Travel Style: Winter in Hong Kong
December 21, 2011
A collection of practical and purely precious items to help you experience Chinese New Year to its fullest
Hong Kong is one of the most chic cities in the world, and this trio of bags is perfectly suited to a weekend adventure there: Tumi’s Alpha Deluxe Carry-On Satchel ($445, <a href="http://www.tumi.com/" target="_blank">tumi.com</a>) has a framed opening like a doctor’s bag, providing easy access to all your gear; classic and elegant in buffalo leather, Mulberry’s Postman’s Lock Travel Bag is roomy enough for overnight trips ($2,000, (<a href="http://www.mulberry.com/" target="_blank">mulberry.com</a>); and Jack Spade’s Wayne leather duffle bag in rich olive ($395, <a href="http://www.jackspade.com/" target="_blank">jackspade.com</a>) has a zip top that opens to reveal a multitude of organizer pockets, from Nordstrom (<a href="http://www.shop.nordstrom.com/" target="_blank">shop.nordstrom.com</a>). One for her, one for him: Two jackets that are easy to pack and perfect for a cool day or a breezy night. Diane von Furstenberg’s Vincent oversized tweed jacket ($585, <a href="http://www.dvf.com/" target="_blank">dvf.com</a>) and Moncler’s Elie Jacket ($850, <a href="http://www.barneys.com/" target="_blank">barneys.com</a>), a lightweight anorak made of wrinkle-free fabric with plenty of pockets for daily travel essentials. Tag, you’re it. Even if your luggage is basic black, you’ll never lose track of it in baggage claim with Smythson’s colorful luggage tags ($90-$105, <a href="http://www.smythson.com/" target="_blank">smythson.com</a>), featuring gold blocking of “Home” on one side and “Destination” on the other. Heading out for a night on the town? Dress up your outfit with Alexis Bittar’s hand-carved, hand-painted Lucite skinny bangles. Mix and match the colors, and stack several on your wrist for a glamorous touch ($65 each, <a href="http://www.alexisbittar.com/" target="_blank">alexisbittar.com</a>), from Nordstrom (<a href="http://www.shop.nordstrom.com/" target="_blank">shop.nordstrom.com</a>). As seen in the latest issue of The Ritz-Carlton Magazine, your jewelry can also take on a chinoiserie twist. David Webb’s carved coral and jade pendant necklace is accented with diamonds (price upon request, <a href="http://www.davidwebb.com/" target="_blank">davidwebb.com</a>) and Hemmerle’s necklace combines copper, white gold, jade, brown diamonds and agate to striking effect (price upon request, <a href="http://www.hemmerle.com/" target="_blank">www.hemmerle.com</a>). Explore the city in style — and comfort — in a pair of flats. Here, we share a few of our favorites. Good luck trying to choose a favorite among them: Christian Louboutin’s Rollergirl loafers in velvet with a metal cap toe ($1,095, <a href="http://www.christianlouboutin.com/" target="_blank">christianlouboutin.com</a>), from Saks Fifth Avenue (<a href="http://www.saksfifthavenue.com/" target="_blank">saksfifthavenue.com</a>); Jimmy Choo’s Walker ballerina pumps in sand leopard-printed patent leather ($395, <a href="http://www.jimmychoo.com/" target="_blank">jimmychoo.com</a>) and Loeffler Randall’s Blaise Flat Moccasin in apple red suede with metallic studs ($325, <a href="http://www.loefflerrandall.com/" target="_blank">loefflerrandall.com</a>).
