LEADING AUSTRALIAN DESIGNER, CORBAN & BLAIR, PICK MUST-HAVES FOR EVERY KIND OF TRAVELLER

Whether you're hiking up the steep hills of the Himalayas, people watching in the busy alleyways of Paris or dancing in a crowd of thousands on a cruise around the Pacific, you will need different travel accessories to match your holiday, says Australian design brand Corban & Blair.

Founded by cousins Gillian Corban and Amanda Blair, Corban & Blair crafts beautiful lifestyle and travel accessories, incorporating inspiration from all around the world into each and every one of their products.

Celebrating 25 years in the business, the design duo helps pack your bags with travel must-haves selected for the wonderful patchwork of different travellers among us.

"As more and more people venture off to discover the world, there's no one-way to pack your suitcase. You'll need different items to suit your personality and your destinations," says Gillian Corban.

The Budget Traveller
Jumping from one place to another with only a backpack, the budget traveller will buy necessary items on a shoestring and invest in a couple to help keep them comfy. They will need to survive hostels and sleeping in train stations so it is crucial that they pack lightly.
