A carefully packed suitcase is an art form. You want to make sure that every item earns a place in your bag by being both practical and flattering. 

Cashmere is a travel essential for all aspects of your journey. With cooling and warming properties, cashmere is both practical and luxurious. Be comfortable on the plane ride, chic walking the streets and perfectly snug checking out the evening hotspots. 

THE JOURNEY

Our Taylor Travel Wrap is lusciously long so it can be wrapped around your neck or laid flat to cover your whole body. This can double as an added layer if the climate where you're heading takes an unexpected drop. In our eyes, it's a must-pack. 

WALKING THE STREETS

Our lightweight Italian Cashmere Tee's are an essential and come in a range of colours to match with your existing wardrobe palette. Elle wears the black Como Tee paired with fresh white denim and ballet flats for a Parisian chic look. This can easily double as a day or night time look so it provides you with much needed versatility for your travels. 

The Olympia Cashmere One-Shoulder is that special piece you can pack to dress up a pair of Bermuda shorts or silky skirt. You'll feel comfy and cool in cashmere, plus feminine with the eye-catching cut of the one-shoulder detail. Elle wears the Khaki paired with crisp white and a statement sandal, an effortless look. 

The Sweater wrap is a firm favourite at Elle + Riley HQ. They provide colour, texture and warmth (but without the bulk). When you're traveling you can drape it over your shoulders and be hands free. Elle shows off how you can colour match using Omaha Blue and Oatmeal. 

EVENING

If you're heading somewhere warm, you need to have at least one cardigan for the evenings or for an unexpected cooler day. The Milan Fine Italian Cashmere Cardigan is lightweight and ever-soft. If you opt for white, you'll fit right in on the edge of Lake Como sipping your Aperol Spritz. 

Bon voyage!
