Best Luxury Travel Accessories of 2023

Travel + Leisure / Marcus Millan

It’s not hard to get the full luxury experience when you’re flying first class, getting picked up by a chauffeured black car, and being whisked to your five-star hotel suite on the club level. But what about summoning that same sense of pampering when your plane cabin or accommodations are less exclusive? To surround yourself with luxury wherever you may be — including right at home — build a personal collection of luxury accessories and take them with you.

From silk pajamas to luxury leather goods, our finds will help you seriously upgrade your standard ho-hum packing fare. And because luxurious doesn’t always mean expensive, our picks also include a few go-tos with down-to-earth price points that stand to transform your experience with next-level coddling or convenience. So that even when your ticket says row 39, your peace and comfort can transport you straight to 1A. (Aaahhh... now that’s better, isn’t it?) Among our favorites are a self-cleaning water bottle, a weighted eye mask, and a cashmere pillow set. But if you’re looking for something a little different, our list includes picks to elevate every travel situation.

Lunya Washable Silk Long Sleeve Pant Set

Lunya Washable Silk Long Sleeve Pant Set

Lunya

Why We Love It: These indulgent pajamas combine the luxury of silk with the ease of machine washability.

What to Consider: These PJs are prone to wrinkling when packed, and they run a bit large.

This silk pajama set is as luxurious as it gets — but it’s also machine washable (because convenience and ease are luxuries, too). The washable fabric stays cool throughout the night, and the durable shell buttons stay in place no matter how you toss and turn. The pants have a tapered leg and high-rise cut for a stylish, tailored look — whether you’re sleeping in a five-star hotel, right at home, or somewhere in between.

Aberdeen Oak Travel Bartender Kit

Aberdeen Oak Travel Bartender Kit

Amazon

Why We Love It: Elevate cocktail hour from anywhere with a set of pro mixology tools.

What to Consider: Remember that bringing bar tools on the road means washing them… and traveling home with them, too.

Cocktailing on the road doesn’t have to mean pouring a mini bottle into a can of whatever’s on hand. With this comprehensive travel mixology kit, you can bring all the tools you need to make serious drinks on the road. This 18-piece kit includes a shaker, strainer, muddler, and more — all in a chic canvas carry bag with a handle.

Sharper Image Car Cushion With Massage and Heat

Sharper Image Car Cushion With Massage and Heat

Sharper Image

Why We Love It: This massaging seat cushion with the option of heat upgrades a ho-hum road trip experience in a major way.

What to Consider: The massage feature comes solely from vibration, so don’t expect the intensity of rollers.

For a truly luxurious road trip, hire a chauffeured limousine. But if that type of transportation isn’t in the cards, elevate the self-drive experience in any car with this massaging seat cushion. It has multiple massage modes — pulsating, tapping, rolling, and kneading — to work out the kinks in a range of specific targeted areas (of upper back, lower back, hips, and thighs). Customize the intensity and add the option of heat with the touch of a button. It has an auto shutoff timer for safety and folds for convenient portability.  (And it fits on office chairs — so why not bring it from the road trip into the meeting room?)

Price at time of publish: $70

Why We Love It: A self-cleaning water bottle for safer travel at a time when Covid and other viruses dominate the news? Yes, please.

What to Consider: Accessories useful for travel (like a carry loop or sleeve) are sold separately.

There are refillable water bottles… and then there’s the Larq Bottle PureVis, billed as the first self-cleaning water bottle and water purification system. The built-in tech eliminates up to 99 percent of bio-contaminants such as E. coli from both the water and the bottle. And a little reassurance is a luxury in a world awash in germ-related headlines. The insulation keeps drinks cold for a full 24 hours or hot for 12. It comes in two sizes and six chic, neutral colors.

Saatva Weighted Silk Eye Mask

Saatva Weighted Silk Eye Mask

Saatva

Why We Love It: Fine silk construction and weighted beads take this eye mask to the next level for both a calming effect and better sleep.

What to Consider: You’ll need to wash this mask by hand using mild detergent (and lay it flat to dry).

If you’re lucky, you’ll get an airline-issued scratchy acrylic eye mask on a long-haul flight. But you can do far better than that: Come prepared with this weighted eye mask made of fine mulberry silk. Not only does it block out light with a luxuriously soft feel, but the weighted feature adds therapeutic pressure for both sleep and relaxation. Silk also covers the secure elastic headband.

Leatherology Tie Case

Leatherology Tie Case

Amazon

Why We Love It: This tie case is highly functional for business travelers, and makes a great gift with an air of luxury; deboss it with a name or monogram for an extra personal touch.

What to Consider: Heads up for light packers: While this case is slim and streamlined, it’s naturally bulkier than traveling with ties alone.

You could shove your ties into your carry-on and hope for the best. Or you could elevate your game with this full-grain leather tie case. Not only does it hold as many as four ties — for a perfectly pressed look on arrival — but it also has a gusseted pocket sewn into the interior for collar stays, tie clips, or cufflinks. Utilitarian but not too bulky, this sleek tie case has a slim profile that slides easily into luggage. It’s available in three sophisticated colors, including black, brown, and cognac.

Arteana Roma Flat Sandals

arteana-roma-flat-sandals

Arteana

Why We Love It: Not only are these shoes chic and versatile for travel, the Amor motif gives them an internationally influenced vibe sure to charm wanderlusters.

What to Consider: The product description itself acknowledges that these run narrow, so choose one size up for a comfortable fit.

When you want the shoes-on-shoes-off ease of a flip-flop — but with a way more grown-up sensibility — these elegant slides are it. They’re super versatile for travel, going with ease from the airplane to the pool to dinner. Handcrafted in Italy with organic cotton, these shoes get “notice-me” style — with a travel-inspired flair — from the Amor detailing woven into the lace upper.

Sensate Relaxation Device

Sensate Relaxation Device

Amazon

Why We Love It: This gadget offers the therapeutic benefits of a meditation app, taken to the next level with a corresponding wearable device.

What to Consider: There is a limited number of soundtrack options in the available database.

Travel can be stressful in so many ways — no matter what cabin you fly in. This palm-sized wearable device and the corresponding audio app uses infrasonic waves to resonate through the body, targeting the vagus nerve and strengthening the nervous system; the waves are meant to encourage relaxation and improve resilience to stress over time. The soundscapes are designed to cater to your personal goals, whatever those might be, whether it’s winding down for sleep or boosting energy in the morning.

Deseri Paris Wristlet Wallet

Deseri Paris Wristlet Wallet

Deseri

Why We Love It: With two wristlet options, this small accessory serves as a wallet and a going-out bag complete with phone storage.

What to Consider: If you’re used to carrying only a small wallet when you hit the road, this could feel bulky in comparison.

This day-to-evening wristlet wallet from black female-owned brand Deseri is a luxurious leather accessory that punches way above its weight when it comes to travel functionality. Inside, it’s a wallet you can toss in your tote and head out on the town. Outside, it has the appeal of an evening bag, and it comes with two choices of wristlets — a gold chain and a leather strap — so you can pair it with tons of different day-to-evening looks while keeping packing streamlined. It’s even big enough to fit your phone.

Hook & Albert Men’s Black Leather Garment Weekender Pro

hook--albert-mens-black-leather-garment-weekender-pro

Hook & Albert

Why We Love It: This is like the Transformers, but for travel accessories; it’s a luxury carry-on that does it all.

What to Consider: This bag is designed for an overnight or weekend trip — not a longer journey.

It might look like a typical duffel at first glance — but it’s so much more. It’s a tricked-out garment bag equipped with shoe pockets, loads of organization, as well as the ability to pack up to two gowns or suits and arrive wrinkle-free. An exterior pocket features a laptop sleeve and cord-organizing straps. A padded shoulder strap and trolley sleeve make for convenient carrying options. Bonus: It even folds flat for storage.

Price at time of publish: $675

Sofia Cashmere Emilia Travel Set

Sofia Cashmere Travel Set

Saks Fifth Avenue

Why We Love It: Lightweight and sumptuous, this set redefines the meaning of “travel essentials.” (You’ll never go back.)

What to Consider: Each of the pieces in this set must be dry-cleaned only.

Imagine settling into a long-haul flight with your very own cashmere sleep mask, blanket, and pillow set — not the penny-ante airplane-issued goods (or, say, your balled-up sweatshirt in a pinch). That’s almost enough to make even economy class feel like first class (almost). All three pieces in each set fully coordinate; choose from red, gray, or beige.

Price at time of publish: $395

Kypris 1000 Roses Beauty Elixir

Kypris 1000 Roses Beauty Elixir

Neiman Marcus

Why We Love It: The rosy fragrance, the sumptuous feel — this is one carry-on-friendly beauty product that stands far out ahead in a cluttered skincare field.

What to Consider: Those with ultra-sensitive skin might want to avoid it.

Travel can be seriously dehydrating for the skin — especially when it comes to long-haul flights or cold climates. This deliciously fragrant beauty oil makes quick work of flakiness and dullness in the most luxurious way. Key ingredients include Bulgarian roses and bioidentical CoQ10 and Vitamin C ester. Use just a few drops day and night.

M.M. LaFleur The Merritt Jardigan

mm-lafleur-merritt-jardigan

M.M. LaFleur

Why We Love It: This best-selling, polished piece blends the comfort of a cardigan with the polished look of a blazer.

What to Consider: Substantial knit fabric gives this piece a distinct heft — good for warmth, not as good when it comes to packing light.

A hoodie might get you by, but this dressed-up option is so much more sophisticated. It’s a so-called “jardigan” — a hybrid cardigan and jacket boasting the sharp look of a blazer (with clean lines and traditional lapels), and the comfort of a favorite cardigan sweater (thanks to the unstructured knit material with stretch). Tie the sash at the waist for a more structured look (and added warmth), or leave it open for a more dressed-down look and feel.

Leovard Luxury Shaving Set

Leovard Luxury Shaving Set

Amazon

Why We Love It: This unisex kit elevates an everyday grooming activity to a spa-like pampering experience.

What to Consider: Traveling with a whole shaving kit may be more than you need if you’re going carry-on only or otherwise need to pack light.

Sure, you can pick up a disposable razor from the airport or housekeeping staff. But a chic, travel-ready shaving kit elevates the experience to spa-level self-care. This gender-neutral and high-quality boxed grooming kit comes with a shaving handle, shaving brush, stainless steel shaving bowl, balancing multi-function stand, and cleaning cloth; the shaving handle, brush, and stand are crafted with stainless steel, zinc oxide, and acrylic fibers for a sleek look.

Price at time of publish: $122

Meze 99 Classics Over-ear Headphones

Meze 99 Classics Over-ear Headphones

Amazon

Why We Love It: Elegant in both look and sound quality, these headphones are a luxurious pick for true audiophiles.

What to Consider: The ear cups may not suit all larger ear sizes.

Sure, AirPods are compact and great for travel. But if you’re an audiophile with a purist streak, these luxe headphones are for you. The sturdy, wired headphones deliver a more natural, high-end sound with (sustainably sourced) wood ear cups, soft earpads, and spring steel headbands. Choose walnut silver or walnut gold colorways to suit your personal style.

Price at time of publish: $309

Themoirè Bios Woven Vegan Leather Clutch

themoir-bios-woven-vegan-leather-clutch

Intermix

Why We Love It: This vegan leather bag stays cruelty-free with a high-end woven look, and supreme versatility in nude with an optional cross-body strap.

What to Consider: It’s a bit bulky considering how little it carries.

When you want a versatile clutch with a super high-end look, but want it to be vegan, this chic and supple bag ticks every box. Made of polyurethane and polyester, this vegan leather piece can be carried as a clutch or worn across the body with an optional strap. A hinged magnetic top closure keeps belongings inside secure. With a woven look and a pinky hue, this is one travel-ready accessory that packs a punch.

Kurt Geiger London Kensington Vanity Case

Kurt Geiger London Kensington Vanity Case

Kurt Geiger

Why We Love It: With supple quilted leather and antiqued brass accents, this vanity case evokes the golden age of Hollywood.

What to Consider: This vanity case requires care typical for luxury leather — it’s more of a statement piece than a means of grab-and-go convenience.

Sure, you could find plenty of other more space-efficient, cost-effective ways to travel with your vanity items — but none chicer than this lambskin leather vanity case. With plush overstitch quilting all around, the bag also features a decorative antiqued brass eagle head with brass crystals and black bead eyes. A matching antiqued brass chain strap and zipper closure finish the look.

Price at time of publish: $315

Barton Perreira Vanity Sunglasses

Barton Perreira Vanity Sunglasses

Barton Perreira

Why We Love It: These bold sunglasses are guaranteed to get noticed with oversized ‘70s-inspired styling.

What to Consider: These frames will overpower small faces.

A pair of go-to sunnies is a must for any traveler. And this luxurious pair is a perfect fusion of form and function: They have statement-making ‘70s-inspired frames meant to get noticed, plus deep tints and oversized lenses for serious coverage. They’re available in six colorways so you can pick the perfect match for your style.

STM ChargeTree Go 3-in1 Wireless Charging Station

STM ChargeTree Go 3-in1 Wireless Charging Station

Amazon

Why We Love It: This charging station charges three devices simultaneously and folds for compact storage or use as a charging platform.

What to Consider: This gadget is only set up to work with Apple devices.

Nothing clutters up a travel experience — or a desk, or a nightstand — faster than a tangle of unruly cables. Keep everything tidy and just-so with this all-in-one portable charging station. Capable of charging an iPhone, Apple Watch, and AirPods simultaneously, this device also folds flat to work as a charging platform while saving space, too (and tucks away easily when not in use).

Cadence Toiletry Organizers, Set of 12

cadence-toiletry-organizers-set-of-12

Cadence

Why We Love It: There is no cooler or more streamlined way to pack toiletries — and you can fully customize your own set.

What to Consider: You may not get all of your most-used toiletries into each small capsule — especially for a longer trip — so consider your usage first.

Put simply, it’s just a better mousetrap. These leakproof, magnetic capsules store travel-sized versions of your toiletries, medicine, and the like (even jewelry), all in a tidy, uniform, and streamlined fashion. Customize the tiles on top so you have an easy visual on everything you need — no painter's tape or Sharpie required.
