If you find yourself forever on the move, Dan Cooper suggests six types of luggage that no travelling man should be without
Holdall
Ideal for the jet-set gentleman, this stylish holdall swathed in leather is durable and simple to care for, compared to fabric and suede editions. Guaranteed to make travel easier. £640
Top pick: Harrold Chellington Leather Holdall in Navy and Tan from Tusting
Gladstone
Also known as a professor’s bag, Gladstones are perfect for overnight stays and short trips. Especially popular in the early 20th century, this slightly antiquated style of luggage has a quaint immutability attached to it. £435
Top pick: The Gassano from Maxwell Scott
Briefcase
It’s a common misconception that a briefcase is simply for business. In an age where we have more and more possessions to ferry around, it’s only sensible that we store them neatly between destinations. If you find yourself on the move with a laptop, a tablet, chargers and all those magazines and books you swore you’d read, a modern briefcase is a must. £1,395
Top pick: Montagu Briefcase from Smythson
Backpack
For those less organised endeavours – a late-night gym session, a spontaneous night out with friends, a swift weekend getaway – a busy man is lost without a reliable backpack to hand. £530
Top pick: Two-tone Leather Backpack from Alexander McQueen
Cabin Case
Cabin cases were invented for one sole reason and that is dodging the check-in desk. Not quite a suitcase and not quite a holdall, but the supreme option for those casual trips abroad and leisurely strolls in between transfers. £1,250
Top pick: Candy Case in Tan Pebble from Aspinal of London
Flat-sided suitcase
Purely for the aesthetic, a flat-sided suitcase is a timeless accessory for that next hotel visit on the horizon. Not readily available from many suppliers nowadays, a proper traditional suitcase is a gentleman’s must. Just imagine it now: checking-in to your room and, there, already waiting for you, your beautifully, handcrafted masterpiece of a case. £1,295
Top pick: Gunclub Case from The Merchant Fox and Globe-Trotter
