Shorts order

For perfectly cut shorts in good solid colours, try the new Beach + Swim Shorts collection by Orlebar Brown; there are five different shapes in five colours to pick from. We love the dog-breed theme: Bulldog is a classic mid-length; Setter is a classic ‘short’ short; Dane is a drawstring style in a choice of two lengths; and the Standard is a mid-length drawstring.
Orlebar Brown shorts cost from £110. For more details, or to place an order, go to www.orlebarbrown.com.

Alexander the great

Fashion fans are falling over themselves to lay their hands on Samsonite’s brand new Black Label luggage range, designed by bad-boy Brit designer Alexander McQueen, no less. With their distinctive lines and fashionably impractical colour, the cases are easy to spot on the carousel – and they’ll make you the envy of everyone at baggage reclaim.

Ladies with a taste for decadence should look no further than witty accessories designer Lulu Guinness’ Vanity range, which comes in the finest Italian leathers with suede linings. Quirky and timeless, these special hatbox-style vanity cases, from £195, come in gold python and red leather, with zip-pulls based on Lulu’s signature red lipstick; we also love the metallic gold snakeskin travel wallets, £195 each.
