In ten seconds and with a simple gesture (it stretches vertically), it offers 50% more storage capacity. Enough to sail worry-free from your weekend in Normandy in July to a fortnight in Thailand at the end of August. Or enough to always find some room if you’re the type to leave with your hands full. The luggage with its sober design and colors (white, black, gray or ink blue) is also available in a connected version. Thanks to the integrated battery, you can charge your mobile phone or tablet directly on your suitcase. Did you say practical?
Kabuto Gallivanter, Voyager, or Nomad Suitcase (included). €199, €249 or €499.
A miracle cream for long flights
Dehydrated skin, puffy eyes, chapped lips… The relative humidity on a plane is around 20% or less. So we are far from the comfort zone of about 50%. Thus, dry skin loses more water, and oily skin loses more, the lack of moisture stimulates the sebaceous glands. No need to play jet-setters and multiply care, instead we opt for a simple pre-flight routine. Our miracle product, the Irene Forte Cosmetics Pistachio Mask, should be applied generously to the face to hydrate the skin for 12 hours, the time it takes to get to Los Angeles or Bangkok. All the ingredients used, from olive oil and almonds to prickly pear and aloe vera, are grown at the designer’s organic farm, Irene Forte, in Sicily. First trip before reaching your destination.
Irene Forte Cosmetics, mask (€125) and pistachio lip balm (€35), sold exclusively at Bon Marché. Rechargeable products.
