Quiet luxury, a minimalist style that focuses on the quality of pieces over flashy brand names, is the hottest trend for 2025. The ethos behind the trend is something all travelers, from budget to first-class, can embrace—think classic investment pieces that will last for years and never go out of style.
With a timeless, understated style, these quiet luxury travel items will look classy no matter what country you’re in.
When a simple water bottle becomes a conversation piece, you know you’ve entered the realm of quiet luxury. The Okapa Water Bottle isn’t just hydration—it’s high design.
Crafted with materials trusted in the medical field, it fuses German-made borosilicate 3.3 premium-grade glass with a Swiss-engineered Grilamid TR-90 spout that doesn't retain odors, ensuring every sip tastes fresh, even on long travel days. The modular design allows the bottle to be easily disassembled for better cleaning, and it's dishwasher safe (except for the protective aluminum shell.)
The glass bottle is microwave safe and can handle extremely hot or cold liquids. But beyond the tech specs, it’s the sculptural silhouette and refined finish that make this bottle a staple on first-class flights. Hydration has never looked—or felt—so elevated.
Spotted on the shows that sparked the quiet luxury trend, Succession and The White Lotus, Carl Friedrik’s Palissy Weekend Bag is the most elegant way to pack for a short trip. The surprisingly spacious main compartment can fit enough outfits for a weekend getaway, and three open fabric pockets help keep everything organized.
A unique curved design and upright construction helps the bag keep its shape through numerous trips (and makes it easy to pack).
Made from Vachetta leather, the Palissy is painstakingly assembled by hand in Italy, where no detail is too small to be overlooked. Every tooth in the zip, for example, is individually polished before added to the bag.
We’ve finally found the perfect travel outfit. Unbound Merino’s Travel Dress is made from an ultra-soft and stretchy Merino wool/nylon/spandex blend that’s comfortable, anti-wrinkle, odor-resistant, temperature regulating, and fast-drying.
Available in classic quiet luxury colors like camel and black, this dress features a high scoop neckline and midi-length that’s appropriate for practically any occasion.
