SPEND A WEEKEND BY THE SEA, THESE MUST-HAVE TRAVEL

ACCESSORIES CREATE THE PERFECT DREAM BOARD.

RETURN TO MINIMALISM

Lower your carbon footprint and skip the airplane ride. Leaving only the bare essentials exposed for the eye to see, the custom Moto Guzzi V1100 commands respect with its Ducati throne and carbon fiber gas tank. Not to mention it may help you pick up a date along the way. www.motoguzzi.com

TRAVEL LIGHT

Touted as the thinnest, lightest, fastest iPhone ever, Apple does it again with the iPhone 5. An entirely new design with never before seen technology, avoid getting lost with the new Maps app and shoot 8-megapixel photos and 1080p HD video with the iSight camera. www.apple.com

CONTEMPORARY WEEKENDER

Leave it to Madrid fashion house, Loewe, for creating this season’s must have travel bag. Available in flawless neutrals like chocolate and black, the Bilbao Weekender is a perfect size for impromptu getaways. www.loewe.com

Lightweight and easy to pack, a gorgeous pen from Smythson not only lasts forever, but will ensure that you are in turn treated in style. With 125 years of craftsmanship under its belt, the Bond Street legend promises not to let you or your hosts down. www.smythson.com
