ON THE CASE 

Globe-Trotter luggage is that most decadent of purchases. Yes, the suitcases are practical and handmade in England, but they’re also incredibly opulent and come with a hefty price tag. Still, you can’t put a price on the enviable looks your gorgeous case will elicit from strangers when you wheel it through Heathrow Airport. The elegant new Olive & Charcoal colourway is a modern classic in the making. Globe-Trotter Centenary Carry-On 4-Wheel Case, £1,595; globe-trotter.com

SCALE UP 

OK, there’s no easy way to wrap this up or stick it into the bottom of a stocking, but to really pull out all the stops this Christmas, give the gift of music with a fabulous Steinway & Sons piano. The legendary piano maker has just launched the new Noé Limited Edition grand piano, created in collaboration with French designer Noé Duchaufour-Lawrance. The unique design is a cutting-edge twist on the classic instrument, with a fluid ‘flowing’ shape around the rim and round legs inspired by the curved traces of ink notes on paper.
