Style Notes
Your Summer Holiday Packing List, Sorted
30 May 2024
Sipping Aperol spritzes on the beach, eating your dinners alfresco and dancing the night away at your favourite festival. Summer doesn’t come with many downsides. Except maybe the packing.
Whether you're heading off for a weekend away or taking an extended break, we can help. Consider this your summer packing checklist - a guide to the accessories you’ll need for every kind of trip. We can’t wait to see the pictures (tag us using #MyRadley on Instagram).
So maybe you can’t have a suitcase dedicated to carrying just your summer holiday bags, but we’d say taking two or three is an acceptable number. Narrowing them down might be a near impossible task, but we’ve come up with the perfect combination.
Off to the airport? Start with a spacious carry-on tote that doubles up as a designer beach bag. Florence Road has room for your latest romance novel, airplane snacks and your beach towel once you land.
Add in the ultimate exploring companion for days in the city. Our Dukes Place Canvas cross body and the Pennington Street sling (coming soon) are made for sightseeing. The perfect holiday bags, they leave hands free for carrying essentials (water, ice-creams, screaming toddlers etc.).
If you have room for one more, make it something special. Hanley Close Colourblock (coming soon) or our pop-of-colour Arden Crescent bag fit that description. They’ll be the guests of honour at your romantic sunset dinner dates.
Enter holiday mode before you’ve even stepped out of the house with the perfect sandals. Castaway Cove provides cushioned comfort on long strolls, while our heeled Sunbeam Close espadrilles – made with our signature expertise in leather – add that dressed up touch to all your summer holiday outfits.
Here’s your reminder to not forget the little things. Like the leather purse that will keep your currency safe or the sunglasses that are both stylish and protective. We’ve got you covered for all those essential accessories, but it’s up to you to remember your toothbrush.
If you’re anything like us, you’ll be planning at least two summer holiday outfits a day, and a few extra (some call it overpacking, we call it being prepared). And you’ll want room for a few souvenirs too. It's why we love our Lexington luggage. With spacious interiors and handy pockets, it fit all those, ahem, essentials.
