 

 

When on the go, I prefer to be entirely hands-free; a challenge made easier when equipped with a handbag that does the hard work for me. Saint Laurent’s 80’s Vanity Bag meets all my needs and then some, with an idyllic offering of versatility and nostalgia. The zip-around opening and adjustable leather and chain strap make for easy access and carrying, while the signature YSL monogram tag brings a personalised touch.
