The Specific Toe Bag Celebrities and Fashion Editors Pack For Every Trip to Heathrow

As a fashion editor, I have a real soft spot for airport styling, particularly when it comes to celebrities. There's something fascinating about their camera-ready take on comfort; this distinctive style set has truly mastered the art of easy elegance. Over the years, after closely observing their travel looks, I’ve come to realise that their success often hinges on a handful of carefully chosen accessories.

Of course, the right shoes are essential—ideally something that slips off easily for security, but still looks polished enough to walk straight into an event. But perhaps the most important travel companion of all? The perfect tote bag.

Roomy enough to hold every in-flight essential yet refined enough to complement an off-duty look, there are a few go-to totes that celebrities—and fashion editors alike—consistently rely on when heading to Heathrow. Chief among them is Longchamp’s My Pliage Signature Travel Bag.

Spacious with a zip fastening and buckle closure, this chic tote is as practical as it is stylish. It’s customisable, as seen on Rachel Brosnahan’s monogrammed version, and features a durable canvas finish with a handy interior pocket. Able to tuck neatly under a plane seat while holding an impressive number of belongings, it’s easy to see why this tote has achieved cult status.

Beloved far beyond the A-list, it’s also a firm favourite among fashion editors. Just take a look at the parade of Longchamp totes passing through Heathrow during Fashion MonthWho What Wear’s Editor-in-Chief Hannah Almassi included, who picked hers up in a rich blue shade.
