The essential travel kit for your next business trip

We pick our favourite suitcases, accessories and travel must-haves to ensure you fly high in high style

Here at Gentleman’s Journal, when we aren’t giving you our expert tips on the best weekend destinations, we’re probably giving you some sound advice on the travel essentials you should be packing for your trip. But, when it comes to business trips, the requirements are a little different. If you’re meeting clients and attending events with prospective investors then first impressions count so a wrinkled suit or worn out suitcase simply won’t do.

With this in mind, we’ve gathered together some seriously chic cabin-friendly luggage, along with some of our most cherished travel accessories, to make flying a breeze and ensure you’re prepared for whatever your trip can throw at you in true style.

For putting the ‘smart’ in smart luggage…

Bennett Winch Weekender

OK, we know we spend a lot of time talking about Bennett Winch and its Weekender Bag, but you really need look no further for a timeless travelling companion. Its features include a thoughtfully-conceived interior, comprising a series of functional pockets and compartments.

A padded laptop sleeve ensures your computer is carried securely, while two separate waterproof compartments provide ample room for shoes, gym gear or anything else that needs keeping separate from your belongings.

Floris Fragrance Travel Collection For Him

To explore the world, you need a world of fragrances to take along with you. That means, even if you have a signature scent, it pays to invest in an entire fragrance collection that will broaden your horizons as much as your travels will.

We’d suggest this eau de toilette Travel Collection from Floris. With four different scents — the aromatic Santal, the floral No.89, the woody Elite and citrus JF — it comes presented in a handy blue and gold box, and will keep you feeling fresh wherever you land.
