To travel around the world, you need travel gear. Better still, travel gear that looks stylish yet functional. This Christmas, we bring you a heady mix of travel gear and accessories that will add some style and panache to your travels. Here we go!
Trolley Scooter
Two-wheeled trolley bags aren’t anything new, but three-wheeled ones certainly are. And two-wheeled trolley bags are notoriously unstable when you lug them around bends. All this is set to change with the Trolley Scooter, which is a three-wheeled trolley bag. Made by Samsonite and Micro Mobility, the Trolley Scooter is a piece of baggage that won’t be a pain to lug around even as it manages to look chic and smart. The Trolley Scooter sells for $120.
Hg2 Hedonist Travel Guides
Traveling across the world is fun only when you know at least a little about the place you are headed to. Although the internet is a great source of information, books rule the roost when it comes to accessing information on the go, especially when you can’t stop by to access the internet. To make life easy for you, Tumi has teamed up with Hedonist to compile a set of travel guides called the Hg2. These guides are fully illustrated with rich photography and cover eight major cities ranging from Paris to Buenos Aires. You can get yourself one of these for $125.
Laprador Leather Lap Desk
You could carry your work anywhere and now, you can carry your desk along too. Laprador has created a leather lap desk that is a perfect mix of form with function. You can write or use your laptop on the the Leather Lap Desk and also store knick-knacks in its innards. Yes, the lap desk has swiveling compartments that act as storage for all your stationary needs. You even have a reading light that comes attached to the desk to make reading and writing easy on your eyes. The Laprador Leather Lap Desk is great news for high flying executives, terrible news for their wives, though.
Dom Perignon Black Box
Celebrating without uncorking the bubbly sounds like sacrilege, doesn’t it? If so, you’d want the Dom Perignon Black Box that will keep your favorite Dom Perignon at the optimum temperature wherever you take it to. Marc Newson has created this gorgeous looking enclosure, for you to carry your bubbly across the world in style. Yours for $295.
McLarenSport Samsonite Travel Bags

The stylish travel bags are priced at $326 and are available in all major Samsonite stores.
Wig Purifier
Wigs are big business across the world with more people going in for them as they lose their crowns due to high stresses of modern living. Now, maintaining wigs can be a chore in itself. To greatly simplify the process, Ozone Clean has come up with a Wig Purifier that sanitizes and de-odorizes wigs while keeping their style intact. All this comes enclosed in a classy looking package with a burl finish. Phew, so much fuss for a wig purifier. Anyway, if you want to get yourself one, you will have to shell out $367.

Nowadays, we’re seeing almost all luxury goods getting a overdose of glitter courtesy the now ubiquitous Swarovski crystals. Here is a pair of Binoculars getting raazmatazzed with the Swarovski crystal treatment. We must admit that the effect is pretty electric. Though there is no real practical benefit, the Swarovski Binoculars will surely grab eyeballs with their sheer style. Yes, all that style will certainly have a sizable price tag and that, ladies and gentlemen is $1,000.
