Skip the baggage-claim queues in true Italian beach club style this summer.
Remember when you waited patiently for your suitcase to appear on the airport conveyor belt only for it to arrive last and looking a little worse for wear? If that sounds all too familiar, maybe now's the time to downsize to something soft, stylish and decidedly snappy – in which case, we have found the perfect carry-on for you.
Forming part of the iconic Gucci Lido collection, this smart travel bag, £1,940, takes its cue from the spirit of an Italian summer and the lively beach clubs or 'lidos' that can be found dotted along its beautiful coastline.

There are plenty of punchy design details to be found here. Fluorescent blue leather lines and handles bring a pop of colour to the brand's signature all-over GG Supreme pattern. Other highlights include a detachable key holder and ID tag, adjustable shoulder strap and two handy internal zip pockets to keep your valuables in. Make your mark on your new favourite travel companion by adding a monogram or other moniker at the Craft My Initials service, housed in the Gucci flagship on New Bond Street.
No matter where the summer takes you, you can't help but glide through arrivals in style with this dapper duffel bag. Bon voyage!
