Review of Globe Trotter - Luxury travel essentials

What you have by your side and what you choose to trundle is vital for the image and if you want to give the right impression. ''Travelware-upmanship'' is a game all travellers play. Travellers are brand conscious. They are as loyal to their luggage brand as the car they choose to drive and airline they choose to fly by.  It matters what wheels they choose to have under them.   “My seat in Business Class on a plane to a very important meeting is waiting”,  “I am on my way to an extended and very luxurious vacation that few people could ever afford”  and “ I buy my carry on in Mayfair” are impressions we all like to create.  It starts in the airport car park when we take longer than necessary unpacking so everyone can admire our super lightweight, bought from London’s Burlington Arcade  Globe Trotter four-wheel spinner grey/caramel  new  check-in case which screams “ Just out!”

When he was just 17 he moved to London and started with Cobella - after that his career went from strength to strength. His work has allowed him to tour the globe demonstrating incredible hair looks and working with some incredible brands. However luckily for us London ladies he is back in the UK.

Footballers arrive at grounds wearing them. Gamers are never out of them.  Kids communicate with their parents in sign language from under them.  Sonic ear muffs or headphones are de rigeur. We all need a hearing aid at some time in our lives.  For various reasons. To be able to hear some things some people say. Sometimes. And to enjoy music. Or silence. The sort of headphone you choose to wear over or around your ears depends largely on the size of your wallet and your head and how much you appreciate music and value silence. Gary Lineker, Martin Keown, Owen Hargreaves, Rio Ferdinand and Alan Shearer have one thing in common. They are noise irritants.  At times, they need to be silenced. Is there such a thing as high-quality, high-fidelity silence? Certainly, especially when you have neighbours who have just been granted planning permission to demolish their home and rebuild it.   If you work from home as I do – or pretend to – there is nothing worse or less conducive to getting things done than a cement mixer and pneumatic drill going full blast less than twenty yards from your laptop.  These days it is called noise pollution. I still know it as “a ‘kin din”.
