To make choosing easier, we’ve rounded up the latest gadgets and accessories worth investing in right now.

Bose QuietComfort Ultra Headphones

A good pair of noise-cancelling headphones can completely change a long-haul flight, and Bose remains one of the top choices. The latest QuietComfort Ultra over-ear headphones offer strong active noise cancellation that reduces cabin noise and background chatter. They also come with a transparency mode, which is useful for hearing boarding announcements or having a quick conversation without taking them off. Comfortable enough to wear for hours and finished in a sleek matte black, they’re a reliable travel essential.

Bottega Veneta’s Intrecciato Duffle Bag

For travelers who value understated luxury, this Intrecciato duffle by Bottega Veneta strikes the right note. Available in various sizes, the bag is designed in the house’s signature woven leather, combining durability with quality finishes. The structured shape gives it a smart appearance, while the roomy interior makes it practical for a long weekend. Vertical straps add both function and subtle visual detail, while rolled top handles and a detachable shoulder strap make moving through the airport easy. It’s the kind of duffle bag that reflects good taste without being flashy.

Anker Prime 27,650mAh Power Bank

Serious travel days demand serious backup power. With a 27,650mAh capacity and up to 250W output, this compact but powerful unit can recharge a smartphone between four to seven times or power a laptop once between connections. Multiple ports allow simultaneous charging, which makes it ideal when juggling phones, tablets, and headphones. With its sleek design and compact size, this portable power bank is a practical choice for those who are always on the go or travelling to remote locations where source of power can be scarce.  

Rimowa’s Distinct Cabin

A notable evolution for Rimowa, the Distinct Cabin replaces traditional aluminum and polycarbonate with leather, subtly embossed with the brand’s iconic grooves. The result is softer and more refined cabin bag, offering the heritage structure the label is known for with a softer aesthetic. For travelers seeking sophistication without overt branding, it’s an excellent upgrade to the classic cabin case, which has all the elements to remain stylish for many years to come.

Dioribbon S1I by Dior

Part of Dior’s 2026 eyewear launch, the Dioribbon S1I sunglasses blend contemporary edge with signature detailing. The square shape silhouette offers good sun coverage, making them easy to wear at the beach, while exploring a city, or straight off a flight. Made from sturdy acetate with understated detailing along the sides, they feel polished without being over the top and add a sharp finish to any travel look.
