Here at ELLE DECOR travel is a key part of our design diet. A good trip offers fresh perspectives, uncovers new shops and talents, and can allow a well-researched traveler to dip his or her toe into a range of decorative styles. Whether you’re living out your Louis XIV fantasies at the best hotels in Paris or hauling the kids to the sleekest sandy beaches in Greece, design destinations beckon the world around—and often require some savvy packing.

One of the easiest ways to shore up on essentials before any trip is to comb through Amazon for the best travel items. Assuming you’re short on time, we’ve done that work for you, scouting out the best travel bottles, bags, and pouches; the most appealing protective sun gear; and the best noise-canceling headphones, so that you can focus on remembering your passport. Bon voyage!
