Stow First Class Tech Case: a traveller's vade mecum

A recent trip to Venice allowed me to test the Stow First Class Tech Case. Anyone on the move, whether for business or pleasure, likes to keep in touch through phone, tablet or laptop. These devices need connecting and charging and Stow's beautifully made leather case contains all that's needed to keep in touch.

The case looks like a traditional leather writing case, but contains all you need to keep your devices charged and data stored wherever you are in the world. You can tuck travel documents, passport and tickets into one side and keep the case to hand in your cabin luggage. The case was invaluable on my trip to Italy and it will accompany me on all future travels.

A luxury item for every sophisticated traveller who needs to keep in touch. £300 from Stow in a variety of colours; see the Stow website for more information and to try.

Stow - luxury travel accessories inspired by famous travellers

Launched in September 2013 STOW LONDON is a colourful collection of luxury travel accessories. Carol Lovell, Stow's founder, first became inspired by the stories of intrepid travellers from history who travelled to the far corners of the earth at a time when such travel was extremely unusual. 

A frequent globetrotter herself, with a background in executive travel recruitment and jewellery retail, Carol recognised a need for beautiful, useful and well designed travel accessories for storing jewellery, travel documents, phones, mini iPads and other tech. paraphernalia. 

The initial range has expanded to include items for men as well as women, with inspiration coming from modern day adventurers as well as those from history. The older and sophisticated male traveller often finds the need to stow away watches, cuff links, tie pins, electronic gear and so on. Carol's products provide an alternative to wrapping them in your socks or silk pocket squares - something I usually do, I'm afraid.

So, for Carol, the adventure continues and there is a cuff links case due out later this year as the men's range is extended.

The products are crafted in butter-soft Spanish leather with soft goat suede linings, beautifully finished and in the jewel-like colours including Amethyst, Sapphire Blue, Amber Orange, Rose Pink and Smoky Quartz Brown.

Every design comes with a secret 'Stowaway' – a small leather envelope hidden inside for those extra special treasures, whatever they may be – an engagement ring, lock of hair, miniature photograph or a child's first tooth. Every item can be specially personalised by being gold-embossed with initials and you can have a special message or date embossed on the reverse.
