SUMMER LOVIN'

LUGGAGE TAGS

 Because no adventure begins with lost luggage and endless queing at the baggage carousel. These tags make spotting your luggage super easy and add a dash of fun to your bags.

NECK PILLOW

 Who said neck pillows had to be purely functional? Relax in style with this cute and comfy neck pillow. Use the handy ribbon tie to carry it or to keep it in place whilst you snooze.

WEEKEND DUFFLE

This is the perfect 'grab and go' bag for a weekend getaway. Fill it with magazines, sunnies and suncream for poolside relaxing, or use it as a handy portable craft bag – we can just imagine knitting needles and colourful yarn poking out the top.

EYE MASK

Nothing says 'do not disturb' in a more playful way than this eye mask. Catch up on those all-important Zs and wake up feeling fabulously fresh with this holiday nap-time essential.

TRAVEL WALLET

This wallet is the thing of organisational dreams. Say 'no more' to frantically foraging through your bags at ticket queues to find your documents. The perfect accessory for a fuss-free start to your holiday that shows you mean business, but with fun fabric, of course.

DRAWSTING POOL BAG

When you need to make a quick dash to the pool, shove your swimming kit in this bag and claim that sought-after sun lounger for your own. Make with pretty contrasting straps to stand out. Instagram selfie, anyone?
