The Wick Culture - David Shrigley x Globe Trotter Carry-On

Object David Shrigley x Globetrotter Carry-On

David Shrigley x Globetrotter Carry-On
£2,495

This carry-on is on the pricey side but has a quirky design by David Shrigley that will never go out of style. The British artist has teamed up with Globetrotter, known for its beautiful, handcrafted luggage and leather goods, on a limited-edition collection of carry-on suitcases featuring two unique designs in azure blue. We love the ‘Be An Ass’ model, with cobalt blue corners studded with brass rivets, but the bag that reads ‘I have some baggage but it is not much of a problem’ is sure to raise a smile at check-in. Get ready to flaunt and fly.

Känken Art Laptop 15”
£110

If you must take your laptop on holiday, look to Kånken’s Art laptop backpack. The Swedish brand, celebrated for its focus on simplicity and practicality, has long been a favourite of nature lovers and celebrities alike — yep, Olivia Wilde and Alexa Chung have both been spotted toting Kånken bags. But this special-edition model, designed by Swedish colourist, designer and photographer Tekla Severin, is as stylish as it is roomy. Available in three colour ways, it has a padded pocket for your laptop, padded shoulder straps and even a padded seat. The bonus? Part of the sale proceeds will go to Fjällräven’s Arctic Fox initiative in support of environmental and climate-related projects.

The Wick Culture - PWVC x Tenue Varsity Jacket in Green

Object The Tenue. Varsity Jacket.

The Tenue. Varsity Jacket.
£300

Thanks to its flattering silhouette, the bomber jacket has long been a wardrobe essential for all genders — and Private White V.C’s Varsity jacket hits all the right notes. At the heart of the brand’s capsule collection with denim brand Tenue, the Varsity is inspired by classic 90s American sportswear. It is made from 100% melton wool and has cream calf leather sleeves and ribbed collar, cuffs and waistband with contrasting stripe. We love the green, but it also comes in navy. The slim fit is quite snug though, so we recommend sizing up.
